[The conduct stemming from the application of a program of preventive activities].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the results of putting into practice the Programme of Preventive Measures and Health Promotion of the SEMFYC and the level of intervention into each risk factor.


METHODS
Descriptive study of a sample of clinical records of patients included in the program. SITE. The population seen at a Health Centre.


METHODS
A sample of 772 clinical records, 51.1% being women. Average age was 31.8.


RESULTS
389 smokers, 35 people with hypertension, 175 with hypercholesterolemia, 96 heavy drinkers and 268 suffering from overweight were found. The level of intervention recorded in the clinical histories is low by the criteria of the Programme: it swings between 27.68% for overweight and 47.6% for tobacco dependency.


CONCLUSIONS
The Programme of Preventive Measures and Health Promotion (PAPPS in Spanish) is seen to be useful as a method of detecting health problems in the asymptomatic population. But it needs to be followed up with some minimal intervention and control of the problem, if the desired aims are to be met.
