[Social inequities in the use of primary care services: a long way to go].
OBJECTIVE
To describe the relation between the main variables related with social inequality and the utilization of primary care services.


METHODS
Socio-demographic variables and the number of consultations were collected in a cross-sectional study.


RESULTS
264 subjects were interviewed. 66% of the population belonged to social classes IV and V. There was statistical signification between age and number of visits (p = 0.0014) and between number of visits and monoparental families (p = 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
Most of the attended population belonged to the low and middle socio-economic levels. The relationship between non-structured families and hyper-utilization and the relationship between age and hyper-utilization is confirmed.
