Abstract

The objective of this paper was to develop a preventive plan for the reduction of polyarthralgia in young adults who were treated at the San Francisco de Cunuguachay Dispensary, in the Riobamba canton, Chimborazo province. The preventive plan was based on detecting the risk factors that predispose the appearance of this pathology, in men and women, between the ages of 20 and 39. Throughout the development of this investigation, the deductive method was applied, by means of surveys; where it was taken into account: level of education, economic activity they are engaged in, ethnicity, language, painful joint and intensity of discomfort, frequency with which they perform some physical activity and knowledge about postural hygiene. It was deduced that the main risk factors are lack of physical activity and lack of knowledge about postural hygiene. After having applied the preventive plan for a period of three months, a new survey was applied to analyze the results. After the intervention proposal, it was identified that the practice of physical activity on a regular basis, at least 3 times a week and the application of postural hygiene, the appearance of joint pain in the age group under study substantially diminished.
