A descriptive, longitudinal study aimed at implementing epidemiological stratification to control the risk factors of tuberculosis in Pinar del Rio province was carried out form 2008 to 2010. The target group was comprised of the inhabitants of the province for each of the years under study. Records and epidemiological survey were revised; taking into account the risk factors of alcoholism, smoking, diabetes mellitus, old people living alone, malnutrition, and immunosupression plus HIV/AIDS cases. To process the information Microsoft Excel and Professional MapInfo were used; making use of the epidemiological methodology to stratify the risks up to the municipal level; the strata to the risk factors of the disease were classified as: very high, high, middle and low risk. McNemar test was applied to determine the significance of changes. Results showed that in 2009, 50% of the municipalities having strata of very high, and high risk in 2009 changed their levels (85,7%), which pointed out a better control of the risk factors. The process of stratification in 2010 did not achieve favorable changes in municipalities that presented higher risk factors, since the foreseeable action plan was not serious and efficiently fulfilled by the leaders of the program, due to the instability and non-attendance of them in the municipalities with higher risk factors.Downloads
