Introduction:
Preconception reproductive risk is the probability that a non-pregnant woman has of suffering harm, on herself or her offspring, if she is involved in the reproductive process.
Objective:

The sample consisted of 160 women who presented preconception risk and selected using the nonprobabilistic sampling technique by intentional criteria (intentional sampling). A questionnaire was applied to collect data, with prior informed consent. Individual and family medical records and preconception risk cards were reviewed. The variables studied were age, nutritional status, toxic habits, use of contraceptives, parity, intergenic period, and associated chronic diseases. The data were statistically processed and, after the summary, they were expressed in frequency and percentage values.
Results:
