Abstract
PACIOS ALFONSO, Nereida and SALAZAR CASANOVA, Humberto. Factores de riesgo relacionados con los accidentes domésticos. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 1998, vol.14, n.5, pp. 440-444. ISSN 1561-3038.
Risk factors are observed at 176 homes during 12 months. Apartments are classified into 3 groups according to the number of factors. Homes are quarterly visited and the characteristics of the accidents occurred are analyzed. 63 % of the accidents are detected in 30 % of the houses. The highest morbidity is concentrated on those houses having more risk factors, which makes us think that the educative work must be planned and differentiated, specially directed to modify conducts at high risk houses in order to make the prevention of the phenomenon more effective
Keywords : ACCIDENTS, HOME; RISK FACTORS.
