An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 79 women chosen by systemic sampling in health area of "Emilia de Córdoba" Teaching polyclinic, from San Nicolás de Bari municipality during 2007, to analyze behavior of no-useful vaginal cytology and factors causing its incidence. We noted a high figure of non-useful cytologies accounting for 23,1 % and its main causes are fundamentally related to early sexual intercourses in 56 cases aged from 15 to 19, to 70,9 % and age of first delivery was under 20 years, as well as the sexually transmitted infections (moniliasis and trichomoniasis). Smoking and excessive use of hormonal contraceptives were present as cofactors.
