PALU OROZCO, Adrián et al. Epidemiology contributions to the study of the male sexual diversi. MEDISAN [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.2, pp. 217-224. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and observational investigation was conducted in 175 male individuals between 15 and 45 years of age, belonging to 2 doctor´s offices of "Camilo Torres Restrepo" Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba during 2007, to define a new holistic approach from an epidemiological perspective that allows a better study of the male sexual diversity. The main results indicated that this is to be analyzed as a health and integration category, including contributions of sciences as public health, sociology, psychology, sexology and social communication, beyond its simple sexual interpretation. Analysis of determinants of the population's health state related to the orientation and male sexual behavior demonstrated the extraordinary dimension and usefulness of the epidemiology in analyzing complex social phenomena.
