We conducted an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of morbidity from laryungeal diseases in teachers who work at "Rafael María de Mendive" high school in Santiago de Cuba province. Through questioning and clinical examination including indirect laryngoscopy, we detected the presence or absence of such disease. Associated risk factors were analyzed such as age, sex, somatotype, toxic habits, teaching responsibilities, individual pathologic histories given by infections in upper respiratory tracts and oral cavity; emotional dosorders, and enviromental dust and noise. There was a significant linking between laryngeal diseases and teaching excessive work, emotional disorders, individual pathologic histories and over 3 converging risk factors.
