Techniques such as clinical obser-vation, semi-structured interviews, a sur-vey (STEPS version 3.0 de la OMS) that includes measurement of body mass in-dex parameters and a laboratory history of high levels of blood pressure, glucose, lipid values, etc., were used to determi-ne the presence of non-communicable diseases and anthropometric measure-ments. The study population is made up of 20 people who work in the ESPOL stu-dent welfare unit in the month of Septem-ber of the 2019 school period and, becau-se it is a small population, the sample is of a census type, that is, it worked with the population total study.
