Introduction: Among the fundamental activities carried out by family physicians and nurses are health registration and the analysis of the health situation (AHS), which aims to identify health problems along with their causes and consequences for individuals, families, and the community as a whole, in order to develop actions that contribute to their solution.
Objective: To characterize the health status of 150 individuals belonging to Family Doctor's Office #13 of the "Luis Carbó" Teaching Polyclinic.
Methods: An observational, analytical, and retrospective study with an epidemiological approach was conducted at Family Doctor's Office No. 13 (FDO #13), "Luis Carbó" Polyclinic, in the municipality of San Miguel de Padrón, Havana, during the period between March and April 2025.
Results: An aging population was found, with morbidity primarily due to non-communicable chronic diseases. Risk factors and the influences of socioeconomic conditions predominated. Strengths were identified in the compliance with some health programs.
Conclusions: The AHS constitutes an example of the highest degree of community participation to improve population health. This approach is an important instrument in the work of the basic health team.
