Health is a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, which must be treated and identified in each region. Currently, chronic diseases are in an evolutionary process in society, due to dietary, socioeconomic and sedentary conditions of the population. The present research seeks integrally to identify the causes of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemias in the former Cooperativa Taura precinct belonging to the canton Naranjal in the province of Guayas, carrying out a periodic control of the medication and the treatment that each inhabitant must perform to control his chronic illness in the medical unit of the Ministry of Health. Unstructured observation was used when applying the questionnaire to the respondents, with the study population being 26 families, carried out in each household in the sector. Therefore, this research identified the causes of chronic diseases and established methodologies to help improving health treatments in the population in order to implement the respective controls and prevention and thus reduce the increase in these diseases.

Keywords : Chronic Diseases; Epidemiological; Health System.
