Antecedentes: Los cuidadores formales suelen estar sometidos a situaciones físicas y psicológicas, que en muchos casos terminan en molestias o alteraciones músculo esqueléticas generadas por el estrés afectando de esta manera su calidad de vida

Resultados: En la población estudiada se encontró que en los últimos doce meses y últimos siete días el 37,5% y el 12,5% respectivamente de la población presentaron molestias músculo esqueléticas en las zonas del cuello y la espalda baja; también se observó un riesgo cardio vascular del 52,5%, correlacionado con el riesgo postural del 42,5% conocido como leve y el 40,0% como alto, con una significancia de P 0,008%.
Conclusiones: Las cuidadoras formales tienen múltiples afectaciones, siendo las más prevalentes dolor en la zona baja de la espalda con 37,5% los últimos doce meses y 12,5% los últimos siete días; y el cuello con 12,5% los últimos doce meses y 7,5% los últimos siete días; lo que conlleva a dificultades con la salud física y mental, así como también en el orden social y económico.
