Descriptive, cross-sectional study of 76 people belonging to the Yanaconas Indigenous Resguardos of Rioblanco - Colombia. An instrument based on the STEPS -OMS protocol was used to determine the factors associated with noncommunicable diseases in the population. The participants were between the ages of 29 to 59 (60.5%) years old; most were physically active, with the most used means of transportation being non-motorized "walking" (46.1%). The indigenous community was found to have risk factors such as low educational level and bad eating habits; exposure to wood smoke in this population was high, at 57.9%; however, tobacco use was lower, at 3.9%, with alcohol use at 34.2%.
