This article analyzes the prevalence of risk health behaviors in a suburban community (for example: tobacco, alcoholic drinks and coffee consumption, negligent oral hygiene, lack of weight control and sedentary lifestyle). A sample of 680 subjects was selected according to sex and age distribution. The Healthy Behaviors Questionnaire by Herrero, Musitu and Garcia (1996) was administered . In order to study the relation between variables, correlation and variance analyses were conducted. According to the results, sex and age have a significant statistical impact on these behaviors.
