Conclusions: People of Kara kara general health is affected by nutritional reproductive and psychological aspects, but the most important social determinant of health seems to be education, formal as well as health education that conditioned to nutrition and prevention behavior.

Abstract (Spanish):	Objetivos: el objetivo de ese trabajo fue indagar sobre el estado de salud valorado a través de la revisión médica de la comunidad de K'ara kara y su posible relación con las determinantes sociales de la salud. Métodos: se realizó revisión clínica a pobladores adultos y niños de dos barrios de Kara kara, y se tomaron muestras de sangre y orina a los niños. Resultados: se analizaron varias variables en relación con las determinantes sociales de la salud, y se encontró que la malnutrición es uno de los factores que sobresalen, junto al alto índice de abortos y problemas del embarazo. Conclusiones: La salud en general de los pobladores de Kara kara está afectada en los aspectos nutricional, reproductivo, psicológico y otros, pero la determinante más importante en este caso es la educación tanto formal como la educación en salud que determinan el estado nutricional y la conducta de prevención.
