Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases (CNCD) are long-term conditions and their evolution is slow. Currently the number of cases is on the rise and represent the leading cause of death worldwide. The treatments are usually complex and if the population does not begin to take responsibility, taking into account the healthy habits, the consequences will be greater for the health systems. For this reason, a program based on the Primary Health Care approach was prepared, submitted to expert analysis and a pretest-posttest design research was established in the municipalities located in the Toluca Valley, in the center of the country with 188 patients with CNCD.

Las Enfermedades Crónicas No Transmisibles (ECNT) son padecimientos de larga duración y su evolución es lenta. Actualmente el número de casos va en ascenso y representan la primera causa de muerte a nivel mundial. Los tratamientos suelen ser complejos y si la población no comienza a hacerse responsable, tomando en cuenta los hábitos saludables, las consecuencias serán mayores para los sistemas de salud. Por ello se elaboró un programa con base en el enfoque de Atención Primaria de Salud, se sometió a análisis por expertos y se estableció una investigación con diseño pretest-postest que se llevó a cabo en los municipios ubicados en el valle de Toluca, en el centro del país con 188 pacientes con ECNT.
