Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the inclusion of the perspective of Social Health Determinants in the Physical Therapy program at Universidad Nacional de La Matanza. Firstly, we systematized 87 intervention projects approved between 2014 and 2019, which had been prepared by students and tutored by an interdisciplinary teaching team. Complex variables were operationalized and coded in the sections: Title, Topic, Problem and General Objective. The information was processed in frequencies, ratios and bivariate analysis. Most projects focus their intervention problem on lifestyle and suggest promoting behavior modifications. Titles including healthy ageing, cardiorespiratory and postural health were found in every year of the analyzed period. In line with the proposal of determinants, lifestyle and environment were the most predominant.
