Our environment is not exempt from this pathology, even the figures are higher than what can be expected. The incidence of this condition on the quality of life of the patient is of vital importance since it can limit to an important degree the functional independence of the same, however, very little has been investigated in our environment on the subject in relation to the that the topic demands. Therefore, this study seeks to approach our reality and contrast it with the trend of the global figures of this disease, so that we can count on a more accurate statistic as far as our environment is concerned.
