Introduction: Colon polyps are prominences of the intestinal mucosa that protrude into the lumen of the colon. Objective: To identify colonic polyps in patients with comorbidities who were treated in the Gastroenterology service of the Hospital General del Norte de Guayaquil IESS Ceibos during the period 2019 to 2020. Materials and methods: an Observational, Retrospective and Cross-sectional study was carried out. . No sampling was performed for this study. We worked with a total population of 246 patients. Results: Of the 246 patients, 113 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. Conclusions: It was determined that from 113 patient histories, 70% were female. The most frequent age group is 60 – 74 years old, 50%. The least frequent 18 – 44 years of age, 6.19%. Alcohol and tobacco 10%. Regarding comorbidities, the prevalence of obesity (44.24%) and overweight (30.97%) was observed. 50% of the patients had hypertension, as well as chronic gastritis, 26.55% had diabetes. 76% of the patients presented sessile polyps, on the other hand 13.27% were not specified in the patients' clinical history. It is observed that the mean glycemia was 115.19 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 43.74 mg/dL with a range between 63 mg/dL to 337 mg/dL. The mean of triglycerides was 159.27 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 92.43 mg/dL, with a minimum of 51 mg/dL and a maximum of 636 mg/dL.
