Angelica Fierro, who is responsible for the Non-Communicable Disease Program, said that in Santa Cruz, between 10 and 15% of the population had diabetes, while obesity reached 36% of the population, overweight to 26% and hypertension, to 22%.
A survey of risk factors, carried out from 2013 to 2017, shows that there are more people staying, because only 20% practice some physical activity and the rest do not.
