To characterize cases of absenteeism and the healthy lifestyle habits of the uniformed population of the Santiago de Cali-Colombia region. Absenteeism records for the year 2019 were unified together with reports of physical condition of the uniformed population, with a history of this circumstance, to apply the frequency distribution. 80% of the cases corresponded to a population in the age range of 26 to 40 years, most of the medical diagnoses presented affection of the musculoskeletal system, where the trunk and lower limbs appeared the as the most compromised segments. 24% presented some degree of overweight or obesity, linked to the most frequently affected body areas. The literature reports the influence of sedentary lifestyle in the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the absenteeism, so the development of studies with an analytical scope and the consideration of health promotion in the workplace by the organization under study becomes important.
