The computer constitutes an elementary tool in the life of man; has reduced multiple work and academic activities. However, this benefit is contrasted with the evidence that associates its use with musculoskeletal problems. Objective: To determine the association between musculoskeletal discomfort and ergonomic risk in Computer Science students at the Center for Productive Technical Education (CETPRO) Maynas. Methods: The research has an observational cross-sectional design. The sample size was 61 Computing students, whose age ranges from 16 to 42 years. The instruments used were: RULA method, Nordic questionnaire and questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Results: The results do not show a significant relationship between ergonomic risk and musculoskeletal discomfort; however, it was evidenced that the time of computer use between 21 to 25 hours/week showed risk for neck discomfort; while the study time in the race was related to the risk of discomfort in the shoulder and elbow-forearm. Regarding ergonomic risk, it was found that 44.26% of the population had a level 4, 29.5% level 3 and 26.2% a level 2 according to the RULA method. Likewise, in the reports of musculoskeletal discomfort, in the last 12 months the dorsal-lumbar area with 54.10% was more affected; while in the last 7 days, the neck area stood out with 57.38%. Conclusions: Even when no significant relationship was found between the main variables of the study, the results of each one show the need to incorporate programs of healthy measures in users.
