INTRODUCTION: Musculoskeletal alterations in odontology students usually develop during their professional and work training time, it is caused by the physical load and bad postures they adopt when performing their practices. Nationwide, there are few studies realized on this issue; therefore, the odontology students population, has no knowledge about the future consequences to which they are exposed during the way to their training. OBJECTIVES: The aim is to determine the sex, the most vulnerable symptomatic musculoskeletal area according to the semesters studied in students who practice at a university center in Lima. The present study is a descriptive type of cross-section, in a period from January 2018 to February 2018. PLACE: University Health Center in Lima. Participants / Materials. A secondary database was taken that consists in a survey to 150 students and/or dental practitioners. RESULTS: Of the 150 participants, the rate was 2.75 women per each man. The population was made up of students from fifth to tenth cycle, of which sixth-grade students were the most predominant population representing 20, 7% of the total, in addition, it was found that 50.7% have two or more areas of pain, of which lumbar region is considered one of the most intensity (severe) followed by the cervical region, where the pain intensity is moderate. In the areas the pain proportion is 52 and 42, respectively. Finally, the pain (slight) with greater proportion is in cervical region and the one of smaller proportion is in the shoulder. About sex, it was found that women feel 1.1% more pain than men. In addition, respect to the semester taken, differences in proportions wasn't statistically significant (p = 05). In order to calculate the power, it was found values less than 80%. CONCLUSIONS: There was a non-significant result in relation of the areas of musculoskeletal pain and the semesters studied in odontology students.
