Introduction: Prevention is defined as the reduction of risk factors, detention in the progression of the disease and minimizing its consequences (WHO). In 2006, no association was found between social determinants among medical students in a Peruvian university, and health promotion and prevention. The main of the study is to determine if there is an association in having healthcare professional relatives and getting chest x-ray in the last year, in medical students from a Peruvian university. Materials and method: analytical transversal, in which a data collection form was used, tested in a pilot in order to calculate the sample size. The study population was medical students from a Peruvian University. We performed a simple random sampling and used Stata12 for the analysis. Results: 26,38% students got a chest x-ray, mainly because of general medical examination (57,89%), the ones who did not were mostly because of lack of interest (60,38%). We didn`t found a significant association between the studied variables (PR:1,3 IC95%:0,6-2,9). 31,58% of the interviewed with healthcare professional relatives and the 24,53% without healthcare professional relatives got the test. Conclusions: There is no significant association between having healthcare professional relatives and getting a preventive chest x-ray. More than 70% of the cases that did not get a chest x-ray are due to the lack of interest.
