Objective: To establish the factors associated with the presence of diabetic foot in patients treated at the Centro de Diabetes Cardiovascular del Caribe in Barranquilla (Atlántico), July-October 2009. Materials and methods: Analytical study of cases and controls. It was taken as a sample 200 patients, men and women, treated at the Centro de Diabetes Cardiovascular del Caribe in Barranquilla; 100 with presence of diabetes food, and 100 without of presence of diabetic foot; A twenty-seven question survey was done to each patient; whose objective was to determine the factor related to diabetic foot. The tabulation and analysis of data were computed using the software Epi Info version 6.04d and the Microsoft Office 2003 package. Results: The macroangiopaty and the microangiopaty were important in diabetic foot presence (OR = 44.33; p = 0.000 y OR = 13.62; p = 0.00 respective), the neuropathy (OR = 10.14; p = 0.00) and the foot deformity (OR = 10.02; p= 0.00) were associated significantly. Self-care was found to be a protective factor (OR = 0.21; p = 0.00). Conclusions: The macroangiopaty, the microangiopaty, the neuropathy and the feet deformity were considered as associated factors to the presence of diabetic foot disease.
