To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and associated factors in the Administrative Staff, Teachers and Employees of the University Corporation of Economic Sciences, Education and Health. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, a structured survey was carried out using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire and aspects related to risk agents evaluated in the First National Survey of Health and Work Conditions of 2007. The survey was applied to 44 workers of an Institution of Higher Education of Private Character. Results: A higher prevalence of painful symptoms were in the neck 54.3 %, high back 53.6 %, wrist and hand 46.4 % and lower back (lumbar) 42 %. Among the associated factors related to biomechanical agents reported by workers are the adoption of sustained postures that cause fatigue during the entire working day 22.7 %, the mobilization of loads in less than half the day and with the highest percentage of report is the repetitive movement in hands and arms 49.3 %; between the individual factors are the mass index where 31.2 % of the respondents are overweight, and a 1.4 % obesity, physical inactivity of 50.7 % aspects that represent a sedentary lifestyle. Conclusions: The results reveal that there is an association between exposure to individual factors, biomechanical and labor agents, and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which is why it is important to implement an epidemiological surveillance program for musculoskeletal disorde
