dc.description Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo-transversal para determinar los hábitos de lectura en estudiantes universitarios del decanato de medicina de la universidad centroccidental "Lisandro Alvarado", durante el mes de julio del año 2001. De un universo de 687 alumnos del área básica de la carrera de medicina, se seleccionó al azar una muestra de 200 alumnos, a los cuales se les aplicó un instrumento evaluativo tipo cuestionario. El 72,5 % de la muestra pertenecía al sexo femenino, la edad promedio fue de 19,8 años. El 50 % manifestó que le agradaba la lectura y que solo leía libros de medicina, revistas genéricas y periódicos. El 58 % señaló que también leía otros libros además de los referentes a las asignaturas de la carrera de medicina; de ellos el 40 % prefería la literatura (novelas, biografías, etcétera) y 14 % leía poesía. El 100 % refirió leer actualmente un libro, de ellos el 64 % leía uno referente a la carrera o asignaturas de ésta y 36 % leía otro tipo de libro y los referentes a las asignaturas. El promedio de horas dedicadas a la lectura fue de 4,3 h al día. El 78 % de los estudiantes entrevistados afirmó poseer una biblioteca general en su casa con un promedio de 55,5 libros, pero solo el 22 % refirió la lectura actual de un libro específico, lo que permitió inferir poca relación entre éstas 2 variables. Finalmente, a partir de una representación gráfica del gusto por la lectura y la lectura actual de un libro, según la edad de la muestra estudiada, se observó una tendencia lineal de relación entre las variables. Se recomiennda fomentar más los hábitos de lectura en los estudiantes universitarios, especialmente los de carreras como la medicina, en función de cultivar el desarrollo de seres humanos integrales y objetivos<br>A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the reading habits of university students from the medical faculty of the Central Western University "Lisandro Alvarado" in July,2001. Of a universe of 687 students from the basic area of the medical career, a sample of 200 students were randomly selected, who were applied a questionnaire-type evaluative instrument. 72.5 % of the sample was females, the average age was 19,8 years. 50 % of the sample expressed that they liked reading and only read medical books, generic journals and newspapers. 58 % pointed out that they read also other books in addition to those referred to medical subjects; 40 % of this percentage preferred literature (novels, biographies, etc) and 14 % read poetry. 100 % of the sample said they were reading a book at that moment, 64% was reading a book related to the career or some medical subject whereas 36 % read another kind of book and those referred to the subjects. The average amount of hours devoted to reading was 4,3 hours a day. 78 % of surveyed students stated that they had a general library in their own house with an average quantity of 55,5 books, but only 22 % declared the reading of an specific book at the time of the survey, so little relationship was inferred between these two variables. Finally, based on a graphical representation of the taste for reading and the reading of a book at the time, according to the age of the studied sample, a linear tendency of relationship among the variables was observed. It is recommended to encourage even more the reading habits in the university students, particularly in the medical students as a way of cultivating the development of comprehensive objective human beings
