RESUMEN
Se presentan por primera vez en una publicación nacional los conceptos y aspectos metodológicos más importantes relacionados con la adecuación del método general para estimar la carga de factores de riesgo, al caso particular de los factores de riesgo ambientales. Los trabajos fundamentales sobre este tema han sido desarrollados desde hace un poco más de 10 años por especialistas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Se ilustra el procedimiento con la estimación de la carga atribuible al factor de riesgo ambiental agua y saneamiento en Cuba. El objetivo del trabajo es contribuir a un mayor conocimiento y debate sobre estas técnicas, lo que eventualmente conduciría a su gradual aplicación y al uso inteligente de sus resultados en la toma de decisiones relacionadas con la salud ambiental(AU)
