    The objective is to describe the perception of university students on socio-environmental factors and their relationship with health. The study includes 318 students aged between 18 and 41, with 71% female, 28% male, and 1% other genders. These students are enrolled in undergraduate programs at a public university in Mexico. A questionnaire was administered using Google Forms, employing a Likert scale with 60 items covering various variables. The methodology employed is quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive. Some key findings indicate that 85% of students always perceive a connection between the environment and their health, 10% frequently, 4% occasionally, and 1% never. Regarding the consumption of untreated water, 63% consider it always harmful, 14% frequently, 16% occasionally, and 7% never. When asked about alcohol consumption, 66% believe it to be a risk factor for the development and exacerbation of diseases, with 13% responding frequently, 14% occasionally, and 7% never. Additionally, 87% state that their sexual behavior has never put them in risky situations, with 8% occasionally, 2% frequently, and 3% always. Regarding stress, 68% view it as always being a risk factor, 11% frequently, 13% occasionally, and 8% never. It is noted that having knowledge about the influence of socio-environmental factors on health does not guarantee appropriate and favorable behavior in this regard.
