    The tumor markers total PSA and free PSA serve as an aid in the early diagnosis of prostate pathologies. The present research work sought to determine the levels of total and free prostate antigen and relate the data obtained with the risk factors in men over 40 years of age from the San Andrés Parish of the Santiago de Píllaro Canton. The study was of a transvers al descriptive type, where first a general talk was given to all residents who belong to the Parish of San Andrés, all types of doubts were cleared and then 45 participants were chosen and a date was agreed for the delivery of the with informed opinion, the survey and sample collection. The Chi square statistical test was carried out using the SPSS statistical program. This is a non-param etric comparison test that will allow us to observe the level of significance that exists between the variables. To develop the statistical test, the values of the prostate antigens measured and the surveys that were carried out by the participants in the area were used, where the risk factors (data obtained from the survey) were related to the levels obtained of total PSA and Free PSA. Using the chemiluminescence method, the serum levels of total PSA and free PSA were determined, in order to fulfill the general objecti v e, obtaining as results that 93% of the total samples have values within the reference ranges while the 7% have high levels. The verification of the hypothesis was carried out through the Chi Square statistical test where the values obtained accept the null hypothesis, since the results were greater than the value p = 0.05 proposed, this indicates that statistically there is no correlation between the variables studied.
