Methods: A case-control study was conducted, in which adolescents (10-19 years old) who presented with uncomplicated abortion at the León hospital were defined as cases; adolescents with the same characteristics but who carried their pregnancy to term and were in immediate physiological puerperium in the maternity ward of the same hospital were defined as controls.
Sample size of 330 surveys, with a confidence level of 95%.

Results: The sociodemographic variables analyzed with statistical significance for risk of abortion in adolescents were family dysfunction, urban origin, and family history of alcohol use. Value of (p = 0.000).
The most affected basic parameter of the family function was participation, with a difference between cases and controls of 68%, and the second most affected parameter of the family function was gain or growth, with a difference of 53.5%, with greater affectation of the cases.
