Introduction: Chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD) are of multifactorial etiologies such as genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioral, and of long evolution that affected 41 million people in 2018 and have become the main causes of mortality worldwide. Among the modifiable risk factors of behavioral characteristics we have in mind the harmful use of alcohol, inadequate diets, physical inactivity and tobacco use. Three essential components of chronic noncommunicable disease surveillance constitute a framework that all countries must establish and consolidate: monitoring of exposures (risk factors); the monitoring of the results (morbidity and mortality specific to diseases) and the responses of the health system. Goal: To determine the effect of community participation in health, as a strategy for the prevention and control of chronic noncommunicable diseases. Methodology: Qualitative descriptive-analytical study, where community participation in health is described and analyzed as a strategy for the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases. Discussion: In our critical posture, the performance of participation in the field of health is considered fundamental; because the community itself is the one that watches over the collective, individual and family health of a population, and the community itself is responsible for identifying said health problems and being able to propose proposals to modify lifestyles and achieve an optimal state of health. Conclusion:Community participation is the cornerstone of primary health care and comprehensive health management, in the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases, to avoid their manifestation or complications.
