All the patients classified as grade III had an important medical history. (ORP= 1,14 IC95% (1; 1,26 ) (p < 0,05)). Of those grade II patients, 61,1% presented any secondary mood disorder (ORP=2,58 IC95% (1,14; 5,84) (p<0,05)). Conclusions: Due to the FPHL increase in Colombian population that leads to multiple costs to the health system, it has been necessary to make further studies in order to characterize this disease.
