    Objective: To analyze the evidence on the risk factors for dengue infection. Methodology: A systematic review of observational and retrospective data summaries, these articles were gathered based on studies published on the internet such as Lipecs, Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, Ebsco, Scopus, Epistemonikos. The selected articles underwent a critical reading, using the Grade evaluation system to identify their level of evidence. Results: Ten articles were selected. Ten percent of the studies found were from Colombia, the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, twenty percent from Peru, and forty percent from Cuba. Systematic review studies account for 100% of the analyzed studies. Conclusions: The studies demonstrate that the cultural factor (lack of knowledge) is the greatest risk factor for dengue infection. The lack of knowledge about preventive measures to avoid increasing breeding sites for the vector, such as uncovered water containers (due to lack of water supply) and delays in garbage collection (accumulation of waste), are the most prevalent.
