| Resumo: | Specific Characteristics of the male ́s universe as the symbolism of masculinity may hamper self-care practices, as well the demand for health services, making the men more vulnerable to illness. To resolve this situation, it was created in Brazil theNational Policy of Men's Integral Health Care (NPMIHC). Then, this study aims to delineate the profile of men who accessed primary health care services from the North Zone of Natal / RN and verify the knowledge of NPMIHCby this group. Therefore, it was performed a cross-sectional study with 155 men between 20 and 59 years old who answered a questionnaire to characterize them as: socioeconomic status, habits, disease profile, NPMIHC ́s knowledge and perception of the health services accessed. Then it was found, among other things, that most individuals were brown, had lower education, income between 1 and 2 salaries and ignored the NPMIHC. Regarding the health service, 90.3% said they had solved their demand, but only 55.4% considered the service ́s assistance satisfactory.In this sense, men who access primary health care are, mostly, from low socioeconomic status and unaware of NPMIHC. Then, it ́s necessary to disseminate more information about thispolicy and adequate health services to meet the real needs of the male population |
