This study investigated the perception that the residents of a condominium in the city of Sao Paulo have about their stress and life conditions, with the goal of establishing a critical reflection based on a ethnoepidemiologic proposal. We employed descriptive research on residential condominium called "Projeto Viver Celso Garcia – CPV” in the district of Belenzinho, east of the state capital, with contributions of anthropology (ethnography) and descriptive epidemiology as the main means for better understanding our object of study. The interviews allowed us to complement additional data collection; held with 16 residents and a key non-resident informant, using a questionnaire adapted from Peluso & Blay (2008), Lipp (1999), Holmes & Rahe ( 1976) and Sheldon Cohen et al (1983). The interviews were conducted during the second half of 2009 and the analysis and treatment in the first half of 2010. The responses were categorized and interpreted based on adapting the technique of "content analysis" in Pondé et al (2009) and Minayo (2007). The ethnography was based on the concepts of Georges Canguilhem in his book "The Normal and Pathological" (2009) and epidemiological data were based on research to databases from the SIAB - Information System of Primary Care. The approach allowed ethnoepidemiologic find in the multifaceted and ambiguous character of stress, a predominance of polarized feelings among the descriptors "frustrating and gratifying" showing different ways dependent on the ways of walking life. It also allowed us to see the stress as "faithfulness or unfaithfulness" associated with “individual organic whole – environment” according to the production of individual or collective norms that modulate ways of walking life following ideas of Georges Canguilhem. The study was suitable as a resource for better understanding of the need for capacity and production of norms in complex systems such as those which are involved on the general adaptation syndrome and adaptive disorders in urban conditions of living as well.
