The work that is sent to this journal must be original, not published or sent to be published elsewhere; and if it is accepted for publication, authors will agree to transfer copyright to International Journal of Psychological Research.
To give up copyright, the authors allow that, International Journal of Psychological Research, distribute the work more broadly, check for the reuse by others and take care of the necessary procedures for the registration and administration of copyright; at the same time, our editorial board represents the interests of the author and allows authors to re-use his work in various forms. In response to the above, authors transfer copyright to the journal, International Journal of Psychological Research. This transfer does not imply other rights which are not those of authorship (for example those that concern about patents). Likewise, preserves the authors rights to use the work integral or partially in lectures, books and courses, as well as make copies for educational purposes. Finally, the authors may use freely the tables and figures in its future work, wherever make explicit reference to the previous publication in International Journal of Psychological Research. The assignment of copyright includes both virtual rights and forms of the article to allow the editorial to disseminate the work in the manner which it deems appropriate.

Abstract
They were applied chaos theory and a complex model of health to establish relationships between aggregate indicators of financial statements in companies of the health sector in Colombia. The increase-decrease of cash flow, profits and losses, and total assets of 75 companies, as reported by the Corporate Supervision, were analyzed. Natural logarithms and the equation of the Lorenz attractor were applied to these indicators, leading to a clasification of the sector companies in two groups according to the new indicators obtained. By a nonlinear regression model, it was obtained a 96% of explained variance in one group, and an 80% for the other group, as opposed to a linear regression model, which explained a variance of 92% and 37% respectively. However, these changes make it dificult to interpret the new indicators.
