ABSTRACT
Background: the prevalence of hypertension has
increased, associated to inadequate alimentary patterns,
decrease of physical activity, and other behaviour
patterns related to toxic habits.
Objective: characterizing the prevalence of
hypertension in the Area I Cienfuegos in 2010-2011.
Methods: a descriptive and cross-section study was
conducted. The sampling units were: districts, areas
and sections that contained the houses, were the
individuals were selected; the sample consisted on 373
people, their blood pressure was taken and an opinion
poll was applied, the variables were: age, sex, personal
record of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, tobacco
addiction, type of physical activity, weight, size,
abdominal circumference.
Results: prevalence of hypertension was a 33.8 %, with predominance of the masculine sex, the 65.0 % of the
hypertensive knew their condition and a 35.0 % was
hypertensive and did not know it. Only the 23.8 % of
the total of them were controlled, and the 44.1 % of
them were under treatment. The prevalence of
hypertension among smokers was 32.7 %. The 55%
were diabetics, the 46.5 % were obese and the 50 %
had an altered measurement of the abdominal waist.
Conclusions: it was detected a hidden prevalence of hypertension and lack of control in patients under
treatment with predominance of the masculine sex,
among the studied risk factors, the diabetics and the
obese presented a prevalence of hypertension two
times bigger than the ones that did not have these risk
factors.
