Abstract

An observational and analytical study was conducted, with a longitudinal design (case - control), with the objective of determining the main risk factors associated with arterial hypertension in adults of the `` Fernando Echenique '' Community of the Río Cauto municipality, in the period from October 2018 to January 2019. The universe consisted of 650 patients. The study sample consisted of 60 patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension and the controls of 180 patients who did not present the disease. It was determined in the study that the ages between 41 and 50 years and 51-60 were the most representative of the study sample. According to sex, the female predominated with 42 hypertensive patients for 70% and 68.7% of the control sample. The black and mestizo races were those that predominated in the study sample. As for presenting a Family Pathological History of Arterial Hypertension, it proved to be the most significant risk factor since the OR calculation = 5.71 reflects this. In the case of smoking, it turned out to be another important risk factor since more than 30% of the study sample presented this toxic habit. Sedentary lifestyle turned out to be the second most important risk factor being the OR = 3.1.
