Objectives: to identify the prevalence of high arterial blood pressure (ABP) , respectively. The factors that remained associated with high systolic and diastolic ABP in the final model were: perceiving oneself to be less fit than one's peers (systolic OR: 2.27; diastolic OR: 2.99;) and overweight and obesity (systolic OR: 9.29; diastolic OR: 4.70; 16,4% (IC95%: 14,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]4) e de 18,5% (IC95%: 16,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]6), respectivamente. Permaneceram associados à PA sistólica e diastólica elevadas no modelo final: se perceber menos em forma que seus pares (sistólica OR: 2,27; IC95%: 1,23; diastólica OR: 2,99; IC95%: 1,70) e o sobrepeso e obesidade (sistólica OR: 9,29; IC95%: 4,69; diastólica OR: 4,70; IC95%: 2,45
