Abstract: Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) la Hipertensión Arterial (HTA) es una enfermedad no trasmisible, letal, que pocas veces se diagnostica en sus primeras etapas, siendo reconocida como una patología multifactorial. En la actualidad los factores de riesgo asociados a HTA se agrupan en modificables (dieta y estilos de vida) y no modificables (edad, género y la herencia). Los factores de riesgo modificables para HTA pueden clasificarse como comportamentales, es decir aquellos que están ligados al est… Show more

Introduction: arterial hypertension (HTN) is a chronic disease characterized by a continuous increase in blood pressure levels above the limits above which cardiovascular risk increases.Objective: characterize aspects related to arterial hypertension.Method: a review of the literature available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, of which a total of 16 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used. Results: HTN is one of the most prevalent modifiable risk factors for morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is a chronic disorder with asymptomatic characteristics, which causes lesions silently as long as it is not detected or treated in time. Changes related to aging favor increased blood pressure. It is necessary to indicate that the modifiable risk factors for HTN can be classified as behavior, those that are linked to lifestyle, susceptible to changes in behavioral habits, can be smoking, inadequate diet rich in fats, poor consumption of vegetables and fruits, low physical activity, stress, among others that could be involved in the risk of developing associated diseases.Conclusions: high blood pressure is an important risk factor for many diseases, with a currently increasing prevalence. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial to maintaining a good quality of life, with adequate treatment and a healthy lifestyle being essential.

Introduction: arterial hypertension is a disorder in which blood vessels have blood pressure above the limits above which cardiovascular risk increases, changes related to aging favor the increase in blood pressure.Objective: to identify the risk factors for arterial hypertension in older adults of the Provincial Directorate of MIES of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas.Method: a quantitative, observational, descriptive and prospective study was carried out on the risk factors for arterial hypertension in older adults of the Provincial Directorate of the MIES of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas during the year 2022. The population consisted of 90 older adults from whom a sample of 60 cases was selectedResults: 43.3 % of the participants are single, among the singles 25 % have a primary education level, 56.6 % are female, of which 30 % are within the age range of 71 to 80 years, 77 % of the sample studied did not present a family history of the disease, 93 % of the respondents do physical activity, 88 % of them report that they consume low-salt foods, 21.7 % are between the weight range of 63-75 kg, 53 % of the respondents are overweight, 95 % of respondents reported not smoking cigarettes, 93 % indicated not drinking alcohol at all.Conclusions: It can be seen that there is a predominance of females and older adults between 70 and 80 years of age, family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, inadequate diets, stress, as well as toxic habits such as alcohol and cigarette consumption are shown as important risk factors in the suffering of the disease.
