摘要
Objective: Estimate the prevalence of high-risk behaviors and cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive population assisted by the teams of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in a northern city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: This is cross-sectional study with representative sample of hypertensive population registered by teams of the FHS. The prevalence of risk factors and behaviors were compared between men and women using the chi-square test, assuming a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: The study included 720 people. Among the variables investigated, we highlight the following risk behaviors: inactivity, low fruit intake and consumption of red meat with visible fat. Some risk factors were more prevalent among men and higher proportions of values for uncontrolled hypertension were also recorded for men (57.6%). Conclusions: The results showed a high prevalence of risk factors and high-risk behaviors for cardiovascular disease in this population, especially among men.
