- Abstract
Objective: to investigate the association of sociodemographic characteristics with cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive men. Method: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 men interviewed and clinically evaluated. Data were analyzed descriptively and by Fisher’s Exact or Person Chi-Square tests. The level of statistical significance was 5%. Results: there was a higher prevalence of smoking in ≤60 years (p=0.002), insufficient level of physical activity in ≥60 years (p=0.017), passive smokers in whites (p=0.026) and without a partner (p=0.039), and excessive consumption of alcohol at the weekend in whites (p=0.043) and men with lower schooling (p=0.041). Conclusion: sociodemographic characteristics were associated with a high prevalence of uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive men.
