Results: after logistic regression, the variables gender, adherence to drug therapy, previous history of heart disease and self-medicating remained associated with non-control of blood pressure. Conclusion: the prevalence of blood pressure control was 54.3%, the difficulties in antihypertensive treatment are related to factors such as personal aspects, the living environment, access to health care, highlighting as a modifiable variable non-medication adherence.
