- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate factors associated with the development of Arterial Hypertension (AH) among individuals living in a quilombola [peopled with ancestors from the African continent] community. Method: cross- sectional study, carried out with 74 participants. Data were collected by filling out two forms with sociodemographic / socioeconomic and lifestyle questions. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Results: female gender, black race, married, incomplete elementary education and economic class C2 predominated. The presence of AH was self-reported by 37.8%, of these 22.9% were women and 14.9% men. Higher percentages of non-obese, non-smoking, non-alcoholic and practitioners of some type of physical activity were obtained. Regarding dietary habits, the consumption of fruit, vegetables, salads, industrialized spices, processed and ultra-processed foods was observed. Concerning the recommendations on healthy eating, 64.9% stated they had never received guidance and 48.6% did not seek health care. Conclusion: significant percentages were found relating to risk factors for the development of AH.
