Results: prevalence of hypertension was a 33.8 %, with predominance of the masculine sex, the 65.0 % of the hypertensive knew their condition and a 35.0 % was hypertensive and did not know it. Only the 23.8 % of the total of them were controlled, and the 44.1 % of them were under treatment. The prevalence of hypertension among smokers was 32.7 %. The 55% were diabetics, the 46.5 % were obese and the 50 % had an altered measurement of the abdominal waist.
Conclusions: it was detected a hidden prevalence of hypertension and lack of control in patients under treatment with predominance of the masculine sex, among the studied risk factors, the diabetics and the obese presented a prevalence of hypertension two times bigger than the ones that did not have these risk factors.
