As doen as cr nicas n o-transmiss赤veis, em especial as doen ascardiovasculares, t那m-se revelado como importante causa de morbimortalidade no Brasil, principalmente na 芍rea urbana. Estes agravos apresentam in迆meros fatores de risco, entre os quais s o reconhecidos a hereditariedade, a idade, a ra a, o sexo, a hipertens o arterial, o tabagismo, as dislipidemias, a diabetes, a obesidade e o sedentarismo. Este estudo buscou estimar a preval那ncia de alguns fatores de risco para doen as cardiovasculares em indiv赤duoshipertensos, de 20 a 79 anos, cadastrados em uma Unidade de Sa迆de da Fam赤lia de Londrina, Estado do Paran芍. Os dados foram coletados em entrevista domiciliar, com quest es referentes a aspectos socioecon micos e demogr芍ficos, estilo de vida e condi o desa迆de.

Observou-se elevada preval那ncia de fatores de risco cardiovasculares, especialmente a inatividade f赤sica. O manejo adequado destes fatores com medidas educativas e preventivas 谷 fundamental para a redu o dascomplica es cardiovasculares no grupo de pacientes hipertensos. Non-transmissible diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, have emerged as important causes of morbidity and mortality in Brazil, mainly in urban areas. Heredity, age, race, gender, high blood pressure and lipids, smoking, diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity are recognized risk factors for these events. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of some risk factors forcardiovascular diseases among hypertensive patients aged 20 to 79 years who had been enrolled in a Health Family Unit in Londrina, Paran芍 State, Brazil. Data was collected during home interviews, with questions about demographic and socioeconomic aspects, lifestyle and health condition. Among the 385 interviewed patients, the followingprevalence rates were observed: 28.6% of raised blood cholesterol; 16.9% of smoking; 5.5% of regular use of alcoholic beverages, 70.4% of physical inactivity; 22.9% of diabetes and 30.9% of family history of cardiovascular disease. A high prevalence of risk factors wasobserved, particularly physical inactivity. Adequate management of these risk factors with preventive and educative measures is essential to reduce cardiovascular complications in this group of hypertensive patients.
