Arterial Hypertension, Senior Adult, Risk FactorsAbstract
Introduction: arterial hypertension (HTN) is a chronic disease characterized by a continuous increase in blood pressure levels above the limits above which cardiovascular risk increases.
Objective: characterize aspects related to arterial hypertension.
Method: a review of the literature available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, of which a total of 16 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.
Results: HTN is one of the most prevalent modifiable risk factors for morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is a chronic disorder with asymptomatic characteristics, which causes lesions silently as long as it is not detected or treated in time. Changes related to aging favor increased blood pressure. It is necessary to indicate that the modifiable risk factors for HTN can be classified as behavior, those that are linked to lifestyle, susceptible to changes in behavioral habits, can be smoking, inadequate diet rich in fats, poor consumption of vegetables and fruits, low physical activity, stress, among others that could be involved in the risk of developing associated diseases.
Conclusions: high blood pressure is an important risk factor for many diseases, with a currently increasing prevalence. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial to maintaining a good quality of life, with adequate treatment and a healthy lifestyle being essential.
