Abstract

Hypertension is a lethal non-communicable disease. This disease has been linked to a series of risk factors that are usually present in most people who suffer from it, grouped into modifiable and non-modifiable factors. The study of these risk factors for hypertension in older people is the central focus of this work, which aimed to describe the risk factors for high blood pressure in adults by establishing a bibliographic reference that allows for consideration of the novelty of the topic. To achieve this objective, 12 bibliographies were consulted. It was concluded that the main risk factors for this disease in adults are those associated with lifestyle, sedentary habits, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, race, gender, age, diabetes mellitus, family history of hypertension, eating habits, obesity, marital status, employment status, area of origin, and lack of physical activity.
