Abstract
Introduction: arterial hypertension, is a cardiovascular risk factor very prevalent in the world and, in turn, is an obstacle to the achievement of a good state of health. Objective: to determine the prevalence of arterial hypertension and the associated risk factors in undergraduate students of a Higher Education Institution of the city of Barranquilla (Colombia), specifically those related to physical inactivity, obesity and family history. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study. The representative sample was 260 students of the different undergraduate programs. Results: the study showed a prevalence of hypertension of 4.6% and 9.2% of pre-hypertension with predominance of the male sex. The prevalence of the risk factors studied was as follows: family history with 72.7% more frequently from the father, predominantly with a history of hypertension; abdominal obesity with a 26.5% male predominance; and in relation to physical inactivity, 26.1% of the population classified as insufficiently active and 24.2% inactive, with a predominance of females at these levels.
