A longitudinal study was conducted aimed at knowing the relation of arterial hypertension with obesity, the hyperlipoproteinemias and hyperglycemia.The sample was composed of 218 patients. The levels of glycemia and lipids in the hypertensive and normotensive were correlated. The statistical method used was the t of Student test (p £ 0.005 with statistical significance). The obese and non-obese hypertensive had higher levels of glycemia and lipids than the obese and non-obese normotensive (p<0.005). 77.2 % of the hypertensive had at least an associated cardiovascular risk factor. It was concluded that the levels of glycemia and lipids are higher in the hypertensive than in the normotensive independently of the presence or not of obesity, and that arterial hypertension is frequently associated with with other cardiovascular risk factors.
