For 3 years, 1 412 hypertensive patients were followed up by the Family Physician for their classification, according to the hypertensive stage and the risk group recommended by the sixth report, as well as for the evaluation of the therapeutic behaviour. It was observed that 56.9 % of the examined patients had readings below 140/90. The normal high blood pressure and hipertensive stage I categories represented 90.2 % of the cases. Risk groups B and C accounted for 97.7 % of cases. There was a significant relation ship between hypertensive stages and risk groups (p = 0.00465412). In group A, 60.0 % of patients kept normal headings. In risk groups B and C, the stage I hypertensive was the most frequent. A significant proportion of patients in normal high (p = 0.00030047) and hypertensive I stages (p = 0.00011824) has an inadequate therapeutics with insufficient modifications of the life style.
