Hypertension constitutes the non transmissible disease of more prevalence in the world. Its influence in the development of the consequent complications of the atherosclerosis locates it among the first causes of death in the world and our country. We carried out a descriptive study in families of twelve medical clinics of the City of Havana, with the objectives to describe the behavior of the risk factors and consequent illnesses of the atherosclerosis and to determine the relationship between hypertension and risk factors and the consequent illnesses of the atherosclerosis. The principal results were: prevalence of patient hypertension in passive, obese smokers and/or overweight, sedentary, and increased waist circumference. The most frequent illnesses were cardiovascular ones. The altered waist circumference, Diabetes Mellitus, hart diseases, CVD and EAP presented a high associated risk.

Palavras-chave : hypertension; risk factors of atherosclerosis; consequent illnesses of the atherosclerosis.
