Realizar revisão sistemática sobre fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos, comportamentais e antropométricos associados à hipertensão (HAS). Foram incluídos estudos observacionais, de populações com 18 anos ou mais, dos últimos dez anos, publicados em inglês, português ou espanhol das bases Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus e Lilacs. Ao final, foram incluídos 42 artigos, a maioria do tipo seccional. A idade e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) elevados foram os fatores relacionados à maior chance de ter HAS mais encontrados nos estudos. Outros fatores associados à HAS foram: sexo (masculino), escolaridade (menor escolaridade), renda (menor renda) e circunferência da cintura (elevada). Nunca ter fumado, nunca ter consumido álcool e ter cor branca apareceram como características relacionadas a menor chance de ter HAS. Assim, características demográficas, socioeconômicas, comportamentais e antropométricas são importantes fatores associados a maior chance de ter HAS na população adulta. Entretanto, enquanto a maioria dos fatores associados à HAS for passível de intervenção, serão necessárias políticas de promoção da saúde mais amplas para reduzir as desigualdades socioeconômicas na prevalência de hipertensão.

Abstract:
Conduct a systematic review of papers to identify demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and anthropometric factors associated with hypertension. This article included observational studies of populations aged 18 years or more in the last ten years, published in English, Portuguese or Spanish, Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus and Lilacs databases. At the end, 42 articles were included, most of them of the sectional type. The main factors associated with hypertension found in the studies were older age and high Body Mass Index (BMI). The study also found other factors such as, gender (male), schooling (lower schooling), income (lower income) and waist circumference (high). On the other hand, never having smoked, never having consumed alcohol and having white color are associated with lower chance of having hypertension. Therefore, demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and anthropometric characteristics are associated with greater chance of having hypertension in the adult population. However, while most factors associeated with hypertension are amenable to intervention, broader health promotion policies will be needed to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of hypertension.
