Abstract
OBJECTIVES
to analyze the conicity index in people with hypertension followed in the Brazil's Family Health Strategy.
METHODS
cross-sectional study conducted in a medium-sized municipality located in the state of Paraná. Data collection took place in the first semester of 2016. using an adapted and validated instrument. which addresses attributes of Primary Health Care. Sociodemographic and anthropometric variables and blood pressure were used in the study. The analysis of variance and linear regression was used to analyze the variables.
RESULTS
a total of 417 people participated in the study. most were women. elderly. married. with less than eight years of education and retired. Conicity index was prevalent in most of the study population. being significantly associated with the group of people with inadequate blood pressure control and high anthropometric parameters.
CONCLUSIONS
most of the study participants had altered conicity index. especially those with inadequate blood pressure control.
