This study aimed to describe the living conditions and health of individuals diagnosed with Hypertension (HBP), registered and followed at Community Agents Program (PACS ) in a municipality of the State of Minas Gerais. The approach chosen was descriptive, cross-sectional. Data were collected by an interview form. The study included 40 hypertensive. Of the total respondents , 57.5 % were female , 55.0 % were aged 51-60 years and 65.0 % were married . Of the participants , 55.0 % reported levels of blood pressure (BP ) less than 140/90 mmHg , 52.5 % reported overweight / obese and 42.5 % reported being sedentary . The drug treatment was reported by 95.0% and 57.5 % of the participants treated with the combination therapy of two, three or four medications. Of the total , 50.0 % reported family incomes two to three times the minimum wage and 57.5 % were working . We observed the same proportion of individuals with first and second degree complete and incomplete , with 45.0 % , respectively. As for lifestyle , 82.5 % reported the use of a low sodium diet and 60.0 % reported not drinking alcohol . The majority of respondents , 62.5 % reported changes in their habits and lifestyle to control BP . The majority ( 85.0 % ) claimed to have used the public health service for diagnosis and 92.5 % were monitoring and treatment of disease. The biannual medical consultations was reported by 50.0 % of participants and the initial medical treatment after diagnosis of hypertension reported by 67.5 % of respondents was the drug . Approximately 55.0 % reported the existence of meetings and discussion groups on SAH , although most reported not to participate ; 52.5 % reported monitoring by the same team of health in 2011 , 87.5 % reported not find difficulties in monitoring and treatment of hypertension and 50.0 % reported that the care and monitoring of health professionals in their health unit were good . Given the implications that SAH leads to individuals to know the profile of the hypertensive and the health service that is provided to them , the findings may provide a basis for discussion and elaboration of actions and individual and collective decisions by the system health in order to promote the health and well -being of these individuals , enabling a better perspective of disease control .
