The recognition of good clinical indicators and characteristics of accuracy for certain nursing diagnosis allows nurses to identify more accurately the diagnosis and effectively promotes the practical application of the process of nursing work. Given the importance of identifying accurate clinical indicators, this study will be developed in order to analyze the defining characteristics (DC) and related factors (RF) of the nursing diagnosis "Sedentary Lifestyle" (SL) reviewed by Guedes (2011 ) in individuals with hypertension. It was a cross-sectional study conducted with 285 individuals with hypertension, aged between 19 and 59 years, followed at a center for outpatient care, in Fortaleza, Ceará. Data collection was performed using a form based on empirical references of DC and RF in reviewing proposed by Guedes (2011), by interview and physical examination. The data obtained were analyzed by the researcher to determine the presence or absence of DC and RF and later were referred to specialist nurses who performed the diagnostic inference. It was used EXCEL, SPSS and R software for organizing and analyzing statistical data. The level of significance was 5%. The population was predominantly female, coming from the capital, living with a partner and holder of Diabetes mellitus. Half of the sample had up to 53 years, education time up to 10 years, per capita income up to R$ 500.00 and have a diagnosis of hypertension for over 10 years. The DC more frequent among patients with hypertension were "reduced flexibility of the articulations" (93.7%), "excess weight" (85.3%), "it does not carry out physical activities in the leisure time" (83.9 %) and "it verbalizes preference for activities with little physical exercise" (83.9%). Of total DC evaluated, only five were statistically significant. The RF more frequent were "lack of resources (money, time, place, security and equipment) for the physical exercise" (87.45%), "defective knowledge on the benefits that the physical activity brings to the health and / or on the consequences of the sedentary life style" (78.6%) and "lack of social support for the practice of physical exercise" (76.8%). A total of 11 RF evaluated, seven had a significant association with the diagnosis SL. The prevalence of the diagnosis in question was 55.8%. The DC "chooses routines without physical exercises" was the main characteristic for this diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 100% and a high specificity value (84.13%). Three defining characteristics were not statistically significant from the analysis of likelihood ratios and diagnostic odds ratio: "excess weight", "reduced flexibility of the articulations" and "reduced muscular strength." The RF "lack of motivation for practicing physical exercise" and "lack of interest in exercising" had the highest prevalence ratios (PR = 5.358). It was found in this study that most of these new elements identified in the review of Guedes (2011) are relevant to the accurate identification of diagnosis SL in people with hypertension. Thus, it is expected that this information can contribute to efficient and systematic nursing practice, with an emphasis on health promotion for people with hypertension.
