Abstract
El estudio 2025 tuvo como propósito identificar los factores relacionados a la hipertensión arterial en los adultos mayores del Ipress I-3 6 de octubre, Belén. Se alcanzó una muestra de 108 adultos mayores mediante un diseño descriptivo-correlacional, no experimental y prospectivo. Los encuestadores administran las encuestas y cuestionarios tras obtener el consentimiento informado. El instrumento obtuvo una validez de 0.804 y una confiabilidad de más de 0.7 en el alfa de Cronbach, evidenciando una alta consistencia interna. Los resultados mostraron que la mayor parte de la población de adultos mayores encuestados presentaba factores de riesgo de hipertensión, sobresaliendo la presencia de antecedentes familiares (65,7%) y hábitos nocivos tales como la ingesta alta de sal (76,9%) y de grasas saturadas (63,9%), sedentarismo (62%), sobrepeso (53,7%), y el consumo de alcohol (40,7%) y tabaco (26,9%). Con respecto a los niveles de hipertensión, predominó la hipertensión leve (50%), seguida de la moderada (38%) y de la severa (12%). El análisis estadístico no mostró asociación significativa solo con antecedentes familiares (p = 0.045) y el consumo de tabaco (p = 0.003). No se encontraron relaciones significativas en otras variables, tales como, sexo, edad, controles médicos, hábitos saludables, ingesta de sal o grasas, actividad física, sobrepeso y consumo de alcohol (p > 0.05) Se concluye que en la población está la severidad de la hipertensión se explica en gran parte por factores de herencia familiar y por el consumo de tabaco.
The 2025 study aimed to determine the factors associated with high blood pressure in older adults at Ipress I-3 October 6, Belén. A sample of 108 older adults was obtained using a descriptive-correlational, non-experimental, prospective design. The surveyors administered the surveys and questionnaires after obtaining informed consent. The instrument obtained a validity of 0.804 and a reliability of more than 0.7 on Cronbach's alpha, demonstrating high internal consistency. The results showed that most of the older adult population surveyed had risk factors for hypertension, with a high prevalence of family history (65.7%) and harmful habits such as high salt intake (76.9%) and saturated fat intake (63.9%), sedentary lifestyle (62%), overweight (53.7%), and alcohol consumption (40.7%) and tobacco use (26.9%). With regard to hypertension levels, mild hypertension predominated (50%), followed by moderate hypertension (38%) and severe hypertension (12%). Statistical analysis showed a significant association only with family history (p = 0.045) and tobacco use (p = 0.003). No significant relationships were found in other variables, such as gender, age, medical checkups, healthy habits, salt or fat intake, physical activity, overweight, and alcohol consumption (p > 0.05). It is concluded that the severity of hypertension in the population is largely explained by family history and tobacco use.
