Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Arterial Hypertension prevalence in urban areas of Cianorte city, state of Paraná, Brazil. A cross-sectional survey was carried out from March to June in a representative sample of 411 adults aged from 20 to 69. In order to collect data and blood pressure measure, a household survey was performed, using two questionnaires: a household and an individual one. The criterion used for the definition was Joint National Committee – IV – 1988 (blood pressure ≥ 140/90mmHg).
