RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To associate anthropometric measures with arterial hypertension and develop a mathematical model to estimate this probability. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 3,445 adults of both sexes, between 18 and 60 years of age. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHR), waist circumference (HC), in addition age and sex were assessed. Blood pressure (BP) was measured and classified according to World Health Organization (WHO) and Brazilian Society of Hypertension (SBH) recommendations, using frequency analyses, correlation and logistic regression between variables, with p < 0.05. RESULTS: Males were twice as likely as woman to have hypertension, and for each year of life, the chance of hypertension increased 1.04 times. Odds ratio of hypertension in overweight individual increased two times, and in obese subjects, four times. CONCLUSION: Changes in body composition with advancing age, especially in men, were associated with hypertension, and assessment of these changes was relevant in the identification of this disease.

OBJETIVO: Associar medidas antropométricas com hipertensão arterial e desenvolver modelo matemático para estimar essa probabilidade. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 3.445 adultos de ambos os sexos entre 18 e 60 anos. Avaliaram-se o índice de massa corporal (IMC), razão cintura estatura (RCE), perímetro da cintura (PC), além da idade e sexo. A pressão arterial foi avaliada e classificada segundo recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e da Sociedade Brasileira de Hipertensão (SBH). Utilizaram-se análise de frequência de casos, correlação e regressão logística entre as variáveis, com p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Os homens apresentaram duas vezes mais chances de hipertensão que as mulheres, e, para cada ano de vida, essa chance aumenta em 1,04 vez. As chances de hipertensão dos considerados com sobrepeso foram de quase duas vezes e, nos obesos, quadriplicavam. CONCLUSÃO: Alterações da composição corporal com o avanço da idade, principalmente nos homens, associaram-se com hipertensão, sendo sua avaliação relevante na identificação dessa doença.
