Resumen
Behavioural and multifactorial factors such as odontological and physical activity habits are controlling factors in
hypertension. The aim of the present study was to analyze differences in behavioral, odontological and physical
activity patterns of hypertense and control population. Fifty participants with hypertension (57.5±13.6 years)
and 100 participants as control group with no hypertension disease (48.9±7.9 years) were interviewed via online
questionnaire. Multifactorial items in oral behavioral, health habits and physical activity profile were analyzed
by a compendium of questionnaires. Result showed how control group showed significantly lower age, weight,
body mass index, TV hours per day, gastritis or heartburn, dental sensibility, and sick days last year, and
significantly higher level of academic education, quality of sleep and daily toothbrushing than hypertension
group. In conclusion our results showed that hypertense patients presented higher levels of overweight, poor
sleep quality and sedentary behaviors than control participants. In addition, hypertense patients also presented
poor odontological health, showing higher indices of gastritis, dental sensibility, and sick days per year. Both
groups presented a low physical activity pattern. This information allows to better understand of a multifactorial
disease, as well to the creation of protocols for intervention and prevention of this disease at the behavioral level
and lifestyle
