Résumé
"The scope of this study was to identify the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension among adolescent students (aged 17-19 years) in the third and final year of high school in state schools in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, and to investigate associations between systemic ar- terial hypertension and obesity and physical ac- tivity levels. Data on arterial pressure, body mass index and physical activity were gathered. The analysis included 854 individuals. Descriptive sta- tistical analysis was applied to the sample, along with a Poisson regression model to determine the impact of the variables on the prevalence of sys- temic arterial hypertension. The prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension was 19.4%. Male sex, overweight and obesity presented significant positive associations with systemic arterial hy- pertension (p < 0.05), while physical activity was not shown to be significantly associated with sys- temic arterial hypertension (p > 0.05). The na- ture of these relationships should be interpreted in the light of reflection and not of passive label- ing based on hegemonic concepts."
