Hypertension is associated with several causes of mortality. Physical activity has shown to be an important strategy to prevent and/or attenuate the deleterious effects of the disease. In the state of Amazonas, the prevalence of the disease affects 1/5 of the population. However, there are no reports in the literature of the factors associated with the disease in the population of the state of Amazonas. The objective of this study was to verify the association of the level of physical activity with cardiovascular health indicators in hypertensive patients. In this observational, cross-sectional study, 22 patients diagnosed with systemic arterial hypertension participated. The level of physical activity was measured using a short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-short version), translated and validated for the Brazilian population. The clinical blood pressure and heart rate of patients were evaluated using a monitor (HEM-742, Omron Healthcare, Japan). Data normality was checked by variance analysis (ANOVA One Way), and the Bonferroni Post Hoc test, with statistical significance criteria (p <0.05). The data were analyzed by the SPSS program, version 25.0. checked by the Shapiro-Wilk test and then the One Way ANOVA was applied. No statistical differences were found between PA levels and cardiovascular variables: SBP - sedentary vs Irregularly active vs Active (p= 0.860); DBP - sedentary vs irregularly active vs active (p=0.198), HR - sedentary vs Irregularly active vs Active (p=0.154). The variable SD: sedentary vs Irregularly active vs active, showed statistical difference, being (p=0.040).
