INTRODUCTION: The process of senescence is characterized by an increased prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases, especially hypertension and metabolic syndrome are serious public health problems, with low control rates at advanced ages. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension, metabolic syndrome and associated factors among elderly members of the Family Health Strategy of Viçosa, MG. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of probabilistic sample elderly aged 60 years, of both sexes (n = 402). In the first analysis, it was used as the dependent variable hypertension. Independent variables: demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, health perception and morbidity. To examine the associations between the dependent variable and the risk factors we used the chi-square test for linear trend. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the Poisson regression robust. In the second analysis, the dependent variable was metabolic syndrome and biochemical variables were independent. To verify the associations was used chi-square for linear trend. To evaluate the difference between the means test was used teo test mann whitney. RESULTS: The response rate was 100%. The prevalence of hypertension was 75.37% for the sample. After adjustment for potential confounders for females were associated with hypertension age, BMI, diabetes mellitus and self perceived health, in males the waist circumference changes, diabetes mellitus, heredity and self perception Negative health. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 60.95% for the sample. After adjusting for possible confounding variables were associated with the metabolic syndrome in both sexes: the presence of diabetes and hypertension, self negative perception of health, overweight, changed WHR, waist circumference changes, elevated triglycerides, VLDL-C and glucose and low levels of HDL-C. CONCLUSIONS:Three-quarters of them were hypertension and more than half of the sample had metabolic syndrome, similar to that found in the population. Factors amenable to intervention as overweight and diabetes were associated with hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
