The study investigated the association of anthropometric and hemodynamic variables with the presence of arterial hypertension in sedentary individuals. A total of 3,168 volunteers of both sexes (1,189 men and 1,979 women) who started a gym participated in the study. Body mass, height, waist circumference (WC) and hips, skinfolds, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were measured, and the waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-height ratio were calculated, mean arterial pressure and body mass index (BMI). To verify the association between variables and arterial hypertension, binary logistic regression (crude and adjusted) was used. In the adjusted analysis for systolic hypertension, an association was observed with weight, height, fat mass, age group, WHR and diastolic hypertension. Individuals over 40 were 2.5 times more likely to have systolic hypertension than those aged 18 to 29, and subjects with greater body mass and diastolic hypertension were 1.1 and 14.9 more likely to develop systolic hypertension. While in the adjusted analysis for diastolic hypertension, associations were observed with age, weight, HR, BMI and systolic hypertension. And individuals aged 30 to 39 years with systolic hypertension were 1.6 and 14.2 more likely to have diastolic hypertension. It is concluded that anthropometric and hemodynamic variables are associated with the presence of isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension in sedentary people, and that older individuals may be more likely to have hypertension compared to younger ones.
