Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Technological advances was responsible for the change in people's living habits becoming increasingly sedentary and the set of bad habits and poor diet cause a pandemic of overweight and obesity and cardiovascular disease. In promoting health (PH) are given tips and guidelines so that the population has an interest to change to better their lifestyle and made follow-up anthropometric data and BP values. Objective: To analyze the sedentary and the obesity in hypertensive workers FCT/UNESP, demonstrate the importance of guidance on the risk factors, and promote health. Materials and methods: The study included 12 employees of the FCT/UNESP, the presence of physical inactivity and obesity was assessed using anthropometric data (height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist ratio and hip [WHR]), measurement of BP and application of the IPAQ questionnaire, which ranks the level of physical activity. Results: Patients showed Age of 51.33 ± 9.67 years, weight 101.7 ± 20.53 kg, height 1.72 ± 0.09 meters, BMI 34.02 ± 5.07, PAS 123.33 ± 7.78 mmHg, DBP of 88.33 ± 12.67 mmHg, and 66.66% of men and 66.66% women had circumferences above recommended. 16.66% of the population was classified as active and 83.33% as insufficient active. Discussion: Most of the workers involved in the project present their higher measures the level considered normal, and are directly related to the disposal of body fat and are rich factors for the development of various cardiovascular diseases. The PS is extremely important for individuals analyzed for monitoring of anthropometric indices and provide tips on how to have a healthy life, taking care of food and how to practice physical exercises. Conclusion: Most of the individuals are overweight and obese, have hypertension diagnosed and do not perform physical activity sufficiently, which reinforces the importance of PH for these individuals.
