  Objective: To assess the prevalence of arterial hypertension and the risk factors associated with it among adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study developed with 211 adolescent students. The prevalence of arterial hypertension was assessed and its relationship with weight excess, physical activity and capillary glucose was verified. Results: The prevalence of arterial hypertension was 13.7%. No association was found between high blood pressure and weight excess and levels of physical activity. Adolescents with high capillary glucose presented greater chances of developing arterial hypertension. Conclusion: The studied adolescents presented a high prevalence of arterial hypertension. The cases of hypertension were only associated with high capillary glucose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

  Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e fatores de risco associados entre adolescentes. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 211 adolescentes escolares. Foi avaliada a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e verificada a relação desta com o excesso de peso, atividade física e glicemia capilar. Resultados: A prevalência de hipertensão arterial foi de 13,7%. Não foram observadas associações da pressão arterial elevada com o excesso de peso e níveis de atividade física. Os adolescentes com glicemia capilar elevada apresentaram maiores chances de desenvolver a hipertensão arterial. Conclusão: Os adolescentes apresentaram elevada prevalência de hipertensão arterial. Os casos de hipertensão foram associados apenas com a glicemia capilar elevada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
