ABSTRACT
A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in 216 patients attending the outpatient department of "Sominé Dolo" Hospital in the region of Mopti (Mali) with high pressure values, from January to December 2009, in order to characterize them clinically and epidemiologically. Among the analyzed variates were age, sex, activities, ethnicity and type of hypertension. The aforementioned disease (mainly moderate) prevailed in mature adults and females, without ethnic differences related to the condition, although the values were similar to those reported in high prevalence regions, so that it was advisable to carry out measures for prevention and rehabilitation of hipertensive individuals in the territory.REFERENCES
