ABSTRACT
Objective: to establish the epidemiological profile of uncontrolled hypertensive patients attending the Family Medicine Unit (umf) no. 33, of the Mexican Social Security Institute (imss), in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Methods: observational and descriptive study, as a survey. 245 hypertensive patients were interviewed; blood pressure was taken in two occasions with a 15 minute interval.
Results: 58% of the participants had lack of control of blood pressure; 86% were overweight and obesity; smoking habit 7%. 87% followed a high sodium diet and 53% were sedentary. 70% had information about the seriousness of the disease; 11% was a member of a self-help group of overweight, diabetes and hypertension (Sodhi). Monotherapy prevailed in the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension patients, in contrast to combination therapies.
Conclusions: the unsuitable control of patients is a result of low efficiency in health care. It is necessary that all patients without control or have a risk factor that would prevent his good control are referred to self-help groups.
