title: [Risk factors for arterial hypertension].
abstract: High blood pressure is still a research topic, since it has been demonstrated that 90% of those older than 45 years develop primary or essential hypertension and somewhat less than 10% develop secondary hypertension. Therefore, it is relevant to know the traditional, modifiable or not, risk factors involved in this disease. Nursing care, committed with its philosophy of learning always to be able to serve better, has kept at the avant-grade in the care and knowledge required for each risk factor to be able to interact with the population and play a decisive role in the noble task of promoting health.
