title: [Nursing diagnosis sedentary lifestyle in individuals with hypertension: an analysis of accuracy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Assessing the accuracy of the defining characteristics (DC) of the nursing diagnosis Sedentary Lifestyle (SL) in people with hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional study carried out in a referral center in the outpatient care of people with hypertension and diabetes, with a sample of 285 individuals. The form used in the study was designed from operational definitions constructed for each DC of the diagnosis. Four nurses with training to carry out diagnostic inferences did the clinical assessment for the presence of SL.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The prevalence of SL was 55.8%. Regarding measures of accuracy, the main DC for SL was chooses a daily routine lacking physical exercise, with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 84.13%. Two DC stood out in the logistic regression, namely: reports preference for activities low in physical activity and poor performance in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results allowed identifying the best clinical indicators for SL in hypertensive adults.
