title: Sedentary lifestyle in individuals with hypertension.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to identify the prevalence of nursing diagnosis Sedentary lifestyle (SL) and to analyze its association with clinical indicators (CI) and related factors (RF) in patients with hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  cross-sectional study with 285 patients with hypertension at a reference center for outpatient care in Northeastern Brazil. To collect data it was used an instrument based on operational defi nitions of the CI and RF previously validated. Four nurses rated SL as present or absent. To evaluate the association between CI and RF with the presence of SL it was applied the chi-square test. The prevalence ratio and confi dence interval was calculated to verify the magnitude of the effect between RF and SL.
  
  
  RESULTS
  SL was identifi ed in 55.8% of the sample. Five IC and six RF showed a signifi cant association with SL.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  the study identifi es main indicators for inference of SL as well as their possible causal factors among people with hypertension.
