Objective: Determine the risk factors associated with high blood pressure in adult patients. Materials and methods: Systematic investigations are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations, which are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to its rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of the clinical practice. Results: The scientific articles included in the systematic review on the risk factors associated with hypertension in adults were found in the following databases Lipecs, Lilacs Scielo and Medline, all of them correspond to the type and design of cross-sectional studies. The studies reviewed show that the risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and an inadequate lifestyle. Conclusions: The risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and inadequate lifestyle. Interventions to control high blood pressure are to achieve the maximum reduction in the total long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This process should be based on primary prevention and early detection of all identified reversible risk factors and management. adequate of the associated clinical conditions such as the increase in blood pressure itself.
