ABSTRACT
This study aims to describe the profile of hypertensive and diabetic patients from three primary health units in the city of Pelotas, southern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, that are registered in the Ministry of Health's HiperDia system. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. A form based on the registration form of the HiperDia system was used as a research instrument. This system provides important information about the population served. The collected data were entered into the Epi-Info 6.04 computer program and analyzed in the STATA 9.0 software. The subjects of the study are predominantly female, aged above 50 years. Predominant risk factors are overweight, sedentary lifestyle, heredity and chronic cardiovascular complications. We concluded that the profile of the subjects of the study is similar to that of SisHiperDia's national database.
