This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective. To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with hypertension in adults from Senador Canedo, Goiás, Brazil, in the year 2016. Methods. Cross-sectional study, with three-stage cluster sampling. A questionnaire was applied and measurements of weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure and total cholesterol levels were performed. Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results. Of the 709 participants, the prevalence of hypertension was 23.6% (95%CI 19.3;28.6). The associated factors were sedentarism (PR=1.7 95%CI% 1.1;2.5); increased waist circumference (PR=5.9 95%CI 3.6;9.6); hypercholesterolemia (PR=2.6 95%CI 1.3;5.2); and age ≥60 years (PR=2.9 95%CI 1.3;6.2). Conclusion. The prevalence of hypertension was lower than that described for Brazil in 2013. Physical inactivity, large weight circumference and age were factors associated with hypertension.
RESUMO
Objetivo. Estimar a prevalência e fatores associados à hipertensão em adultos de Senador Canedo, Goiás, Brasil, no ano de 2016. Métodos. Inquérito transversal, de base populacional, com amostragem por conglomerados em três estágios. Foi aplicado questionário e realizadas aferições de peso, altura, circunferência da cintura, pressão arterial e dosagem do colesterol total. Empregou-se regressão de Poisson para estimar razões de prevalências (RP) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Resultados. Nos 709 participantes, a prevalência de hipertensão foi de 23,6% (IC95% 19,3;28,6). Os fatores associados foram inativos no lazer (RP=1,7 IC95% 1,1;2,5); circunferência de cintura aumentada (RP=5,9 IC95% 3,6;9,6); hipercolesterolemia (RP=2,6 IC95% 1,3;5,2); e idade ≥60 anos (RP=2,9 IC95% 1,3;6,2). Conclusão. A prevalência de hipertensão foi inferior à descrita para o Brasil em 2013. Inatividade física, acúmulo de gordura abdominal e idade foram fatores associados à hipertensão.
