Hypertension is a multicausal disease that, in addition to the biological condition, can also be explained by the socioeconomic contexto and lifestyle of individuals.

The objective was to verify the association between sociodemographic factors, sedentary pattern and excessive alcohol consumption in people with hypertension. Cross-sectional study conducted with 220 hypertensive patients. IPAQ and AUDIT were used for data collection and the SPSS statistical program for data treatment. Prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using a robust Poisson regression model for the standard physical activity outcome and Odds Ratio calculation and 95% confidence intervals with a logistic regression model for the consumption outcome excessive alcohol. The sedentary pattern prevailed in all sections os the IPAQ. At work, the sedentary pattern was prevalent in males and in participants aged ≥ 60 years. At home, the male gender was 16.0% more sedentary, age ≥ 60 years old had 13.0% more sedentary pattern and black race 43.0% more sedentary pattern. There was statistical significance between the higtest risk zone of alcohol and self-declared participants of the non-black race IC( 0.053 – 0.628) and with minimum wage > one, , IC (0.059-0.669). An association was observed between the variables sex, age and race, in the house indicator; and sex and age age, in the work dimension. An association was observed between the non-black race and income> minimum wage and the higest risk areas for acohol, however, there were no significant differences between the other sociodemographic variables investigated.
