A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with the aim of characterising older adults with hypertension attending two family medicine practices within Basic Working Group No. 1 at the José Martí Polyclinic in the municipality of Santiago de Cuba during the period from January to December 2016. The study population consisted of 201 older adults diagnosed with hypertension who met the selection criteria. A predominance of patients with mild hypertension was found (60.2%), with 22.4% aged between 60 and 64 years, the majority of whom (65.2%) were female. The majority of these patients had a family history of hypertension and stress as associated risk factors (80.1% and 56.2% respectively). Among the associated acute events, hypertensive urgency and/or emergency was the most frequent (88.6%), and 54.2% of them received combination therapy. The results were tabulated and presented in statistical tables.
