Systemic hypertension (SH) is a disease with high prevalence worldwidely. It is considered one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular morbimortality. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate in individuals aged over 40 years, their level of awareness and control of SH, associated with age group, gender, socioeconomic status, educational level, body mass indexes, treatment with monotherapy or drug association; to compare the blood pressure control with the main related-drug substances; to evaluate the cost- effectiveness ratio among the main antihypertensive drugs and associations and to compare the cost of generic and conventional drugs. Casuistics and Method: In this randomized cross-transversal study, a sample of 738 individuals aged between 40 and 93 years; 345 male (46.7%) and 393 female (53.3%) was evaluated due the greatest prevalence of hypertension from this age. Results: In relation to awareness level, it was observed that 72.9% (IC 95%: 69.5 76.3%) of hypertensives were aware of their condition, predominantly the female with ages between 40-49 years and 50-59 years, and a higher prevalence of awareness among the overweighed . No significant difference of awareness was observed among socioeconomic classes and educational levels. According to blood pressure control, higher prevalence of control was observed in A B social classes than in the others; as also in the higher educational level mainly in the age group of 40-49 years. No significant difference between genders and different body mass indexes (BMI) was observed. According to the number of drugs used, 44.6% of these hypertensives have been using monotheraphy; control pressure was more effective with beta blockers. A total of 41.2% of them were using two drugs association: diuretics and ACE inhibitors, mostly used, and 14.2% were using three or more drugs. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of awareness was observed either in female gender or in the overweighed, while no differences in the socioeconomic groups and educational level were observed. In relation to the control, higher prevalence was observed in AB classes and in higher educational level, while no difference between the genders and in the different BMI groups. When comparing monotherapy with drug association, there was no significant difference in SH control. Cost-effectiveness relationship was lower with monotherapy than with association; being the diuretics mostly cost-effectiveness. Comparing the mean of the cost of conventional drugs in relation to controlled hypertensives or not, it was conclude that an appropriate blood pressure control provides a lower cost of the treatment.
