A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 268 families with this disease, the epidemiological profile included seven dimensions, sociodemographic, economic, family functionality, life cycle, family roles, health and use of services. The mean age of the families was 49.09 (SD: 15.57) years; 47.0% of the families had paid economic activity, 65.0% were functional, 52.4% were in the retirement and death stages, 43.1% presented obesity, in 50.0% the predominant role of the hypertensive patient was assumed by the mother, and the average annual number of family medicine consultations was 10.37 (SD: 4.31).
