The aim of this work is to analyse the probability of cardiovascular morbi-mortality of 771 hypertensive patients in relation of age. Material and methods: 771 patients diagnosed of High Blood Pressure (HBP), began a program of therapeutic intervention from 1986 until 1996, now we can analyse a minimum of three years of follow up, and a maximum of 13 years. The 44% are male and 66% female, the mean age is 57.14⫾13.99, the systolic blood pressure at the beginning was 169.6⫾28.19, at the end of follow up was 153.25⫾25, the diastolic blood pressure was 103.65⫾13.97 and 92.2⫾13.71 mm. Hg respectively. 60% of people were controlled following the criteria of JNC. We analysed 76 cardiovascular events during this time. The ages at the moment of the event the time in the program and the years of history of HBP were highly significant between both groups. Using the survival analysis for the age at the moment of the cardiovascular event or at the end of follow up, we can observe the mean of survival time at 80.37 years, the percentile 50 is 80.83 years, and the percentile 75 is at 75.34 years. Conclusions: We can conclude that the people in our series had a very high probability of survival at 75 and 80 years. We assume that it is very important a good control of HBP minimum until the 80.
