    Hypertension [HTA] is a persistent elevation of one or two blood pressures, systolic or diastolic. The limits for systolic is equal to or greater than 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure equal to or greater than 90 mmHg. The atherogenic risk is presented with a frequency between 2 and 4 times higher in hypertensive patients than in normotensive of the same age and sex. The quantity and quality of the plasma lipoproteins is determinative of the development of the atherosclerotic process and its impact on atherogenesis associated with hypertension. Obesity affects health risk, leading to increased morbidity and mortality of individuals who have it. Lon most commonly used indicators of the degree of obesity is the percentage of current from the ideal weight and body mass index. The study group consisted of the faculty and staff of the University of Cuenca with access to medical clinic. The sample consisted of 50 hypertensive patients who conducted a physical examination, laboratory tests and based on the existence of risk factors [age, sex, smoking and physical inactivity], the association between hyperlipidemia, overweight or obesity was established Arterial hypertension. In the study population, 84 percent of pacintes were males and 16 percent female; 70 percent had acceptable blood pressure levels are recorded and no patients with severe hypertension, 66 percent have normal total cholesterol; 97 percent of men with moderate risk ratio HDL-c, while 75 percent of women have desirable values; which leads to that 84 percent have a negative atherogenic index, indicating adequate control of the disease in the medical clinic. While 92 percent do not have the habit of smoking, but 94 percent lead a sedentary life that 80 percent associated with a BMI above the normal value negatively influences the prognosis of enfemedad. We can conclude that hypertension control is a process that must be inplicados health systems and national, regional and international organizations, intersectoral, multidisciplinary collaboration and community participation is also required
