Introdução. Hypertension is the most prevalent chronic condition in primary care and the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular death worldwide. However, information about the clinical and humanistic profile of individuals with hypertension treated in a municipality in southern Espírito Santo, Brazil, is limited. Objective. To characterize the clinical and humanistic profile of patients with Arterial Hypertension within the healthcare network of a municipality in southern Espírito Santo. Method. A descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach conducted between January 2022 and July 2022 in the municipality of Alegre-ES. Study participants were individuals over 18 years of age, diagnosed with hypertension, and using at least one medication for hypertension. Data collection was performed using a structured form created by the author. Sociodemographic data, anthropometric profile, lifestyle, clinical profile, and pharmacotherapeutic profile were collected. Adherence to pharmacotherapy, knowledge about hypertension, overall quality of life, and quality of life related to hypertension were assessed using validated questionnaires. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (CAAE: 13586319.6.0000.8151). Data were presented using descriptive statistics. Results: The study included 129 participants, of whom 74.41% (n=96) were women, with an average age of 59.83 ± 11.15 years, married (58.13%; n=75), self-identified as non-white (73.64%; n=95), did not engage in physical activity (75.2%; n=97), denied alcohol consumption (80.6%; n=104) and nicotine use (60.5%; n=78), and reported having two or more health conditions (69.76%; n=90). Women had an average weight of 75.16 ± 14.24 kg, and men had an average weight of 77.86 ± 13.79 kg. In clinical data, the lipid profile showed that 47.29% (n=61) had total cholesterol and 48.84% (n=63) had triglycerides above recommended levels. Regarding blood pressure, 34.89% (n=45) had systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg, and 25.58% (n=33) had diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg. The majority were on polypharmacy (58.91%; n=76), and treatment adherence was considered high in 86.82% (n=123) of evaluated patients. Furthermore, 50.38% (n=65) had good knowledge about hypertension, and 68.22% (n=88) stated that hypertension does not influence their quality of life. Conclusion. Most participants exhibited clinical profiles in line with guidelines and clinical protocols, as well as positive results for the humanistic profile, potentially contributing to future studies.
