High blood pressure (HBP) is considered a chronic disease with great impact on public health as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which in 2017 was the main cause of mortality in the world, affecting the population over 50 years of age. The presence of HT can be associated with various factors such as sex, age, lifestyle, among others. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of self-reported hypertension and associated factors in the older adult prison population in Peru. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study of secondary analysis of the First National Penitentiary Census 2016. A univariate statistical analysis with absolute frequencies and relative frequencies, a bivariate statistical analysis using Chi square and a multivariate statistical analysis where the prevalence ratio (RP) was managed. with crude model and adjusted with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and Poisson generalized linear model considering p <0.05 as significant. Results: Only 2,972 records were analyzed where the prevalence of self-reporting HT was 28.4% (27.8% in men and 39.6% in women, p = 0.01), higher in the group of 80 to 89 years (37.5%, p <0.001). The factors associated with the self-report of HT were comorbidity (p <0.001) and disability (p <0.001) apart from sociodemographic factors such as sex (p = 0.001) and age group (p = 0.044). Conclusions: A high prevalence of self-reporting hypertension was found in the older adult prison population of the female sex, as well as those in the age group between 80 and 89 years for 2016; There was a strong association with sex, age group, comorbidities, disability, and alcohol consumption.
