INTRODUCTION: @entity65 and related risk factors suppose a challenge to public health due to the mortality and health costs involved. This study has aimed to assess the blood pressure control in a population cohort and to identify the factors associated with poor control. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cardiovascular health examination was carried out in a random sample of 4013 individuals aged 15 years and above who were living in Castilla y Leon in 2004. The study included the medical history, physical exam and blood tests. A new health study was performed in 2009, including 2954 @entity1 from the initial sample, 1306 of whom were @entity1 with @entity101 . Strict blood pressure control was defined as <140/90mmHg. Bivariate analysis was performed and odds ratio was calculated by a regression logistic model. RESULTS: Blood pressure levels were above the established levels in 55.9%, without differences between @entity1 and @entity1 . The regression model showed that @entity6 , @entity28 , smoking habit and previous systolic blood pressure values, with odds ratio of 3.87, 1.58, 1.49 and 1.13 per 5mmHg, respectively, are independently associated with uncontrolled blood pressure. Age did not show statistical significance. CONCLUSION: More than half of the @entity1 with @entity101 are not well controlled. This study provides information about the characteristics of the @entity1 with poor control of @entity101 in Castilla y Le  n, which will allow policy makers to develop new primary and secondary prevention activities.
