Sedentary lifestyle, a modifiable risk factor, affects a large part of the world's population and contributes significantly to the appearance of obesity and chronic non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, becoming a major global public health problem. With the objective of evaluating the influence of a sedentary lifestyle on the development of high blood pressure in workers of the National Electricity Corporation of Portoviejo, Manabí, during the year 2021, an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective investigation was carried out. The study population was workers of both sexes who had worked in the same job for at least 6 months, divided into two groups: sedentary and non-sedentary. Those with a previous diagnosis of arterial hypertension and incomplete data in the anonymized data matrix were excluded. It was found that 87.3% of the workers were sedentary, especially young and middle-aged adults, being predominant in women, mixed race, married, university students and with work experience of 2 to 10 years. Obesity was an important comorbidity, while smoking and alcoholism were not prevalent in sedentary workers. The majority of diagnosed hypertensive patients were sedentary and classified as having grade 2 arterial hypertension. The need to implement measures to promote healthier work environments at the individual, business and institutional level is highlighted. ; El sedentarismo, un factor de riesgo modificable, afecta a una gran parte de la población mundial y contribuye significativamente a la aparición de obesidad y enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles como la hipertensión arterial, convirtiéndose en un importante problema de salud pública a nivel global.
