Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the factors associated with high blood pressure in children and adolescents Maroons. This cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Validated instruments will be used in Brazil to identify associated factors related to lifestyle and the use of biochemical analysis to predict the risk of developing Chronic Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
