Abstract: 

This The Framingham Heart Study is a prospective longitudinal cohort study that began in 1948 with the enrollment of 5209 men. Women who were free of cardiovascular disease and between the ages of 28 and 62 years. As the largest and oldest cohort study ever produced, it has completed 70 years since its first data collection and has contributed in many ways to the scientific and academic community. The data produced by the FSH produced studies that proved the influence of some risk factors to predict the onset of illness, morbidity and mortality. Based on what was elucidated about the studies published by the FHS group, this systematic review aims to analyze and present the most relevant data about systemic arterial hypertension and its problems. The search for scientific articles on the proposed theme was made from the last 10 years of publications, taking into consideration the research terms "hypertension", "hypertension" and "blood pressure". No text will be discarded as it is believed to be important for understanding.
