The study had as purpose determining the relationship between the style of life and hypertension in university professors of the Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú (National University of the Center of the Peru -Huancayo) during 2018, a correlational cross-sectional study was carried out for this purpose, considering a population of 644 teachers from which a sample of 61 teachers who had pre-hypertension or hypertension was chosen.

Among the results, it is highlighted that 18% have a dangerous lifestyle and 31.1% of the teachers have high blood pressure, it was also found an inverse relationship between lifestyle in general and hypertension (Spearman correlation coefficient = - 0.285 and p value = 0.026); this indicates that lifestyle improvement in general reduces the prevalence of arterial hypertension in teachers
