[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 5R0xnLY0. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Our aim was to quantify the association between hypertension and four well-known cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, dyslipidemia, high blood glucose, smoking) and to determine the extent of their combinations in hypertensive subjects in an adult population in Guadeloupe (FWI). A case-control study was conducted in 1999. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of hypertension according to cardiovascular risk factors were calculated by a logistic regression model. In all, 4210 subjects were included in the study : 2105 hypertensives and 2105 age and sex matched non-hypertensive controls. In the hypertensives, obesity (30%) was the most frequent risk factor followed by dyslipidemia (23.2%), current smoking (11.5%) and high blood glucose (8.2%). But, prevalence of current smokers was higher in normotensives (13.9 vs. 11.5%, p=2) was higher in hypertensives than in controls (55.5 vs. 6.5%, p
