Introduction: The development of hypertension is associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, and its treatment consists of changes in lifestyle and the use of pharmacological remedies. However, the use of the latter in high doses causes health problems, while the regular practice of physical activities (PA) has a beneficial effect in the control of arterial pressure. Objective: To find correlations between PA indicators and the use of antihypertensive drugs in users of the Unified Health System. Methods: Participants were hypertensive adults, aged ≥40 years, who reside in Florianópolis and are users of Basic Health Units. Participants were queried on the amount of medication used and the level of PA practiced. Results: A total of 112 participants were interviewed (64 ± 0.85 years). A significant correlation between drug use and the practice of PA was identified only in the elderly. Conclusion: Regular practice of PA with a higher weekly volume seems to be related to the lower use of antihypertensive medications in the elderly.
