This population was 19 (55.88%) females versus 15 (44.12%) males, so the sex ratio was 1.27, so females were in the majority. In both groups of 34 sera, hypertensive patients, females were 10 (58.82%) versus 9 (52.9%) in normotensive females. The male population was dominated by normotensives who represented 8 (47.1%) against 7 (41.2%) of hypertensives, so the univariate analysis done between sex and in relation to our two populations (hypertensives and normotensives) had for COR = 0.78; 95%CI: (0.20-3.03), (p= 0.73) not significant. These proportions may support a finding observed in medical consultations with a high presence of women. In this study, alcohol and tobacco consumption were observed in each group, but alcohol predominated in the hypertensive group 7 (41.2%) versus 1 (5.9%) in the normotensive group). Univariate analysis showed alcohol to be a risk factor associated with hypertension, with COR = 11.2; 95%CI: (1.19-105.1), (p= 0.03) *, highly significant. Finally, medical history was more present in all hypertensive populations and not observable in the normotensive population, so the univariate analysis had COR = 1125; 95% CI: (22.99-652), (p<0.0005) *.
