Preliminary Justification |
: |
Hypertension is a leading metabolic risk factor of NCDs and attributed to 19% of global deaths. It is also a global public health challenge due to its high prevalence (one in three adults) and associated risk of stroke and CVDs. Urgent strategies are needed to control hypertension problem because of increasing prevalence and a high proportion of uncontrolled hypertensive patients. Lifestyle modification is the essential part of preventive management of hypertension and recommended as initial therapy in stage 1 hypertension, and as adjunctive therapy to lower BP. Also called non-pharmacological approach which includes weight loss, reduced sodium intake, increased physical activity, limited alcohol consumption and healthy eating habits. In hypertensive individuals with medication-controlled BP, lifestyle modification may facilitate drug step-down and drug withdrawal in highly motivated individuals who achieve and maintain lifestyle changes. This study will describe current lifestyle behaviors and facilitators and barriers in adoption to healthy lifestyle among hypertensive patients. |
