This study revealed that the prevalence of lifestyle modification practices (LMP) was low among hypertensive patients. Lifestyle modification is not one-stop practical, but continuous proper awareness creation, counseling, and health education and health promotion are needed to scale up healthy behavior in patients with hypertension to create a good lifestyle.
