A sample of 300 (150 cases and 150 controls) were selected using purposive sampling from Aziz Bhatti shaheed Hospital Gujrat, Pakistan. Data collected by interviewing the patients using well-designed questionnaire and checked their BP where cases considered as hypertension patients with (BP: ≥140/90) and healthy controls (BP: 120/80). High prevalence of hypertension is observed in males (54.7%) as compared to females (45.3%). Results also revealed that BMI, family income, age, extra salt intake and stress were the significant risk factors of hypertension in current study.
