Modifiable risk factors included were diabetes mellitus, excess dietary salt, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, socioeconomic status, stress, lake of fruits intake, and sleep deprivation. Binary logistic regression was applied to find the association between risk factors and hypertension with 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Gender wise distribution revealed 55.6% males and 44.4% females. Out of 360 subjects 36.1% had diabetes, 17.2% had obesity, 56.4% had sedentary lifestyle, 42.5% had habit of excessive salt use, 61.7% had inadequate use of fruits and 36.9% had inadequate sleep.
