What is the quality of life in hypertensive university professors during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The majority of hypertensive university professors maintained average to very high quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most hypertensive professors reported preserved quality of life amid pandemic stress; hypothesis-generating for resilience factors but requires longitudinal validation before informing care.
