Key result
Hypertension assessment reveals a knowledge-practice gap with only ~46% following a hypertension-specific diet.
Why the study?
Hypertension control is particularly poor in disadvantaged communities, where sustaining lifestyle changes and treatment adherence remains difficult despite generally high awareness.
Cross-Sectional (n=107)
Despite high awareness of hypertension and trust in healthcare, significant knowledge-practice gaps and structural barriers such as low income hinder effective lifestyle modifications in disadvantaged rural communities.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May guide targeted strategies in disadvantaged communities; leaves open causal effects of education on hypertension control.
