Alhalaiqa et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in hypertension (n=312). Lifestyle modification factors was evaluated on Adherence to lifestyle modification factors. Among hypertensive patients in Jordan, adherence to lifestyle modifications was poor, and increased diastolic blood pressure significantly correlated with higher cholesterol (P=0.002) and BMI (P=0.006).
