“…7 Physical activity (PA) is a cost-effective, practical, natural and effective way of controlling HPT. 2,8 Regular PA is a key component of lifestyle therapy for the primary prevention and treatment of hypertension. 2,8 Studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of exercise on HPT with reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with as much as 5-7 mmHg reductions in those with hypertension.…”

Background: Hypertension (HPT) is a global public health challenge. It predisposes to cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and disability as well as contributing to high death rates. HPT is increasing tremendously in sub-Saharan Africa with HPT-related mortality risk having increased by 25% in less than 10 years in South Africa. Physical activity is a cost-effective way of reducing, controlling and preventing hypertension. The aim of the study was to establish the level of physical activity, and factors associated with physical activity, amongst patients with hypertension, in two community health centres in uMgungundlovu Health District, KwaZulu-Natal, 2018. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional descriptive study with an analytic component was implemented. Data were collected utilising an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Frequency distribution tables and the chi-square test were used in the analysis of data. A p-value less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Results: A total of 374 questionnaires were administered of which 373 were adequately completed, yielding a response rate of 99.7%. The results showed that 39.1% were highly physical active, 32.4% were moderately physical active and 28.4% had low physical activity. Age, marital status, employment status and level of education were significantly associated with physical activity. Major barriers to physical activity included health problems and having no time to exercise. Health-related reasons were reported to be the major motivator towards physical activity. Conclusion: Over a third of the participants presented with high levels of physical activity. Health education should focus on promoting physical activity for HPT clients.

“…In Posbindu PTM activities, members were given counseling about non communicable diseases including hypertension and given special counseling for members suffering from hypertension in detail described hypertension control efforts. According to Alsairafi (2010) the increased risk of physical inactivity in controlling hypertension in our study suggested that general practitioners should be used to prescribe strenuous physical exercise 10 . According to Muhamedhussein (2016) tried to show the level of hypertension and know the risk factors that could explain the high prevalence of hypertension 11 .…”

is a place of community participation for early detection, preventing and controlling hypertension of noncommunicable diseases. Posbindu PTM is one of the promotional and preventive health efforts that is implemented in an integrated, routine, and periodic, and the non-communicable risk factors that are found immediately refer to basic health care facilities. It is necessary to examine the role of Posbindu PTM in controlling hypertension risk factors. The study used a combination method approach with sequential exploratory design. Exploratory design was begun with the main qualitative method to know the knowledge, attitude and behavior of members of Posbindu PTM to hypertension. The results of qualitative and quantitative methods were analyzed to develop the Integrated Health Education Center for Non-communicable Disease/IHEC for NCDs (Posbindu PTM). People feel useful coming to Posbindu PTM, so want to come every month. The active community who came to Posbindu PTM increased their knowledge about Hypertension and non-communicable disease (PTM). The community who actively coming to Posbindu PTM supported the behavior of preventing and controlling of hypertension. Posbindu PTM can play a role in controlling hypertension for active members.

“…Among the study participants, persons who follow sedentary lifestyle (58.16%) were more prone to have uncontrolled blood pressure when compared to persons who follow 9 There was a statistically significant association found between sedentary lifestyle and uncontrolled blood pressure. Similar findings were observed in a study done by Simkhada et al in Nepal.…”

Background: Hypertension is one of the more common non communicable diseases worldwide. There is the need for life style modifications along with the treatment for managing these diseases. But some people may continue with the lifestyle risk factors even after the occurrence of the disease, leading to complications in future. The study was planned with the objectives of identifying the prevailing lifestyle risk factors and association with blood pressure control and identifying the association between the lifestyle risk factors and complications of hypertensive patients in the study area.Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study done in the rural field practice area of a Medical College. Using purposive sampling technique, 300 hypertensive patients attending the rural health training centre were selected as study participant. Data collection was done by structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS 17.Results: Among the study group, males were 54% and females were 46%. The most common life style risk factors was sedentary type physical activity (50.7%), 27% of them added extra salt to their diet, 47.7% of them were current drinkers and 31.7% of them were current smokers. About 53% had controlled hypertension and 47% had uncontrolled hypertension. Physical activity and smoking have statistically significant association with blood pressure control. All the four risk factors like sedentary lifestyle, adding extra salt, drinking and smoking had statistically significant association with complications.Conclusions: Hypertensive patients who tend to continue the lifestyle risk factors are more prone to develop uncontrolled blood pressure which in turn leads to further complications. Thus proper health education, and awareness creation programmes needs to be done for lifestyle modification, as part of intervention.
