Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most important cause of premature death worldwide and problem is growing so rapidly that in 2025 an estimated 1.56 billion adults will be living with hypertension. Hypertension kills nearly 8 million people every year, worldwide and nearly 1.5 million people each year in the south east Asian (SEA) region, approximately one third of the adult population in SEA region has high pressure. Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitude regarding lifestyle modification to prevent hypertension among bank employees. Methods and Material: Survey research design was used. 100 bank employees were included from selected banks of Delhi by convenient sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire and attitude scale were used to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding lifestyle modification to prevent hypertension. Result: The mean knowledge and attitude scores were 14.34 and 13.85. Conclusion: The above findings clearly depict that the study subjects were knowledge deficit regarding lifestyle modifications to prevent hypertension.
