Results: A total of 271 patients visiting the hospital’s outpatient department matched the inclusion criteria of this study. Among them there were 69.3% (n=188) were males and 30.6% (n=83) females. Around 83% patients were married, while the rest were unmarried or divorced. Patients in our study had age range of 38-84 years with mean age of 49.5 + 11.7 years. Approximately 52.7% (n=143) patients were addicted to smoking, 15.4% (n=42) patients were addicted to alcohol. Our study showed that 47.6% (n=129) hypertensive patients were highly compliant to treatment, whereas 20.6% (n=56) were moderately compliant and 31.7% (n=86) patients were not compliant to the treatment. Only 39.4% of the patients were carrying out lifestyle modifications along with antihypertensive treatment. Conclusion: Compliance to antihypertensive therapy is of prime importance to decrease morbidity and mortality as complication to hypertension. Factors associated with non-compliance to antihypertensive therapy should be studied and possible interventions should be taken to increase adherence." @default.
