Abstract

Background

Diseases induced by lifestyle account for a high rate of disabilities. Thus, the present research aimed to compare the lifestyles of women affected by blood hypertension and healthy women.

Objective and Method

In this comparative study, 420 women referred to Bandar Abbas healthcare centers were selected through a mixed method (clustered and systematic randomized) and were divided into two groups including the healthy (n = 210) and hypertension groups (n = 210). The standardized Life-Style Questionnaire (LSQ) was used for data collection. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 19. Descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (chi-square test, independent-samples t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient) statistics were used to analyze the data.

Results

The significance level was set at p ˂ 0.05. The mean age of the hypertension group was 45.65 ± 9.61 years old, while for the healthy group it was 44.68 ± 8.70 years old. In the former group, the strongest correlation belonged to the mental health dimensions (r = 0.709, p ˂ 0.001) and spiritual health (r = 0.660, p ˂ 0.001).

Conclusion

The results of the present study revealed that raising public awareness helps to recognize risk factors and correct lifestyles, and planning to educate people and instructing them on how to manage mental pressures can reduce the pressure induced by diseases such as hypertension.
