Abstract
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of community based comprehensive lifestyle promotion package on physiological risk factors among adult with hypertension. Methodology: Quantitative approach, true experimental design was adopted in the study. 200 samples in experimental and 198 samples in control group who fullled the inclusion criteria were selected using simple random sampling technique. Physiological risk factors include height, weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure by using calibrated weighing scale and sphygmomanometer. Results: The chi-square analysis showed that there was no statistically signicant difference between the experimental and control group in the pre test. The repeated measures ANOVAF-test for the experimental group regarding weight and BMI was F=18.96 and 20.59 respectively at p<0.001 level which showed statistical difference when compared to F score of control group F=1.90 and 2.01. For the experimental group regarding systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was F=104.96 and 136.89 respectively at p<0.001 level which showed statistical difference when compared to F score of control group F=2.40 and 2.59. Conclusion: The results revealed that the community based comprehensive lifestyle promotion package was effective in reducing the cardio-vascular risk score and thus preventing the cardiovascular diseases hence can be utilized as a step in prevention of cardiovascular risk among adult with hypertension.
