The prevalence of hypertension was 11.8%, BMI was related to hypertension with P=0.000 where by overweight was 25.1% (n=51) and obesity 22.2% (n=45).Alcohol consumption was related with hypertension P=0.038 and more than half of the study population consumed alcohol 59.6% (n=121).History of hypertension is related to development cardiovascular diseases with P=0.000 where by 25.1% (n=51) had history of hypertension and 66.7% (n=34)were on irregular medication and 8(15.7%) seen a traditional healer for treating hypertension.
