A total of 469 participants were recruited. This was a facility based cross sectional survey. The participants were required to give some information about them and also answer several questions which were used to estimate the prevalence and risks factors that are associated with hypertension. Blood pressure will also be measured during the interviews. Data was analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 27. Data was sorted to avoid inconsistencies before analysis. Descriptive statistics including: frequencies and proportions were used to summarize the demographic characteristics of the respondents. Chi-square test was applied to assess association between socio-demographic characteristics and hypertensive status. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors for hypertension. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs), with their respective 95% confidence interval (95% CI), were estimated for the factors included in the model. The level of statistical significance will be set at 5%. The key findings of this study of which the prevalence of hypertension among the study participants was 7%. Regression modeling showed that the socio-demographic and lifestyle factors associated with hypertension were smoking (aOR = 0.000), fruit intake (aOR=0.007), salt intake (aOR=0.000) and moderate intense exercising (aOR=0.048).
