Hypertension is a condition in which a person's blood pressure is ≥140 mmHg (systolic) and/or ≥ 90 mmHg (diastolic). Hypertension is called the silent killer because treatment is often too late. Management of hypertension includes non-pharmacological therapy and pharmacological therapy. Non-pharmacological therapy in the form of lifestyle modification includes dietary patterns, physical activity, smoking bans and alcohol consumption restrictions. This study uses a type of quantitative research using a one-group pre-test post-test design to design a pre-exprimental research.
