Abstract

Aim: Our cross-sectional study set out to identify characteristics and predictors of hypertension control among adults on drug treatment. The aim was to provide current, actionable evidence of the factors that promote hypertension control and hence, improve health outcomes through reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional, and hospital-based study of 90 eligible, previously diagnosed and currently treated adults (18 years or older) with hypertension at the Medical Outpatients’ Clinic of Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. Controlled hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure
