Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive-comparative study, 385 people (183 patients with a history of hypertension and 202 healthy people), who reffered to Bandar-e-Lengeh health centers in year 1398, were selected using a combined sampling method as the study sample. The data collection tool was a questionnaire with three parts including demographic information and disease history, clinical examinations, and LSQ lifestyle questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software and univariate and multivariate logistic regression. A P-Value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The results showed that the mean age in the group with hypertension was 55.30±13.16 years and in the healthy group it was 49.23±12.69 years. Among the life style dimensions, psychological health (R = 0.96 and P-Value <0.05) and avoiding the use of drugs and narcotics (R = 0.92 and 0.05).
