healthy lifestyle especially walking which proven its benefits in improving HDLc as a result of acquisition of
knowledge regarding healthy behaviors from mass media or from health care providers. These results are in
harmony with a study conducted in Egypt by Weheida et al (2009), who revealed significant improvement in
lipid profile among hypertensive patients at 8 weeks follow walking program for 45minutes/ 3 days weekly, and
justified this improvement by the benefits of walking which increase sense of wellbeing, relieve emotional
tension, and raise the level of HDLc. Other studies conducted in Australia by Burke et al (2007) and in Germany
by Osterbrink and Munzinger (2005) supported the findings of this study. Finally, the main guidelines
recommendation in hypertensive older adults are to maintain the systolic blood pressure not surpass 140 mm Hg
and diastolic blood pressure not over 90 mm Hg. Interventions for hypertensive patients should be designed to
increase adherence to lifestyle modification and antihypertensive medications (Lewis et al., 2007). Healthcare
professionals must not only identify and treat patients with hypertension but also promote a healthy lifestyle and
preventive strategies to decrease the prevalence of hypertension in the general population
