BP was
re-checked by using sphygmomanometer periodically
by only one cardiologist. History and physical
examination were done, BP at 140/90 mmHg or higher
either systole or diastole and any person currently
on antihypertensive treatment would be diagnosed
of hypertension (HT)(5,12). Data were analyzed and
presented with frequency and percentage. Pearson
Chi-square tests, Asymptotic Type were used. A
p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.
