Methods: Therefore, a cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in 400 patients of hypertension, comprising 200 from Jaipur and 200 from Lucknow. Data were obtained via a structured questionnaire to assess demographic features of health, clinical risk factors and hypertension complications. SPSS version XX was used for descriptive statistics, independent t-test, chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance was acknowledged at p < 0.05. Results: Jaipur participants had significantly higher healthy practice score than Lucknow participants (52.4 ± 8.6 vs 48.7 ± 9.4; t = 4.28, p <0.001). Common risk factors included high salt intake (49.5%), physical inactivity (45.8%), obesity (39.8%), diabetes mellitus (35.5%), smoking (31.8%) and poor medication adherence to therapies for 36/8%. The most common complication was coronary artery disease, which was followed by retinopathy and chronic kidney disease. Regarding complications, logistic regression showed that poor healthy practices (AOR = 4.11, 95% CI: 2.44?6.91), poor medication adherence (AOR = 3.27, 95% CI:1.95?5.48), diabetes mellitus (AOR = 2.96, 95% CI:1.78?4.91) and age over60 years (AOR =2.84; %CI %: %1%.72/4&68) were significant predictors of complications in the study sample. Conclusion: Implementing healthy practices is crucial to lowering clinical risk factors and adverse health outcomes related to hypertension. Implications Building on nurse-led interventions, lifestyle counselling and adherence monitoring might have greater impact on patient outcomes.
