Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries that need urgent strategies to implement interventions. Appropriate lifestyle modification practices are the corner stone of the prevention and control. Objective: To assess lifestyle modification practices and associated factors among hyper tensive patients. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among hyper tensive patients from 1 April to 30 April 2019. Simple random sampling was used to select the study subjects. Data were entered to EpiData 3.1 and expor ted to Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 25.0, for analysis. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of lifestyle modifications among hyper tensive patients. Results: The findings of this study revealed that the level of lifestyle modification practice was 79 (39.5％). This finding is very low, and it has a significant effect on the management of hyper tensive disorders and hyper tension-related acute and chronic complications. Ethnicity, family history of hypertension, and knowledge about hypertension were identified as predictors of lifestyle modification practice. Conclusions: In this study, lifestyle modification practice is low (about 40％), but scientifically, almost all hyper tensive patients on follow-up should practice lifestyle modification modalities.
