Abstract: A community-based case control study was conducted to determine the association between hypertension and factors related to lifestyle in Phuttamonthon District, Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand. The randomly selected sample comprised 115 females aged 40 years and over who were diagnosed as hypertensive (BP>140/90 mmHg). The controls were the randomly selected 109 females in the same age range with normal blood pressure (BP<140/90 mmHg). Data collection was carried out during January 15 and February 14, 2004. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information that was required for the objective determination in this study. The results of the study indicated that the most significant risk factor of hypertension in the study was obesity (OR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.62-3.63). It was confirmed that diabetes was also a risk factor of hypertension (OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.08-5.43). When obesity and diabetes were combined, the risk to develop hypertension was elevated (OR = 4.10, 95% CI = 1.17-15.72). It was also found that eating habits (additional salty seasoning use) was significantly associated with hypertension (p = 0.038). There was no significant association between hypertension and high cholesterol, salty food consumption, pattern of physical activity, stress management, knowledge and perception (p = 0.158, 0.502, 0.243, 0.50, 0.392 and 0.740, respectively). According to the results of this study, several measures can be identified to minimize the risk of hypertension. Intervention programs should focus on controlling body weight. Furthermore, behavioral modification of eating habits relating to sodium use should focus on reducing the use of additional salty seasoning
