Factors associated with blood pressure control in Swedish primary care patients with hypertension: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with blood pressure control in a primary healthcare population with hypertension.

Materials and methods

We used baseline data from a recent Swedish randomized controlled trial where 400 patients diagnosed with hypertension from 10 primary health care centers were included.
