Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out on 200 patients diagnosed with hypertension at a single unit of a tertiary care hospital. WHO-QOL BREF questionnaire scores were filled in the CRF.
Results: Quality of Life was better in female Hypertensive patients as compared to males.
Conclusion: Quality of Life must be evaluated for Hypertensive patients so as to identify and improve affected domains which may help in controlling Blood Pressure.
