The family support variable has a relationship with the lifestyle of people with hypertension (p value = 0.000) and the knowledge of hypertension variable has a relationship with the lifestyle of people with hypertension (p value = 0.000). The results of the coefficient analysis showed that age was 0.041, last education was 0.284, duration of hypertension was 0.573, the results of the last blood pressure examination were 0.271, knowledge of hypertension was 0.000 and family support was 0.000.
