With an increase in age, the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in both genders showed a significant increase (P < 0.001). Univariate logistic regression (crude odds ratios, ORs) demonstrated that age over 60 years, smoking, diabetes mellitus, physical inactivity, and the use of salt were the most important factors influencing the presence of uncontrolled hypertension. According to the results of the multivariable logistic regression model, smoking was the most important factor affecting the inability to control hypertension since controlling the effect of other variables triggered the chance of not controlling hypertension in smokers as 2.76 times higher than in non-smokers (adjusted OR: 2.76, 95% confidence interval: 1.05-7.26).

Since using table salt, a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking count as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, necessary prevention and treatment planning are strongly recommended to control modifiable risk factors in this city through public education.
