From different dimensions, the hypertensive patients got the highest score in the knowledge of their lifestyle,while they got the lowest score in their knowledge for complication.The average score of young and middle-aged hypertensive patients on treatment compliance was (71.53±9.87).From different dimensions,the hypertensive patients got the highest score in medication adherence,while they got the lowest score in exercise and pressure-relieving compliance.It showed that medication and drug compliance knowledge of middle-aged hypertensive patients was closely associated with treatment compliance(r=0.648, P<0.001)).
