CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction The Philippines is facing one of the most emerging global

issues today and that is Hypertension. Hypertension can lead to more serious illness if left untreated it may lead to stroke, blindness, heart attack, heart failure and kidney failure. Strong research evidence has illustrated conclusively that lifestyle modification are effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular factor Hypertension is the one of common disease in the Philippines in the year 2007, hypertension remained to be first leading cause of morbidity. One out of five adult filipino is hypertensive and not even aware of the condition while 90% of the countrys population has one or more of the risk factor that contribute to high blood pressure these risk factors include smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, dangerously low consumption of fruits and vegetables and hereditary. In preventing hypertension, proper diet, avoid fatty and high cholesterol foods, proper exercise like brisk walking, swimming, aerobics . Strong research evidence has illustrated conclusively that lifestyle modification are effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular factor.

CHAPTER 2 Related Literature Local The Heart of the Matter The Philippine Heart Associations (PHA) decision to conduct a survey, simply dubbed Physician-Related Factors Determining Optimal Blood Pressure Control Among Hypertensive Filipinos, showed some alarming results. According to the PHA Council on Hypertension chairman, Dr. Emma Trinidad, the main goal of the study was to identify and evaluate the significant physician-related factors determining blood pressure control among Filipino hypertension sufferers in Metro Manila. This will be a pilot study and hopefully will progress to become a nationwide survey in the future, she added.

In her presentation Gaps in the Management of Hypertension in the Philippines, during the PHA-Novartis media briefing at the Heart House, Dr. Trinidad pointed out that the burden of cardiovascular diseases as well as prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery disease in the country is rising.

From 1990 to 1997, diseases of the heart and diseases of the vascular system remained to be the first and second leading causes of mortality (death) and morbidity (disability). Hypertension, in particular, has an increasing prevalence of 11 percent in 1992 to 22 percent in 1998, and since then has more or less stabilized at 21 percent in 2007.

CHAPTER 3 Research Methodology This chapter discusses the method of research used, the sample and sampling procedure, the research instrument, data gathering procedure and the statistical treatment of data.

Also the study use Likert Scale it is an ordered,
one-dimensional scale from which respondents choose one option that best aligns with their view.

The survey deals with gathering information about the impact of hypertensive lifestyle management program in Barangay 232 Zone 21. It aims to obtain information about the level of learning gained of all the residence in the Barangay in the said program, as well as the factors affecting the aspects of learning and the significant relationship between the factors and aspects of learning. Sample and Sampling Procedure
