There is a bidirectional association between hypertension and periodontal disease (PD). This study aimed to assess the oral health knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of patients living with hypertension followed up at the Bafoussam Regional Hospital (BRH) and the Dschang Regional Annex Hospital (DRAH).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This cross\u2010sectional study was conducted from February to April 2024 in two tertiary health facilities of the west Cameroon region, targeting hypertensive outpatients or followed up in cardiology and internal medicine who meet the inclusion criteria. Consecutive sampling was used to collect sociodemographic data, past history, and oral health KAP via a face\u2010to\u2010face questionnaire and medical records. The KAP were analyzed using the Essi and Njoya grid. Logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with poor KAP (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009 &lt; 0.05).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 367 people (143 males) with a median age of 62 years (IQR 53\u201070) were recruited. The median duration of hypertension was 5 years (IQR 2\u201010). Almost all participants (91.8%) had poor knowledge, 58.6% had harmful attitudes and 67.6% had inadequate practices.
