Regulation of these unhealthy behaviours plays a crucial role in blood pressure control among individuals on hypertensive treatment, especially those suffering from uncontrolled hypertension. Hence, the present study aims at identifying the unhealthy behaviours associated with uncontrolled hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We did a secondary data analysis of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) -5 data (2019\u20132021). Among those taking prescribed medication to lower blood pressure levels, SBP \u2265140 mm Hg or DBP \u226590 mm Hg were considered uncontrolled hypertension. The other socio-demographic variables and unhealthy behaviours were used as independent variables for analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The proportion of uncontrolled hypertension was 49\u00b75% (95% CI: 45\u00b75\u201353\u00b74) and 36\u00b78% (95% CI: 35.8\u201337.8) among males and females, respectively.

In contrast, tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, coverage by Health insurance, presence of Diabetes, heart disease, usage of clean fuel, and high BMI (\u226530kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) were the behavioural characteristics significantly associated with uncontrolled hypertension among females. Regression results portrayed that higher age groups (45 and above) have found higher odds for men (OR: 7.6, CI: 4.6\u201312.3) and women (OR: 6.08, CI: 4.0\u20136.0) compared with 30 years and below age groups.
