The study aimed to explore the relationship of healthy lifestyles on hypertension, and then whether lifestyle change could influence hypertension in rural adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 16,454 participants were enrolled from the Henan Rural Cohort study, in China. The healthy lifestyles score (HLS) was concluded by smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet status and body mass index. Associations of HLS and lifestyle change with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were analyzed by generalized linear models, and with hypertension were analyzed by logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline plots.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results from the generalized linear models showed SBP and DBP levels decreased with the HLS increasing (<jats:italic>P<jats:sub>trend<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.01).
