Background and purpose: Hypertension is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that is common in the elderly. Self-esteem is also one of the psychological factors that affects the physical and mental health of the elderly. Lifestyle can also affect both factors of hypertension and self-esteem. However، the relationship between lifestyle and self-esteem in elderly people with hypertension has been less studied.
