UNASSIGNED: Arterial @entity101 is a leading risk factor for @entity65 and @entity64 . This study aimed to assess the predictors of uncontrolled systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) in Lebanon among treated @entity101 individuals. The authors included 562 @entity1 40  years and older. The potential predictors included sociodemographic characteristics, self-reported health information, and medication adherence. Prevalence of uncontrolled systolic and diastolic BP reached 43.1% and 24.9%, respectively. Independent predictors of uncontrolled systolic BP were older age, male sex, and low and medium medication adherence level. Predictors of uncontrolled diastolic BP were younger age, @entity28 , and low medication adherence level. Married individuals and @entity1 taking statins had better diastolic BP control. Uncontrolled BP is a major public health problem in Lebanon. The authors identified low adherence as a major modifiable risk factor for systolic and diastolic BP control and @entity28 as a major modifiable  risk factor for diastolic BP control.
