This paper examines the association between hypertension and demographic, genetic, personal, and socio-economic risk factors. Logistic regression models were fitted to data from the 1978-79 Canada Health Survey. The analysis showed that age, sex, genetic history, and body mass index were important factors in predicting high blood pressure. For males, blood cholesterol and exercise were other contributing factors; for females, hypertension also had significant associations with marital status, geographical region, and economic family income.
