This document contains tables summarizing research on risk factors for hypertension (high blood pressure) in different populations and locations. The tables discuss factors like family history of hypertension, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and knee pain in relation to hypertension prevalence in places like the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, and China. The document also includes tables on quality of life comparisons between elderly people living independently versus in long-term care facilities, and discusses theories that may explain differences or correlations in study findings.
