Hypertension is an important public health concern, and many of its risk factors are modifiable through healthy lifestyle practices. The present study assessed knowledge regarding lifestyle modifications for the prevention of hypertension among adults in Ghangola Village, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and examined its association with selected socio-demographic variables. A quantitative approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted. A total of 200 adults aged 18 years and above were selected using non-probability convenient sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering hypertension and its prevention, dietary modification, salt restriction, physical activity, weight management, tobacco and alcohol avoidance, stress management, and regular blood-pressure monitoring. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and the chi-square test; p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The analyzed results showed that 26 (13.0%) participants had fair knowledge, 167 (83.5%) had good knowledge, and 7 (3.5%) had excellent knowledge; none had poor knowledge. The study concludes that most adults had good knowledge, but continued community-based health education is needed to strengthen knowledge and support preventive lifestyle practices.
