Multiple logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, education, occupation, duration of hypertension, family history of hypertension, and registration for dependent variables of PC management, drug treatment and drug compliance, while for dependent variables of BP control and depression, variables of PC management, drug treatment and drug compliance were added for controlling for.
