The study aims to explore the current status of hypertension control and its predictors in patients with hypertension in China and provide evidence for preventing and controlling hypertension. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 300 hypertensive patients who visited the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 20, 2023 to March 11, 2023. The patients were divided into a well-controlled group and an untargeted-control group according to their hypertension control status. A total of 294 subjects, including 83 in the well-controlled group and 211 in the untargeted-control group, were included in the analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertensive patients with high BMI and family history of hypertension were risk factors for hypertension control. Married status was a protective factor for hypertension control. SVM optimized the model with γ = 0.001 and a penalty factor of C = 0.001. The prediction accuracy of the final model was 80.9%. The findings indicated that BMI, family history of hypertension, and marital status were independent predictors of blood pressure control. Further studies are warranted to illustrate potential mechanisms for improving hypertensive patients' blood pressure control.
