Objective： Low rate of medication usage and blood pressure （BP） control, bad lifestyle, poor cognition to hypertension, have been obstacles in prevention from hypertensive disease and complication in Chinese cohort. Health education appears to be an impendent measure to improve this situation. To study the effect of health education on the rate of medication usage and BP control, the lifestyle, and the incidence of complication among patients with hypertension. Methods ： 284 hypertensive inpatients were divided randomly into two groups： the control group was intervened with routine medication; the education group was intervened with routine medication in combination with intensive health education according to the investigation on the risk factors of cardiocerebrovascular diseases and cognitive levels of hypertensive .disease. During 12.16 ± 1.95 months of following up, the status of lifestyle, the rate of medication usage and BP control, and incidence of complications between two groups were analyzed. Results： In education group, the rate of smoking, alcohol intake, lower-salt ingesting, exercise, medication usage and BP control were improved after intervention and significantly different from those before intervention （P 〈 0.01）. After intervention, the incidence of complications in education group and control group was 10.9% and 30.5% respectively （P 〈 0.01 ）. Conclusion ： Intensive health education is an important measure in preventing from hypertension.
