There were two factors could explain the variance of health-promoting behaviors among elders with hypertension disease accounted for 68.50% with statistical significance (R2 = 0.685, p < .01). Two factors that predicted on health-promoting behaviors such as interpersonal influence (β = .713, p < .01) and social support (β = .140, p < .01), respectively.
