    The document discusses using statistical analysis methods to analyze data on respondents' knowledge of preventing hypertension through diet and physical activity. Frequency distribution, percentages, and weighted means were used to measure respondents' profiles and knowledge levels. T-tests and F-tests were also used to determine significant differences in knowledge based on factors like age, gender, and education. Specifically, t-tests measured differences according to age and gender, while F-tests measured differences according to educational attainment.

    Statistical treatment The questions under study were treated by using descriptive and inferential statistics.

    Frequency distribution and percentages measuring the data about the respondents profile, while the weighted mean determined the extent of knowledge on prevention of hypertension according to diet and physical activity. The formula is: Xwt = X1W1 + X2W2 + X3W3 N

    Where: Xwt = weighted mean

    X = score or item value

    W = weight of score

    N = total number of respondets

    The computed mean was analyzed and interpreted based on the guidelines below :

    Arbitrary Score 4

    Weighted Score 3.26-4.00

    Extent Highly Knowledgeable

    Interpretation Accuracy

    2.51- 3.25

    Moderately Knowledgeable

    When the above items regarding prevention of hypertension according to diet and physical activity

    are very satisfactorily shown(most of the answered correctly) 2 2.50-1.76 Least Knowledgeable 1 1.00-1.75 Not Knowledgeable

    The inferential statistics included t-test and f-test. Specifically the t-test measured significant differences in the extent of knowledge on prevention of hypertension according to age and gender. The formula is T = X1 X2
    ( )

    Where: X1 = the mean of the first sample

    X2 = the mean of the second sample

    EX = summation of squared roots

    N =total numbers of respondents

    X1 and X2 = deviation from the means of the two samples

    X1 and X2 = sum of squares in the two samples

    The F- test measured significant differences in the extent of knowledge on prevention of hypertension according to educational attainment.

    The formula is :

    F=

    Where: MSSb = the mean square of sum of squares between group

    MSSw = the mean square of sum of squares within group
