We studied awareness, treatment and control of hypertension and factors associated with hypertension prevalence in Barmer district, Rajasthan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 adults aged ≥ 30 years. Data were collected using a modified World Health Organization STEPs tool. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done to find the factors associated with hypertension prevalence. Hypertension and pre-hypertension prevalence were 22.0% and 50.7% respectively. A quarter (27%) was aware, 25% were on treatment and 9% achieved adequate control of hypertension. Hypertension prevalence was significantly higher among men, older adults, overweight adults and those reported higher income compared to their counterparts.
