Results: 1) The groups were significantly correlated with such variables systolic BP(F=4.518, p=0.035) and diastolic BP(F=17.793, p=0.000). 2) The groups with hypertensive were significantly correlated with such variables perceived susceptibility of disease(X²=25.053, p=0.000), perceived barrier of health behavior(X²=12.584, p=0.006), drinking(X²=27.545, p=0.000), diet(X²=8.645, p=0.013), regular taking medicine(x²=92.415, p=0.000) and regular measurement of BP(X²=6.045, p=0.049). 3) The groups with diabetic were significantly correlated with such variables perceived seriousness of disease(X²=6.128, p=0.047), perceived susceptibility of disease(X²=8.079, p=0.018), health knowledge and attitude(F=8.418, p=0.006), drinking(X²=6.276, p=0.043), diet(X²=7.275, p=0.026), regular taking medicine(X²=33.083, p=0.000) and regular measurement of glucose(X²=7.233, p=0.027).
