Primary level education, retirement, higher economy, smoking habit, habit of taking restaurant food, physical inactivity, involvement in sedentary activity, and longer duration of diabetes were the risk factors for hypertension. Muslim rural illiterate elderly adults were at higher risk of prevalence of disability. Retirement, high economy, smoking habit, habit of taking restaurant food, involvement in sedentary activity, high normal blood pressure and longer duration of diabetes were also the risk factors for prevalence of disability.
