Data gathering was done using a reliable and valid registration form. Also, a Sphygmomanometer (model: Saadat) made of Iran was used to measure blood pressure. Of 200 patients, 98 patients divided into control and intervention group. Educational intervention was done for intervention group among two weeks. Education was done face to face and individual based, twice two hours per week. Data was analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk independed t-test/ Mann-Whitney, paired t-test/McNemar Test. in SPSS version 16.<br /> Findings: result showed that education of life style modification decreased systolic blood pressure (9.94 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (5.84 mmHg) of intervention group before and after the intervention. The comparison of systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed that there was a significant difference between control and intervention group (P
