Hypertension can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems. It is of great significance for researchers to find out the risk factors that affect the onset, maintenance and prognosis of hypertension. In this study we aim to find out the risk factors of hypertension from questionnaire data for peasants in East China. We develop some customized preprocessing methods according to the characteristics of questionnaire data, employ logistic regression to discover some results and propose a method to validate these results. The final results show that age, FPG, the number of people for dinner, HC, the times of eating pickles are more than 7 per week, drinking, illiterate, moderate labor, drinking groundwater, times of bearing and smoking are risk factors of HBP for peasants in East China.
