Sociodemographic data, habits and practice were collected using interview method, Blood pressure was measured using sphygmomanometer and weight was recorded using weighing scale, waist and hip circumference was measured using measuring tape, BMI and waist hip ratio was calculated. Data was collected for a duration of one week. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Point prevalence of hypertension among the shopkeepers screened was 28.6%. Anthropometric parameters highlighted that 32% of them were overweight (BMI>25.0-29.9 m2),91.1% of Male shopkeepers had high risk waist hip ratio (1.0 or higher),48.3% of female shopkeepers had moderate risk waist hip ratio (0.81-0.85). With regards to habits, eight percentage of them reported alcohol consumption,24% of them used tobacco,88% of them consumed tea/coffee regularly.74.7% did not indulge in any form of exercise,25.3% of them who exercised they did it regularly.
