This article aims to examine the influencing factors on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in middle-aged adults with hypertension. HRQOL was assessed using EQ-5D from 263 middle-aged adults (40-60 years) with hypertension who participated in the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014). There were statistically significant differences in health-related quality of life according to income, education, subjective health status, experience of discomfort, activity limitation, stress, and aerobic physical activity. Factors influencing on health-related quality of life in middle-aged adults with hypertension were subjective health status, experience of discomfort, activity limitation, depression, and stress, which explained about 50% of total variance. These factors should be included in the nursing intervention, and psychological aspects such as depression should be emphasized.
