Abstract : There is a shift in the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases due to socio-economic, environmental, and demographic changes, resulting in healthier lifestyles within communities. The Global Status Report on Non-communicable Diseases (2010) indicates that 40% of developing economies are affected by hypertension compared to 35% in developed countries. The objective of the research is to know about the factors of obesity, family history of hypertension, salt intake, smoking habits, physical activity, and alcohol consumption for the occurrence of hypertension in communities aged 50-65 years in Becora Community Health Center in 2023. The definition of hypertension is a blood pressure that rises or falls with systolic pressure above 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure above 90 mmHg in twice the measurement of meter blood pressure meter under quiet conditions Yonitasari, 2018). With the condition increasing, it can cause complications to other organs, such as brain disturbance, blindness, stroke, renal failure, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The method implements quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach based on positivity (concrete data), with a total population of 347 hypertension patients who are actively treated at Becora CHC, with a sample of 78 respondents. The data analysis technique uses chi-square with univariate and bivariate variance. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between obesity X1 to hypertension, with p-value = 0.020<0.05; Family history X2 to hypertension, with p-value = 0.001<0.05; smoking habit X4 to hypertension, with p-value = 0.013>0.05; and physical activity X5 to hypertension, with p-value = 0.005. alcoholic X6 for hypertension with pvalue = 0.02<0.05, Salt consumption X3 for hypertension with pvalue = 0.062>0.05 (no significant relationship). Conclude that variables X1, X2, X4, X5, and X6 influence the occurrence of hypertension in the community in Becora Community Health Center, in 2023, therefore suggest to health personnel to continue to provide treatment to the community aged 50-65 with certain information so that they can prevent the occurrence of hypertension.
