Background:
Hypertension is a persistent elevation in blood pressure that poses serious health risks.
Objective:
This case-control study aimed to identify factors linked to hypertension at Amplas Health Center.
Methods:
This study asks questionnaires to all patients aged 30-65 years and not diagnosed with hypertension who sought treatment at the Amplas Health Center from September 2-13, 2024. The analysis used bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results with p-value <0.05 were statistically significant.
Results:
Participants were 110 individuals aged 30-65 without a prior hypertension diagnosis, aged 48-65 years, with elementary education level, a family history of hypertension, a salt intake pattern >1 teaspoon, a moderate stress level, low social support, and a poor quality of life had a p-value <0.05.
Conclusion:
Biopsychosocial factors influence hypertension risk. Older age, stress, and lack of social support notably increase the likelihood of developing the condition. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive strategies considering lifestyle, emotional well-being, and social support in hypertension prevention.
