Blood pressure measurements using sphygmomanometer, and other data obtained from questionnaires and direct measurements.

Determinant factors of hypertension are age, gender, genetics, exercise habits, smoking habits, fruit and vegetable consumption, and body mass index. Multivariate analysis with ordinal regression test showed the factors to influence the hypertension were genetic factors (OR=4,777; 95% CI 3,232-7,059; p=0,000), smoking (OR=1,004, 95%CI: 1,003 – 1,004, p=0,0001), and body mass index. (OR=1,054; 95%CI:1,002 – 1,109, p=0,042). Conclusion: Hypertension distribution is more dominant in the male group, and =40 years of age.
