Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Population
People of productive age in the working area of Bara Baraya Public Health Center, Makassar City, Indonesia
Male sex, family history, and smoking were associated with hypertension in productive-age adults; leaves open whether these extend to other settings or warrant targeted screening.
Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease leading to major public health problems worldwide and continuing to increase every year. Hypertension is often known as “the silent killer” because it does not usually cause symptoms on its own, yet it slowly damages the blood vessels and in the long term, becomes a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine the associated risk factors of hypertension among people of productive age in the working area of the Bara Baraya Public Health Center, Makassar City, Indonesia.
