What factors are associated with the incidence of hypertension in menopausal women?
Age, menopausal status, family history, and obesity are significant risk factors associated with hypertension in menopausal women.
Associations of age, menopause timing, heredity, and obesity with hypertension need confirmation in menopausal women; leaves open causality and generalizability.
The results of a pre-survey at the Mulyojati Metro City Health Center in 2022 out of 460 menopausal women there were 264 (57%) menopausal women who experienced hypertension. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of hypertension in menopausal women, using a quantitative analytic survey with a case control design. The population in this study were all postmenopausal women at the Mulyojati Health Center in Metro City who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria with a sample of 32 people and 32 controls (1: 1 ratio), so that the total sample was 64 people. Using Simple Random Sampling technique and data analysis using chi-square test. The results of the study of 32 respondents, as many as 68.8% (22 people) suffered from hypertension and were at risk of age with statistical test results obtained p-value = 0.045 (≤α 0.05), as many as 34.4% (11 people) who suffered from hypertension had experienced menopause with statistical test results obtained = 0.012 (≤α 0.05), as many as 21, 9% (7 people) who suffer from hypertension are highly educated with statistical test results obtained p-value = 0.064 (> α 0.05), as many as 68.8% (22 people) who suffer from hypertension have a hereditary history of hypertension with statistical test results obtained p-value = 0.003 (≤α 0.05) and as many as 40.6% (13 people) suffer from hypertension. Hypertension and obesity with statistical test results obtained p-value = 0.005 (≤α 0.05). In conclusion, of the 5 (five) independent variables studied, there are 4 (four) variables that are proven to have an association with the incidence of hypertension in menopausal women.

Ridwan et al. (2024) conducted a case-control in Hypertension in menopausal women (n=64). Risk factors (age, menopause, education, heredity, obesity) vs. Postmenopausal women without hypertension was evaluated on Incidence of hypertension. Age (P=0.045), menopause (P=0.012), heredity (P=0.003), and obesity (P=0.005) were significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension in menopausal women.
