Absolute Event Rate: 24.6% vs 0%
p-value: p=0.033
Frequent coffee consumption and unhealthy lifestyles are significantly associated with a higher prevalence of elevated blood pressure in working-age adults.
Associations should not yet guide prevention advice; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation in working-age adults.
Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence, including among productive age adults. Coffee consumption habits and unhealthy lifestyles are suspected to increase the risk of hypertension. This study aimed to determine the relationship between coffee consumption and lifestyle with the incidence of hypertension among productive age adults in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan City. Method: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 98 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and blood pressure measurement using a sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Among 98 respondents, 18 (18.4%) had hypertension. Coffee consumption was significantly associated with hypertension (p=0.033), and lifestyle was also significantly associated with hypertension (p=0.041). Respondents who frequently consumed coffee and had unhealthy lifestyles showed higher proportions of elevated blood pressure. Conclusion: There are significant relationships between coffee consumption and lifestyle with the incidence of hypertension among productive age adults in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan City. Limiting coffee intake and adopting a healthy lifestyle are recommended for hypertension prevention.

Azmi et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=98). Coffee consumption vs. No coffee consumption was evaluated on Incidence of hypertension (p=0.033). Frequent coffee consumption and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors were significantly associated with a higher incidence of hypertension among productive-age adults (p=0.033 and p=0.041, respectively).
