Key result
A high-risk diet significantly increased the odds of experiencing hypertension by nearly two-fold (OR 1.938) among adults aged 45-75.
Why the study?
Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, especially in older adults, but the relationship between lifestyle factors and hypertension in this population was unclear.
Do lifestyle risk factors (diet, physical activity, stress, obesity) increase the risk of hypertension in adults aged 45-75 years?

Do lifestyle risk factors (diet, physical activity, stress, obesity) increase the risk of hypertension in adults aged 45-75 years?
Odds Ratio: 1.938 (95% CI 1.008–3.727)
Absolute Event Rate: 61.6% vs 45.2%
p-value: p=0.001
A poor diet significantly increases the odds of developing hypertension in middle-aged and older adults, highlighting the importance of nutritional education for cardiovascular prevention.
High-risk diet associated with nearly doubled hypertension odds in adults 45-75; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas secara global, terutama pada kelompok usia lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara faktor risiko gaya hidup, pola makan, aktivitas fisik, stres, dan obesitas dengan kejadian hipertensi pada masyarakat usia 45–75 tahun di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Nambo. Total populasi 1.408 dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 146 responden penelitian ini menggunakan desain case control yang terdiri dari 73 kasus (penderita hipertensi) dan 73 kontrol (tidak hipertensi). Pengolahan data meliputi editing, coding, scoring dan entri SPSS, lalu dianalisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Odds Ratio (OR) tingkat kepercayaan 95% serta disajikan dalam distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari lima variabel yang dianalisis, hanya pola makan yang memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan kejadian hipertensi (OR = 1,938; CI 95%: 1,008–3,727; p = 0,001), sedangkan gaya hidup, aktivitas fisik, stres, dan obesitas tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik. Disimpulkan bahwa pola makan negatif merupakan faktor risiko signifikan terhadap kejadian hipertensi, sehingga diperlukan intervensi promotif dan preventif melalui edukasi dan pemberdayaan masyarakat.

Yulian et al. (2026) conducted a case-control in Hypertension (n=146). High-risk diet (poor diet) vs. Low-risk diet (good diet) was evaluated on Incidence of hypertension (OR 1.938, 95% CI 1.008-3.727, p=0.001). A high-risk diet significantly increased the odds of experiencing hypertension by nearly two-fold (OR 1.938) among adults aged 45-75.
