Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that poses a major health problem in Indonesia, especially among the productive age group. This study aims to examine the relationship between lifestyle patterns and individual factors with blood pressure control in hypertensive patients of productive age at Caringin Public Health Center, Tangerang Regency. The variables studied include personal health history, family history, age, gender, excessive salt consumption, excessive sugar consumption, excessive fat consumption, alcohol consumption, smoking, consumption of vegetables and fruits, physical activity, blood glucose levels, and obesity. The study used a retrospective design with a quantitative approach and a sample of 310 respondents. The results showed a significant association between age, excessive salt consumption, alcohol consumption, consumption of vegetables and fruits, family history of hypertension, smoking habits, and lack of physical activity with increased blood pressure in hypertensive patients. However, personal health history did not show a significant association with blood pressure (p = 0.169). Multivariate analysis identified productive age, excessive salt consumption, consumption of vegetables and fruits, family history of hypertension, excessive fat consumption, lack of physical activity, and personal health history as candidate factors contributing to increased blood pressure.
