| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Hypertension data based on age groups in Surabaya showed an increase in hypertension trends in the young age group. It is known that hypertension risk factors are gender, behavior or lifestyle, age, sex, race/ethnicity, genetics, effective stress management, and obesity. Of all these risk factors, behavioral factors or specifically referred to as lifestyle are closely related to hypertension morbidity in the young age group. This study aims to determine the determinants that most influence the incidence of hypertension to reduce the prevalence of hypertension at a young age in the western and southern parts of the city of Surabaya. Method: The method used was a cross-sectional observational analysis using Chi-Square and logistic regression. The sample consisted of 404 respondents taken by Cluster Random Sampling, with inclusion criteria as follows: 18-35 years old, currently not using hypertension medication, never having a stroke and suffering from a heart condition. The respondent's blood pressure check is carried out before and after completing the questionnaire. Results and Discussion: The results of research that show bad attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle, smoking behavior, exercise, fast food, stress, and sleep time have significant results on the incidence of hypertension. Of all factors, smoking behavior was the highest (p = 0,000; OR 14,366). Conclusion: To prevent an increase in the prevalence of hypertension in adolescents and young adults, it is necessary to consider community-related interventions and lifestyles that are at risk of causing hypertension in adolescents and young adults. | en_US |
