Hypertension is a disease that occurs when a person's blood pressure increases > 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg. Data from the North Sumatra Provincial Health Office in 2018, hypertension was ranked first out of the 10 most common diseases, namely 70,195 new cases and 184,946 old cases and the most at the Sigumpar Health Center with 585 cases, but in 2020 the incidence of hypertension increased to 1,371 cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gender, age, smoking habits, physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption with the incidence of hypertension in the community in the working area of the Sigumpar Health Center. The research design is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. The place of this research is in the working area of the Sigumpar Health Center and the time of the research is November 2022.
