The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences of health risk factors and socioeconomic factors on the quality of life of respondents with hypertension in Kalasan District, Sleman. This type of research was an observational study with cross-sectional approach. Respondents in this study were the people aged 40–75 years. Sampling was conducted in four hamlets in Kalasan District, named Padukuhan Jetis, Padukuhan Pundung, Padukuhan Grumbulgede, and Padukuhan Dhuri. The data analysis was performed with Kolmogorov‑Smirnov normality test, followed by t‑independent test for each of the eight domains of quality of life with the SF‑36 health and socioeconomic risk factors. The results from health risk factors showed that the difference of age affected quality of life on physical health component (p<0.05), physical function aspect (p<0.05) and physical role (p<0.05). Socioeconomic aspects of socioeconomic variables affected the quality of life on the mental health component (p<0.05), related to the role of emotions aspect (p<0.05) and physical health component (p<0.05) related to physical function aspect (p<0.05) also the physical role aspect (p<0.05).
