Abstract

Obesity and age in younger are associated with an increased risk of hypertension in the general population. However, little is known regarding the potential relationship between obesity and age with the risk of hypertension in adults. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and total mortality. Moreover, excessive weight and weight gain increases the risk of developing hypertension. Our study was to assess the risk of hypertension among individuals with body weight and age in Deli Serdang. This study was conducted from November 2022 - February 2023 with 100 respondents in 5 areas of Deli Serdang district. Data were analyzed using regression. There is a significant relationship between body weight and age for the risk of hypertension (p-value = 0.00). It is advisable for young people to reduce body weight because they are at risk for hypertension.
