The number of samples is 73 using the Slovin formula. Data analysis using Chi Square Test. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between smoking habits where p = 0.001 (<0.05), there is a relationship between physical activity where p = 0.001 (<0.05), there is a relationship between obesity where p = 0.028 (<0.05), and there is a relationship between age and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly in the work area of the Sihepeng Public Health Center with p value = 0.000 (<0.05).
