Background： Hypertension is one of the signficant risk factors for further severe cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the insidence of hypertension in adult age population has increased gradually. Thus, assessment of hypertension insidence and their risk factors in adult age people has given the beneficience for treating dan preventing program earlier. Aim： To analyze hypertension insidence in adult age and their risk factors that dominanly effect the occurance of hypertension. Method： This study was correlational with survey method. Accidental sampling was conducted to 120 respondents who live around Malioboro district. Hypertension was detected from systole and diastole value, while the risk factors of hypertension were age, gender, family disease history, type of activity, the number of cigarette each day, the length of smoking, random blood glucose, and body mass index. Analyzing the data used Pearson correlation if data were normal, or used Spearman correlation if data were not normal. Findings： From 120 participants, mean of systolic pressure was 120.7 mmHg and mean of diastolic pressure was 78.5 mmHg. Age mean was 39 years old, dominantly was woman amount 83 （69.2%）, and without family disease history as 66 （55%）. Mostly they had moderate physical activity amount 71 （59%）. Mean of cigarette consumtion was 11 pieces/day, for 23 years. Random blood glucose mean was 131 mg/dL and mean of body mass index was 26 kg/m2. Correlation analysis mentioned that body mass index had correlate with systolic and diastolic value significantly （p 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Systolic and diastolic pressure value in adult age were still normal. Risk factor that correlated significantly with adult age blood pressure was body mass index. Another risk factors such as cholesterol level, blood glucose in fasting condition and two hour post meal, also food consumtion were considered that should be included in next study.
