Introduction: Hypertension is one of the major health problems among adults and can lead to various complications if not properly controlled. Physical activity and smoking habits are important factors that may influence blood pressure levels and the severity of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia remains high, reaching approximately 36%, while the Indonesian Basic Health Research reported a prevalence of 34.1%. This condition indicates that hypertension continues to be a significant public health concern requiring effective prevention and control of its risk factors.
Objectives: To determine the relationship between physical activity and smoking habits with the degree of hypertension among adults at Ciracas Community Health Center, East Jakarta.
Method: This study employed a quantitative research design with an observational analytic approach using a cross-sectional method. A total of 88 adult patients with hypertension were selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using the latest blood pressure records classified according to the Joint National Committee 7 (JNC 7), the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) to assess physical activity levels, and the Glover–Nilsson Smoking Behaviour Questionnaire to evaluate smoking habits. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test.
Result: The results showed that most respondents had moderate physical activity levels (39.8%), did not have smoking habits (70.5%), and experienced stage 1 hypertension (61.4%). Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between physical activity and the degree of hypertension (p < 0.05). However, smoking habits were not significantly associated with the degree of hypertension (p > 0.05).
Conclution: Physical activity is significantly associated with the degree of hypertension among adults, whereas smoking habits are not significantly related to hypertension severity. Regular physical activity may contribute to better blood pressure control and reduced hypertension severity. Therefore, healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, should strengthen health promotion and preventive programs by providing education and motivation to encourage patients to engage in regular physical activity.

Introduction: Hypertension remains a major global health problem with a continuously increasing prevalence. In 2024, approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide were estimated to have hypertension. In Indonesia, around 51.3 million individuals aged 30-79 years suffer from hypertension, while in DKI Jakarta there were 923,451 reported cases. Unhealthy dietary habits and insufficient physical activity are among the primary risk factors contributing to the development of hypertension, particularly among adults.
Objectives: To determine the relationship between dietary patterns and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension among adult patients at Karet Kuningan Community Health Center.
Method: This study employed a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 73 adult respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess dietary patterns, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) to measure physical activity levels, and blood pressure measurements using a digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test.
Result: The findings revealed that 65.8% of respondents had unhealthy dietary patterns and 47.9% had low levels of physical activity. The prevalence of hypertension among respondents was 69.9%. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between dietary patterns and hypertension incidence (p = 0.001; OR = 246.750). In addition, a significant relationship was found between physical activity and hypertension incidence (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between dietary patterns and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension among adult patients at Karet Kuningan Community Health Center. Improving public awareness through nutrition education and the promotion of regular physical activity is essential to support healthy lifestyles and prevent hypertension.
