Objectives: To study the relationship between BMI, sex, age, blood group and heredity of hypertension with blood pressure. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Pekan Baru. Subjects were government employee. Blood pressure was collected using sphygmanometer. Weight were collected.by SECA and height by microtoice. Blood group, sex, age, heredity was collected using questionaire. The JNC 7 was used to classify of hypertension.

The prevalence of overweight and obese (BMI ≥ 25,0) was 60,6%. BMI was positively associated with systole blood pressure (SBP). This study found that every BMI unit increase was associated with an SBP increase of 0,362 mmHg for men and women. Diastole blood pressure (DBP) of women was lower 3,4 point than men. There was positively associated between aged and systole/diastole. Every one year increase was associated with an SBP increase of 0,493 mmHg, and 0,189 mmHg DBP. Blood group was not associated with SBP, and DBP but SBP of AB blood groups was lower than A, B or O blood group; and DBP was lower than B blood group. There was strong association between heredity hypertension and SBP, and DBP. SBP of subject that had hypertension heredity was higher 4,8 mmHg, and diastole was higher 3,5 mmHg than subject without heredity hypertension.
