The results of the bivariate test showed that the factors influencing the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension were age (p= 0.002; OR = 3,253), family history (p= 0.000; OR = 4.216), obesity (p= 0.005; OR = 2.734), physical activity (p= 0.000; OR = 4.229), salt consumption (p= 0.000; OR = 4,127), coffee consumption (p= 0.010; OR = 4,127), stress (p= 0.000; OR = 3,745), medication adherence (p= 0.000; OR = 4.492). Factors that were not related were gender (p= 0.620; OR = 0.803), smoking (p= 1,000; OR = 1,000). While the results of the multivariate test showed that the most influential factors with the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension were medication adherence variable (p= 0.000; Exp(B) = 5.982), and obesity variable (p= 0.002; Exp(B) = 4.945). In conclusion, the dominant factors that influence the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension at the Kebayakan Health Center are medication adherence and obesity.
