Hypertension itself is a manifestation of a disturbance in the homeostatic balance of the cardiovascular system. The pathophysiology is multifactor, which ranges from age, gender, obesity, family history along with several cardiovascular-metabolic disease which often accompany hypertension. The goal for this research is to find the relation between the potential risk factor and hypertension of the policlinic patient in Sanglah hospital. This research is an observational research using the analytical cross-sectional study. Data were analyzed using chi-square test with p value <0.005 for significance. This research is done by collecting data primarily via blood pressure measurement and direct interview with the patient, secondarily via patient’s medical record. According to the research result, it was found that the proportion of hypertension within the internal medicine polyclinic is at 52%. It was also found that there is a significant relation between ages (p=0.001), obesity(p=0.001), smoking (p=0.000), family history (p=0.000) and hypertension, also it was found that gender has no relation with hypertension (p=0.255). Hypertension also has relationship with Diabetes mellitus (p=0.004), hypertensive heart disease (p=0.020) and chronic kidney disease (p=0.001).
