DEFINITION OF HYPERTENSION
Hypertension or high blood pressure is an increase in systolic blood pressure
more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure more than 90 mmHg at 2 times
measurements with an interval of 5 minutes in a state of sufficient rest or calm.
Classification of hypertensionaccordingto ESC
2018canbedividedinto5categories,namelynormal where systolic / diastolic 160/100-
109)andhypertensionstageIII (> 180 /> 110) (Dr. Sardjito, nd ). now it is one of the
diseases which is quite common among Indonesians and is the second largest cause of
death.
The higher blood pressure of systole and diastole is likely to cause a greater
stroke, because there has been damage to the walls of blood vessels, making it easier
for blockages or even rupture of blood vessels in the brain. Rise and fall of blood
pressure is determined by systolic blood pressure (the highest blood pressure when the
furrowed heart pumps blood into the arteries) while diastole blood pressure (is blood
pressure when the heart breaks for an instant between two pulses).
The prevalence of hypertension patients not only occur in developed countries
but also occur in developing countries including Indonesia, hypertension cases in
Indonesia based on Riskesdas Data in 2013 showed 25.8% whereas hypertension
cases in the province East Java Based on 2018 Riskesdas data 10 shows 10.7%
(Riskesdas East Java 2018., n.d.)
Complications that can occur due to hypertension are coronary heart disease,
heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney failure, and retinopathy. The cause of pertensi
hypertension to date has not been ascertained, but the impact of hypertension resulted
in morbidity that requires serious treatment, and mortality high enough so that
hypertension is referred to as "the silent killer". Some of the factors that are known to
cause hypertension consist of factors that can be modified (diet, obesity, smoking, and
DM) and factors that cannot be modified (age, race, sex and genetic). (Nuraini, 2015)

C. ETIOLOGY OF HYPERTENSION
1. Obesity
Obesity puts extra strain on the heart, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
2. Genetics
Those with a family history of essential hypertension are more likely to be at risk of
developing the condition themselves. Fifty genes have been identified as linked to high
blood pressure.
3. Aging
Multiple factors related to aging have been shown to increase the likelihood of essential
hypertension. These include the stiffening of the arteries and the onset of certain renal
microvascular diseases not yet perceived as a cause.
4. Stress
5. Salt
6. Renin
The enzyme renin, produced by the kidneys, is part of the body’s “renin angiotensin
system”, which is responsible for controlling arterial blood pressure and is closely linked
to both essential hypertension and hypertension in general. People with both low and high
levels of renin are at risk of the condition.
7. Lack of exercise
The link between leading a sedentary lifestyle and an increased chance of essential
hypersensitivity is well studied. To lead a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of high
blood pressure, it is recommended that adults engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate
physical activity five days a week.
8. Race
Research indicates that hypertension is often more common in people of Afro-Caribbean
descent. Hypertension also tends to occur earlier in life, be more severe and be associated
with a higher risk of organ damage in people from this group.
9. Alcohol consumption
Excessive alcohol intake, defined by the U.S. Department of Health as consuming more
than one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, is associated with
hypertension.
A lack of physical activity is associated with hypertension. Exercise is one of the key
methods of managing high blood pressure.
b. Secondary hypertension
C. RISK FACTORS
Age: Hypertension is more common in people who are more than 60 years of age.
Blood pressure can increase steadily with age as the arteries stiffen and narrow due to
plaque buildup.
Ethnicity: Some ethnic groups are more prone to hypertension than others. African
Americans have a higher risk than other ethnic groups, for example. · Size and
weight: Being overweight or obese is a primary risk factor.
Alcohol and tobacco use: Regularly consuming large quantities of alcohol or tobacco
can increase blood pressure.
Sex: According to a 2018 review, males have a higher risk of developing hypertension
than females. However, this is only until after women reach menopause.

Hypertension is thought to develop into more serious health problems and can even
cause death. Hypertension is often referred to as the silent killer because of two things,
namely:
2. People with hypertension, if not treated properly, will have a great risk of dying
from cardiovascular complications such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and
kidney failure.
Symptoms of hypertension
Someone who has hypertension will feel some symptoms that arise. Symptoms that arise due
to hypertension include:
1. Headache
2. Fatigue
3. Nausea
4. Vomiting
5. Shortness of breath
6. Restless
7. Blurred vision occurs due to damage to the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys.
8. Frequent urination, especially at night
9. Ears ringing
E. HYPERTENSION CASES
Background: Coffee is one of the favorite drinks in the world. Coffee consumption affecting
hypertension has long been debated. Several studies have shown that at certain frequencies
the habit of drinking coffee is actually a protective factor of hypertension. Coffee can affect
blood pressure due to the presence of polyphenols, potassium, and caffeine. Polyphenols and
potassium are reducing blood pressure, while caffeine is raising blood pressure. This study
aims to determine the risk factors for hypertension in terms of coffee drinking habits.
Method: This research is an observational study using case contro; design. Research subjects
were 94 people consisting of 47 cases and 47 controls. The research subjects were male
residents of the Ungaran Community Health Center working area aged 45-65 years, taken by
consecutive sampling. Coffee drinking habits seen from the type of coffee, frequency,
thickness, and duration of drinking coffee are asked directly with a questionnaire. The
statistical analysis performend was the Chi Square test and the OR (Odd Ration) calculation
was carried out for the magnitude of the risk.
Results: OR subjects who drink coffee >5 cups per day of coffee (p=1,000 OR = 1.27, 95%
Cl: 0.08-21.10) were lower than subjects who drink coffee 1-2 cups per day (p = 0.017 OR =
4.12, 95% Cl: 1.22-13.39) even though it was not statistically significant. OR subjects drink
coffee 3-4 cups per day (p = 1,000; OR = 0.95; 95% Cl; 0.020-4.57) lower than subjects who
did not drink coffee although statistically not significant. Subjects who consumed 1-2 cups of
coffee per day increased their risk of hypertension 4.11 times higher (p = 0.017; O = 4.11 ; IK
95%: 1.22-13.93) compared to subjects who did not drink coffee.
CONCLUSIONS: Coffee drinking habits increase the risk of hypertension, but depends on
the frequency of daily consumption.
