morbidity. The background to the increasing prevalence of non-communicable
diseases and the increasingly varied epidemiological transition is one's lifestyle.
Having smoking habits, unhealthy eating patterns, lack of physical activity and stress

which is hypertension. The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is a
relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of hypertension in adult patients in
polyclinic disease in DKT Sidoarjo Hospital. The research design used correlation
analytic with cross sectional approach. There are 2 research variables, they are
independent and dependent. Lifestyle as an independent variable (independent) while
the dependent variable is the incidence of hypertension. The study population used all

results of the study showed that of 35 respondents, 15 respondents who had a healthy
lifestyle who did not suffer from hypertension, as many as 1 respondent (6.7%)
