One of the key risk factors for cardiovascular disease and a disease with a growing worldwide burden is hypertension. Every year, the prevalence of hypertension rises, even in Ampenan City, which is made up primarily of coastal areas. Hypertension's rising prevalence is linked to bad lifestyle choices and population density. Public health issues like hypertension may be impacted by the economic growth of coastal tourism. The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors for high systolic or diastolic blood pressure in persons living in coastal villages in Ampenan. In a cross-sectional research, 179 participants were chosen at random from the Ampenan coastline region of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Data were gathered by entering them in the Integrated Development Post for Non-Communicable Diseases logbook. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the statistical analysis in SPSS Version 23.0. The threshold for statistical significance was P <0.05. Systolic and diastolic hypertension were more common among the 179 respondents in Ampenan coastal settlements, at 51.4% and 27.4%, respectively. Age and high SBP were substantially correlated, according to a multivariate logistic regression analysis (ORsystolic=1.077; 95% CI=1.048-1.106, p<0.0001). Male gender and greater DBP were substantially correlated (ORdiastolic=4.407; 95% CI=1.187-16.358, p=0.027). In comparison to respondents who did not have abdominal obesity, those who did had a greater likelihood of having higher SBP and DBP (ORsystolic= 3.207; 95% CI=1.391-7.399, p=0.006; ORdiastolic= 9.333; 95% CI=2.999-29.044, p<0.0001). The likelihood of developing hypertension increased considerably with male gender, older age, and abdominal fat status. These results indicate that more research in these characteristics and other coastal regions is required to provide some key information for the development of improved preventative methods for hypertension through health promotion and lifestyle counseling.
