Methods: This research was conducted at Bukit Asam Dermaga Unit Kertapati used a cross sectional design with a sample of 38 people with multivariate analysis, where the completion of hair sample data was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric (AAS) method and questionnaires distributed to respondents. Results: The statistical analysis showed that every 1 year increase in the risk of increased 1,15 times for hypertension, BMI over weight category risk 5,87 times to suffer from hypertension compared to normal BMI. Coffee drinking habits at risk 1.4 times for hypertension, each 1-year increase in the risk of increased 1 time for hypertension.
