<![CDATA[In the epidemiological transition, death due to degenerative disease is higher than infectious disease. One of degenerative disease is hypertension. Some modifi able risk factors of hypertension are obesity and nutrient intake. Many studies showed that o besity, especially central o besity can lead h ypertension. Dietary factors related high fat intake and imbalance calcium magnesium intake ratio also can lead hypertension. The aims of this study was to determine the relationship between waist circumference, fat intake, and calcium magnesium intake ratio with hypertension. The subject in this case control study was selected by simple random sampling in 27 hypertensive patients and 27 non hypertensive patients, then they were measured blood pressure and anthropometry, daily intake recalled, and interviewed. Chi Square test showed that waist circumference (p=0.000) and fat intake (p=0.024) had a signifi cant relationship with h ypertension, while the calcium magnesium intake ratio (p=0.573) had no signifi cant relationship with hypertension. The logistic regression showed that waist circumference had the most signifi cant relationship with h ypertension (p=0.012; OR=9.508). In this study, there was a relationship between waist circumference (central o besity) and fat intake above recommended daily intake with h ypertension, while calcium magnesium intake ratio had no signifi cant relationship with h ypertension. People with central o besity had a 9.508 risk to be hypertensive person than people with normal waist circumference.]]>
