Authors are analyzing the correlation between total cholesterol level and blood pressure in the hypertensive patient at Kalidoni Primary Health Center, Palembang, Indonesia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 82 adult hypertensive patients. Data were collected from the medical record of patients who are visiting Kalidoni Primary Health Center in December 2019-January 2020. Demographic data, blood pressure, and total cholesterol level were gained. Obtained data are analyzed descriptively (frequency distribution) and analytically (correlation using Pearson or Spearman method).Result: Significant positive correlations were observed between total cholesterol level and systolic blood pressure (r=0.509, p=0.000) in addition to body weight and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.279; p=0.011).Conclusion: Blood cholesterol level had a significant correlation with moderate strength for determining systolic blood pressure level in hypertensive patients.
