The results of the hypothesis test using the Pearson product-moment test results of eating patterns with systolic blood pressure value 0.01 (<0.05) with a correlation value of r (0.290), the results of eating patterns with diastolic blood pressure value 0.01 (<0.05) with a correlation value of r ( 0.348).
