<![CDATA[Introduction: Obesity is a state of excessive accumulation of fat in the body, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Obesity can be measured using anthropometric methods measuring waist circumference and hip circumference. This study aims to find the relationship between the size of waist circumference and hip circumference to blood pressure in prolanis participants in the working area of Kedawung I Public Health Center, Sragen Regency.Method: This study was an observational analytic study using a cross sectional design. The subjects were prolanis participant patient with a history of hypertension in the Kedawung I Community Health Center in Sragen in July 2017. Sampling was done by simple random sampling. The number of subject were 60 persons.Results: There were significant relationship between waist circumference and systolic/ diastolic blood pressure with weak strength (r = 0.304; p = 0.018 and r = 0.337; p = 0.008) and significant relationship between hip circumference with systolic/diastolic blood pressure with weak strength (r = 0.263; p = 0.042 and r = 0.306; p = 0.017).Conclusion: the increasing size of waist and hip circumference may increase blood pressure in prolanis participants.]]>
