After being identified, 25 journals were obtained based on the inclusion criteria to be included in the systematic review.The type of data used is secondary data from Riskesdas 2018 and then analyzed using 25 accredited national journal articles. The library search strategy obtained comes from databases, namely Google Scholar, Researchgate, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Scopus published in 2017-2021. Data analysis was carried out by examining in depth to find similarities and differences in research findings, then adding the latest relevant findings and synthesis of researchers.

Results:The results showed that the risk factors for hypertension were divided into 2, namely modifiable risk factors and non-modifiable risk factors. The most dominant risk factor for hypertension in non-modifiable risk factors is family history. Meanwhile, the most dominant modifiable factor is diet (fat consumed).
