Abstract: Hypertension is characterized by increased systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Risk factors that can affect hypertension are divided into modified risk factors such as smoking habit and unmodified risk factors such as genetics, gender, and age. This study was aimed to evaluate the risk factors of hypertension at Rumah Sakit Robert Wolter Mongisidi Manado. This was an observational and analytical study with a cross sectional design. There were 75 patients as respondents, obtained by using non-probability random sampling (accidental sampling). Variables in this study were age, sex, smoking habit, and family history of hypertension. Data were analyzed by using the Fisher’s exact test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age and hypertension (p=0.041). Albeit, there were no significant relationships between other variables and hypertension, with the p-values as follows: sex (p=1.000), smoking habit (p=1.000), and family history of hypertension (p=1.000). In conclusion, age was the risk factor of hypertension among hypertensive patients at Rumah Sakit Robert Wolter Mongisidi Manado.
