Background: Hypertension is a high-risk health problem and leads to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease. This study aimed to determine the proxy determinants of hypertension in the Kawatuna community. Methods: an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach, with a population of 2,943 people, and the sample was taken using the Slovin formula; the sample size was 352 respondents by purposive sampling. Bivariate data analysis used the Chi-Square test at a significance level of p = 0.05 and analyzed the relationship between the multivariate determinant variables with logistic regression analysis. Results: the significant variable on the incidence of prehypertension was the genetic variable with p-value = 0.043 and RRR = 2.31. The variables that had a significant relationship with the incidence of hypertension were genetics with a p-value = 0.000 and gender with a p-value = 0.012. Respondents with a family history of hypertension had a greater risk of 5.9 times than those without family hypertension. The male gender had a risk of 3.68 times compared to female respondents. Conclusion: The determinants of hypertension proxy in the Kawatuna community are genetics and gender.
