- Background : Hypertension estimated to cause 7,1 million deaths or about 13% of the cause of deaths worldwide. Uncontrolled hypertension can increase the risk of stroke by 7 times greater, congestive heart failure by 6 times greater, and heart attack by 3 times greater. Overweight and obesity are one of many risk factors of hypertension. Blood pressure combined with Body Mass Index (BMI) contribute to more than 60% cases of cardiovascular disease. Obejctives : To determine the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Method : This study was a cross sectional study. Samples were selected using the consecutive sampling methode. This study used 61 respondents who were hypertensive patients in Cardiology clinic of NTB general hospital. Data were collected directly by measuring the blood pressure, weight and height to determine Body Mass Index (BMI). The statistical analysis used was descriptive analysis and Spearman correlation test. Results : The results of the bivariate analysis using Spearman correlation test show that there is no significant correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and systolic blood pressure (p=0,692, r= -0,052) or diastolic blood pressure (p= 0,410, r= 0,107) in patients with hypertension in Cardiology clinic of NTB general hospital.
