This type of research is analytic, using a cross-sectional research design. The number of samples in this study reached 111 respondents. The results of statistical analysis research using the Chi-square test showed statistical significance, namely the gender variable p-value0.032, POR= 2.478, 95%CI (1.151 – 5.336) family history p-value0.001, POR= 4.248, 95%CI (1.898 – 9.509) work p-value0.040, POR= 2.393, 95%CI (1.109 – 5.162) obesity p-value0.000, POR= 5.614, 95%CI (2.440 – 12.916) and sodium p-value0.000 POR= 10.500 95%CI (4.342 – 25,389) associated with hypertension. The results of the logistic regression analysis show that the variable that has the most influence on coastal communities in the working area of ​​the Cakru Community Health Center, Jember Regency, is sodium, which has a sig value of 0.000. The conclusion showed, there was a relationship with the variables of gender, family history, occupation, obesity, and sodium to the incidence of hypertension, and the variable that most influences the incidence of hypertension in this study is sodium.
