Abstract
Background : Hypertension has become the main problem in this world with
nearly one trillion patients. According to World Health Organization, in 2000
there was 972 million population in this world who had hypertension and this
number can increase in the years that follow. There were hypertension
happenings and progresses that augment the risk due to high uric acid (HUA) or
normal high uric acid (NHUA). There were a number of researchers with cross
sectional cases reported that there is a correlation between hypertension and

hyperuricemia patients having 16 times greater the possibility of having
hypertension.

that is, the determined sample was done by choosing the sampe among the
population that matched the criteria wanted by the researcher. The researcher
obtained 381 people as subjects of research who were in accordance to the
minimum sample in this research.
Result: The association between uric acid level with hypertension on males, was
found that P=0,009 and r=0,206. The association between uric acid level with
hypertension on females, was found that p=<0,001 and r=0,233. While the
association of uric acid on males and females was p=<0,001 and r=0,639.
Conclusion: According to the research result accomplished, it was concluded that
there was a low correlation and significant association on uric acid level and
hypertension between males and females. There was also a strong correlation and
significant association on uric acid level between males and females, however
there was higher risk on females compared to males.
