Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease that is common in adulthood. Consumption of macrominerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as physical activity, are thought to contribute to the incidence of hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between macromineral consumption and physical activity with the incidence of hypertension in adulthood in the working area of Jembatan Kecil Community Health Center in Bengkulu City in 2025. This study employed a cross-sectional design with 117 adult respondents selected through purposive sampling. Macro mineral intake data were collected using the Semi-Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), while physical activity data were collected using the GPAQ questionnaire. Analyses were performed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between sodium consumption (p=0.010) and physical activity (p=0.043) and the incidence of hypertension. There were no significant relationship between potassium consumption (p=0.164), calcium consumption (p=0.843), and magnesium consumption (p=0.127) with the incidence of hypertension. The study concludes that high sodium intake and insufficient physical activity are associated with the incidence of hypertension in adults. Nutrition education and physical activity promotion need to be carried out regularly at the community health center.
