The nutritional status of obese individuals is one of the hypertension risk factors. Each year, the prevalence of obesity among adolescents increases, resulting in a higher prevalence of hypertension before maturity. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of hypertension in late adolescence and the relationship between obesity and hypertension among late adolescence in Jatinangor. Methods: This is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach, conducted on August-September 2022 at jatinangor Senior High School. The stratified random sampling technique was used, with a sample size of 208 individuals. The data were analysed using a chi-square and fisher exact test for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: Hypertension affected 37.5% of respondent. Obesity (p = 0.000; OR 12.978; 95% CI 3.698–45.550), family history of hypertension (p = 0.032; OR 2.099; 95% CI 1.110–3.968), and physical activity (p = 0,018; OR 2.056; CI 95% 1.164–3.629) were significantly associated with hypertension. After multivariate analysis, it was demonstrated that obesity was the most significant factor of hypertension. Conclusion: More than a quarter of late adolescents have hypertension associated to obesity, the family history of hypertension, and physical activity. Obesity is demonstrated to be the most significant risk factor of hypertension among late adolescents in Jatinangor.HipertensiObesitasRemaja Akhir
