One of the causes of hypertension in the community is the uncontrolled consumption of food and drink in their lives. Consumption of caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and consumption of less salt can cause low sodium levels in cells.

The population in this study was all patients with hypertension, amounting to 45 people. The total number of samples in this study was 45, using the total sampling technique. This research was carried out from August 2 to August 7, 2021. The analysis was carried out using a computerized process through univariate analysis. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the level of knowledge about caffeine and salt consumption in hypertensive patients among respondents who were in the “good†category was higher, with as many as 19 respondents (42.2%), 9 respondents (20.0%) in the “less†category, and 17 respondents (37.8%) in the sufficient category.
