Abstract Background There have been five cases of hypertension to EPC workers in the last five years (2012–2017). To minimize the risk of hypertension in workers and to prevent greater losses in terms of productivity and medical costs arised from the disease, it is necessary to acknowledge the distribution of blood pressure in EPC workers and analyze any factors related to blood pressure, as a screening of hypertension occurred related to worker health promotion program. Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors associated with blood pressure (systolic, diastolic) on workers of EPC. Method A quantitative approach in a cross-sectional design which comprised the subjects of the study as samples are 97 workers of EPC Result The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is higher among workers with abnormal sleep duration (SBP: 125, 15±8, 57, DBP: 84, 71±6, 02), frequently dietary habits in fast food consumption (SBP: 140, 00±0, 00, DBP: 90, 00±0, 00), lack of physical activity (SBP: 122, 75±9, 20) and lack of knowledge about hypertension. There were significant differences in the mean systolic (R2 = 0, 049) and diastolic blood pressure (R2 = 0, 061) in workers in the form of sleep duration. Conclusion The majority of worker's blood pressure is categorized prehypertension based on blood pressure category by JNC-7. Results indicate that abnormal sleep duration, the frequency of protein consumption, physical activity that does not fit with the recommendation and lack of knowledge about hypertension contribute to higher of worker's blood pressure.
