Abstract: Hypertension is a known major avoidable risk factor for cerebro- and cardiovascular disease. Awareness of the disease is required for medication adherence to prevent the complication. Using a cross-sectional population-based survey data (Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)), we observed the determinant factors in hypertension awareness and disease control among Indonesia Hypertension adults aged ≥40 (N=2676). Our finding suggested that 56% of 2676 hypertensive patients were women. Among those patients, only 42.8 % aware that they had high blood pressure and only 14.6 % had the anti-hypertensive drugs. Women were more aware of hypertension and disease control compared than men. Men and older patients (>60 years old) were more vulnerable to have undiagnosed and untreated hypertensive status. It is substantial to do regular health screening and society education to improve hypertension awareness and to reduce gender disparity in cardiovascular problem among Indonesian adults.
