The rate of morbidity and fatality owing to
non-communicable diseases has been risen recent years in
Bangladesh. One of the non-communicable diseases is
hypertension. This cardiovascular disease is a serious
risky cause of the human body which may bring hazards
at any time. The main aim of this research is to pull out
the effective causes of hypertension and also study about
the prevalence of it in the northern area of Bangladesh.
We have collected data from two northern division of
Bangladesh. From this study, we found younger people
have less chance to attack with hypertension and it
showed the positive association with food habit, taking
fatty food, smoking, alcohol consuming, taking extra salt
and family past history compared with the disease and
these are the significant factors to develop hypertension.
This study revealed that among all other factors
consumption of fatty food, intake of extra salt and having
family past history with hypertension are the higher
influencing factors to develop hypertension in northern
