Background and Aim: This study was carried out in the port city of Boma and had the aim of evaluating the impact of nutritional and environmental factors on the prevalence of hypertension. Methods: a cross-sectional survey using a modified WHO STEP wise questionnaire for data collection during face-to face interviews was conducted from March, 1 to April 15, 2018. We did multi-stage cluster sampling. Was an all-inclusive adult over the age of ≥ 18 years having given informed consent. Information on demographic parameters, lifestyles, anthropometric measurements and blood pressure (BP) were obtained. Hypertension was defined as a mean of two BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg or a self-reported history of antihypertensive drug use. Independent factors associated with hypertension were identified using logistic pressure analysis. P<0.05 defined level of statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 35 SES Low (p=0.002), Tabaco (p=0.002), physical Inactivity (p=0.043), Excess consumption of animal fats (p=0.035), and Low frequency consumption fruits and vegetables (p=0.010) have been the nutritional and environmental factors associated with high blood pressure. Conclusion: Nutritional and environmental factors play an important role in increasing the prevalence of hypertension in the city of boma, this requires that the population is in full nutritional transition
