Background: Hypertension and elevated cholesterol levels are common health problems among productive-age adults and are often associated with unhealthy lifestyles, physical inactivity, stress, and excessive consumption of fatty and salty foods. Objective: This study aimed to describe cholesterol levels and the occurrence of hypertension among productive-age adults in the working area of Jangka Public Health Center, Bireuen Regency. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 30 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected from August 6 to 10, 2026, using a cholesterol meter and a sphygmomanometer to measure cholesterol levels and blood pressure, respectively. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and presented as frequency distributions, percentages, means, standard deviations, medians, and interquartile ranges. Results: The findings showed that 18 respondents (60.0%) had high cholesterol levels, while 12 (40.0%) had normal levels. Regarding blood pressure, 17 respondents (56.7%) had hypertension, whereas 13 (43.3%) did not. The mean cholesterol level was 207.10 ± 32.017 mg/dL. The median systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were 142 mmHg and 90 mmHg, respectively. Conclusion: High cholesterol levels and hypertension were relatively common among productive-age adults in the study area. Regular health screenings, healthy dietary habits, reduced fat and salt consumption, and increased physical activity are recommended to support the prevention and early detection of these conditions.
