This research explores the complex array of factors contributing to the early onset of diabetes and hypertension among young adults, framed within a comprehensive conceptual theory. Embracing demographic data, environmental influences,socio-economic status, genetics, lifestyle choices, nutritional habits, and psychological factors, the theory provides a holistic framework for understanding and addressing these health challenges. Initial demographic analysis reveals essential insights into gender-related susceptibilities, guiding tailored interventions for specific population groups. Moving beyond demographics, the study examines various determinants impacting the premature development of diabetes and hypertension. While lifestyle choices exhibit a significant gender disparity, with male patients reporting higher instances of risk-associated behaviors, other factors such as environmental influences, socio-economic status, genetics, nutritional habits, and psychological factors demonstrate nuanced relationships with age. Environmental and genetic factors display weak positive correlations with age, highlighting the multifaceted nature of disease onset. Utilizing a purposive sampling approach and paper-based questionnaires, the study delves into the intricate interplay of these factors. Statistical analyses reveal gender-specific variations in lifestyle influences, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Additionally, correlations between age and environmental and genetic factors underscore the importance of personalized healthcare strategies. The study culminates in the development of actionable strategies aimed at preventing the early onset of hypertension and diabetes among young adults. These initiatives, tailored for implementation by barangay health centers, leverage insights gleaned from demographic profiling and statistical analyses to empower communities in proactive health management. In essence, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge surrounding diabetes and hypertension among young adults. By integrating demographic insights, identifying causal factors, and developing targeted interventions, it advocates for a proactive approach to public health, guided by a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted determinants of disease onset.
