Methods: This study is an observational quantitative study with a nested case-control research design. This research was conducted in Central Java Province and Yogyakarta Special Region Province during the Hajj period 1444 H (2023). Results: The result is that cardiomegaly (p-value:0,009; OR: 2.058; 95% Cl: 1.195-3.543), disease history (p-value<0.001; OR: 0.242; 95% Cl: 0.155-0.377), overweight and/or obesity (p-value<0.001; OR: 0.460; 95% Cl: 0.302-0.700) have a significant impact on the mortality of the Hajj pilgrims.
