Abstract

The increasing number of older adults in Indonesia has been accompanied by a growing prevalence of hypertension, a chronic condition that may lead to stroke, heart failure, or kidney disease. Adherence to a hypertension-specific diet is essential in managing the disease, and family support is believed to play a critical role in ensuring dietary compliance among older adults. This study explored the association between family support and dietary adherence in hypertensive older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 106 older adults diagnosed with hypertension and living with their families. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected using validated questionnaires. The Chi-square test was used to analyse the association between family support and dietary adherence. The findings showed that older adults who received strong family support were more likely to follow dietary recommendations. It highlights the importance of involving families in chronic disease management strategies, particularly encouraging healthy lifestyle behaviors among older adults. Family-based approaches should be prioritised in hypertension intervention programs to improve health outcomes in the elderly population.

Abstract

Sleep quality is a crucial indicator of health and well-being among older adults, often disrupted by age-related physiological changes and lifestyle factors such as physical activity. As individuals age, reduced physical activity may contribute to sleep disturbances, negatively affecting cognitive function, emotional stability, and overall quality of life. This study examined the association between physical activity and sleep quality in older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted among elderly individuals attending a community health post, with data collected through questionnaires assessing physical activity and sleep quality. The findings revealed that many participants exhibited low physical activity levels and experienced poor sleep quality. Further analysis indicated a meaningful relationship between higher physical activity levels and better sleep outcomes. These results underscore the importance of physical activity as a potential non-pharmacological strategy to support healthy aging and improve sleep patterns in the elderly population. Encouraging older adults to engage in regular physical activity may improve sleep hygiene and overall health. Future research should explore this relationship using longitudinal or interventional designs to establish causal pathways and inform public health strategies for elderly care.
