Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that has become a global health concern, with prevalence continuously rising, particularly among the elderly. Low public awareness about hypertension and insufficient physical activity are key factors that worsen the condition. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of hypertension through health education, healthy diet counseling, and hypertension exercise. The activity was conducted in Hamlet II B, Air Sebakul Village, involving 30 participants consisting of elderly individuals, women of childbearing age, and productive-age community members. Methods included health education using leaflets and PowerPoint presentations, blood pressure measurement, and pre-test and post-test assessments. Results showed that 60% of participants had hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg). Knowledge evaluation revealed a significant improvement, from 30% of participants having good knowledge before the session to 90% afterward. Hypertension exercise conducted for approximately 60 minutes also showed a positive response, with diastolic blood pressure reduction observed in several participants, particularly those with Stage 1 hypertension. It is concluded that an integrated intervention of health education, dietary counseling, and hypertension exercise is effective as a promotive and preventive approach to reducing hypertension risk in the community.
