Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension in the elderly is one of the growing global health problems. One of the influencing factors is the low consumption of vegetables high in potassium. This study aims to determine the relationship between consumption of high potassium vegetable types and the level of hypertension in the elderly. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. Participants consisted of 44 elderly people with hypertension who were selected by accidental sampling technique from the elderly population who routinely conduct health checks at the first level health service facility. Inclusion criteria are elderly who have been diagnosed with hypertension and are willing to become respondents, while exclusion is elderly with communication disorders. The instrument used was a modified Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), while a tensimeter was used to measure blood pressure. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rho test. Results: Most respondents (65.9%) had high potassium vegetable consumption in the sufficient category. The majority of elderly people experienced prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension, each as much as 43.1%. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between consumption of high potassium vegetable types and the level of hypertension in the elderly (p-value = 0.000; r = -0.253). Conclusion: Elderly people who have adequate vegetable consumption are associated with blood pressure problems. This study suggests the need for further research on the amount and portion of vegetable consumption and the use of more accurate food recording methods.

Abstract

Introduction: Knee joint stiffness is a common musculoskeletal problem among older adults. Age-related physiological changes lead to a decline in physical function and mobility, resulting in a reduced range of motion in the joints. This study aimed to compare knee joint stiffness before and after the implementation of static flexibility training in older adults. Methods: This quantitative experimental study employed a one group pretest–posttest design. A total of 18 older adults experiencing knee joint stiffness at Betheseda Kasih Service Nursing Home were recruited using simple random sampling. Knee joint stiffness was measured using a goniometer and an observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Static flexibility training was conducted six times over a two-week period (three sessions per week), with each session lasting approximately 15 minutes. Each session consisted of five movements performed for 10–20 repetitions. Results: Prior to the intervention, the mean degree of knee joint stiffness was 75° (classified as stiff). Following the static flexibility training, the mean degree decreased to 48.89°, indicating a return to normal joint mobility. The Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant effect of static flexibility training on reducing knee joint stiffness (p = .000 < 0.001). Conclusion: Static flexibility training effective for improving joint mobility in older adults as a non-pharmacological approach. It is recommended to compare static and dynamic flexibility training effectiveness reducing knee joint stiffness among older adults in further study.
