Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is an important indicator to assess maternal health efforts and societal development. Indonesia ranks third in MMR within ASEAN countries. Antenatal care ensures maternal health and infant safety through prevention efforts such as education and interventions to address dangerous symptoms during pregnancy. Factors influencing antenatal care utilization include maternal age, education level, pregnancy planning, parity, birth spacing, knowledge, attitude, economic factors, availability, distance, health history, perception of health, and access to obstetric services. Improving accessibility, economic conditions, and media exposure can boost antenatal care utilization rates globally.

Abstract

Hypertension is a common health issue frequently experienced by menopausal women. As women enter menopause, their risk of developing hypertension increases by approximately 41% compared to men, primarily due to the decline in estrogen levels during this period (Indalifiany & Suryani, 2024). In Indonesia, hypertension is recognized as one of the leading causes of death. The management of hypertension in menopausal women can involve both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Pharmacological treatments typically include the use of antihypertensive medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, and vasodilators (Chobanian et al., 2014). Meanwhile, non-pharmacological interventions like elderly gymnastics have been shown to effectively help reduce blood pressure. The exercise facilitates the release of heat, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide from the muscles, improving blood circulation and oxygen supply to muscle tissues, which promotes vasodilation, capillary relaxation, and ultimately lowers blood pressure (Muharni & Christya Wardhani, 2020). In a community service activity conducted in West Deli Tua Village, it was found that 80% of 30 participating menopausal women experienced an increase in knowledge about the benefits of elderly gymnastics. Additionally, a noticeable reduction in blood pressure was observed among participants after engaging in the exercise program.
