Abstract

Hypertension is a health problem that often occurs in senior citizens and can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health complications. Health education about hypertension among senior citizens has become very important to improve their understanding of this condition. The purpose of this activity is to implement health promotion and preventive efforts based on collaboration between professions in providing hypertension health education to the elderly. The method used is material presentation, discussion, and evaluation of activities. The result of the implementation of this activity is an increase in elderly knowledge about hypertension from poor to good. It was concluded that there was a need for periodic socialisation involving many communities and cadres. Families are expected to apply at home and disseminate information related to hypertension. Through this increased knowledge, it is hoped that senior citizens can take preventive and proactive steps in managing their blood pressure, promoting heart health, and improving their overall quality of life. This holistic approach involves collaborating with health workers, drawing on local resources, and ensuring social support is in place to support efforts to prevent and manage hypertension among senior citizens

Abstract

The increasing number of older adults in Indonesia demands more attention to efforts to optimize their health. The elderly are susceptible to various chronic and degenerative diseases that can reduce the quality of life. Therefore, a comprehensive approach through screening and health education is urgently needed to improve the health status of older adults. This community service aims to conduct health screenings and provide health education to older adults in certain areas. The methods used include basic health checks such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index (BMI), as well as counseling on healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and the importance of physical activity. The results of this activity show that many older adults are not aware of their actual health conditions. Through screening, several cases of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity were found that required further treatment. In addition, the health education provided is able to increase the knowledge and awareness of older adults regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This community service concludes that the combination of screening and health education is effective in detecting health problems and increasing the awareness of the elderly about the importance of prevention and early treatment. Recommendations for similar programs in the future are to expand the reach of activities, strengthen collaboration with local health facilities, and develop more comprehensive educational materials
