Abstract

The elderly are a group that is vulnerable to complications due to hypertension, such as stroke, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and even sudden death. Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the most common non-communicable diseases found in society and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that approximately 1.28 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension, with most cases undiagnosed and not receiving adequate treatment. Hypertension counseling for the elderly aims to provide education about the causes, impacts, prevention, and treatment of high blood pressure through an easy-to-understand approach. In addition, this activity is also expected to encourage the elderly to adopt a healthy lifestyle, such as reducing salt consumption, doing light physical activity, and complying with recommended medical therapy. The activity was carried out for the elderly with a total of 17 participants at the KTK Community Health Center Polyclinic, Solok City. Lectures and question and answer discussions were used to develop knowledge about complications, hypertension factors, symptoms and signs, prevention and treatment, etc. The media used were slides and leaflets. The tools used to carry out this activity are: leaflets and a list of questions related to the extension material which will be distributed before and after the extension.

Abstract

Health is a fundamental right of every individual and a key determinant of quality of life. However, in reality, awareness of early detection of health conditions remains very low. Many people only seek medical check-ups when they experience symptoms or are in a serious condition. In fact, various non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity can be prevented and controlled if detected early through regular basic health check-ups. The number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia in 2023 shows that NCDs are the leading cause of death in Indonesia, with 73% of deaths caused by NCDs. This activity is expected to increase public awareness and proactiveness in maintaining their health from an early age. This activity also supports the national health development goal of improving public health to the highest level. This community service activity consists of simple medical check-ups such as height and weight checks, waist circumference checks, blood pressure checks, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid checks. The aim is to determine the community's health status, thereby increasing public awareness and allowing for further treatment related to these health conditions. This activity was carried out in the community of Jorong Pamujan Kenagarian Kinari, Solok Regency. Conclusion: Free health screenings were conducted, including height and waist circumference checks, blood pressure checks, and blood tests (fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid). Recommendation: Maintain good health to prevent disease and conduct regular checkups for residents with high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus.
