Elderly or elderly is the final stage of life characterized by physiological changes that are increasingly declining, one of which is in cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the walls of arterial blood vessels. Based on a pre-survey at Panti Wreda Budi Dharma Kasih, it was found that more than half of the elderly experienced hypertension due to a lack of elderly knowledge about hypertension. This community service activity aims to educate the elderly about hypertension and invite the elderly to have a good lifestyle. This activity was carried out at Panti Wreda Budi Dharma Kasih attended by 27 participants. The PKM method is carried out by checking the blood pressure of the elderly using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Screening of PKM participants is elderly people with a minimum age of 60 years who can hear and see.

Data collection on the level of knowledge was carried out using pre-education and post-education questionnaires.
