Abstract

Hypertension is a global health problem with a high prevalence in the elderly population. This condition can increase the risk of serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Prevention of hypertension through proper health education is crucial to maintain quality of life and independence. This activity seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the hypertension prevention education program by increasing knowledge in fit elderly. The method used is a lecture with poster media. The pre-test and post-test were conducted with a 10-item questionnaire and involved 55 participants from various age groups in Klaseman Village, Gatak District, Sukoharjo Regency. The educational intervention included delivering material on the importance of a healthy diet (low salt, high fiber), regular physical activity, stress management, and self-monitoring of blood pressure or regular health checks. The results of the activity showed that after the intervention, there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge. This indicates that a structured and comprehensive education program is effective in empowering fit elderly to adopt a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of hypertension.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical transitional phase marked by significant physical development and changing dietary habits, including an increased preference for sugar-sweetened products. Excessive sugar consumption is theoretically linked to metabolic disturbances and muscle fatigue, which may negatively impact physical fitness. This study aims to investigate the relationship between sugar-sweetened intake and physical fitness levels among adolescents at Batik 1 Surakarta Senior High School. An observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 91 adolescent students at Batik 1 Surakarta Senior High School, selected through simple random sampling. Sugar-sweetened intake, encompassing both foods and beverages, was assessed using a FFQ covering the past month. Physical fitness levels were measured using the Harvard Step Test to calculate the Physical Fitness Index (PFI). Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test to identify significant correlations between variables, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. The Chi-Square test results showed a p-value = 0,080 with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 2,375 (CI = 0,889-6,344), indicating no statistically significant relationship between the consumption of sweet foods and beverages and physical fitness levels among adolescents at Batik 1 Surakarta Senior High School. However, frequency distribution data revealed an interesting trend; the group of adolescents with infrequent sugar-sweetened intake had a higher proportion of those in the "fit" category (33,3%) compared to the high-intake group (17,4%). This suggests a tendency for decreased physical fitness among individuals who more frequently consume sugar-sweetened products. This study concludes that there is no significant direct relationship between the consumption of sweet foods and beverages and physical fitness levels among adolescents. This suggests the need for further investigation into other contributing factors in future research to better understand the multifactorial complexity of physical fitness.
