Sleep quality is a measure where a person can easily start sleeping, can maintain a state of sleep and get adequate REM and NREM sleep stages. Poor sleep quality can increase the risk of hypertension, heart disease, and other medical conditions. Hypertension is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is known as the silent killer because it is asymptomatic. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. The type of research used was correlative with a case control approach, the sampling technique was purposive sampling with 74 elderly people divided into control groups and case groups. Data collection uses PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and medical records, then analyzed by Chi-square.
