The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia reaches 63.8% of the population aged 75 years and over. This literature review aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and prayer on blood pressure in hypertensive elderly. The benefit of this research is expected to be able to improve and provide health information in order to improve health services for the elderly suffering from hypertension. This article is a literature review by examining five journals on the relationship between knowledge and prayer on blood pressure in the elderly.
