The lack of awareness and persistence of unhealthy habits highlight the need for community-based education. This study aimed to improve knowledge, awareness, and preventive behavior toward hypertension among pre-elderly and elderly individuals in Loa Raya Village. By integrating the Personal Prevention Check-Up (PPCU) with the 90-Day Health Program, the community was encouraged to identify their risk levels and adopt healthy habits, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the PPCU form through structured interviews at the elderly health post and door-to-door visits. Participants aged 45 years and above were selected purposively. Of 50 participants, 32 were at high risk, 12 moderate, and 6 low risk. The program increased awareness of hypertension, early detection, and healthy living practices. Implementers also learned the value of empathetic communication and continuous community engagement. Integrating PPCU with the 90-Day Health Program effectively raised awareness, promoted healthy behavior, and provided a practical, low-cost model for preventing non-communicable diseases in rural communities.]]>
