<![CDATA[Hypertension in older adults requires regular blood pressure control. Low attendance at the integrated health post and limited health monitoring have become challenges in RW 07, Argasari Subdistrict. This activity aimed to improve the community's ability to control blood pressure and support balance among older adults through community empowerment using tandem walking exercises. The activity was conducted in June 2026 in RW 07, Argasari Subdistrict, Cihideung District, Tasikmalaya City, involving 50 participants and 7 health cadres. The activities included blood pressure screening, hypertension education, tandem walking training and practice, and cadre assistance. Blood pressure was measured before and after the program and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Mean blood pressure decreased from 140.20 mmHg to 134.00 mmHg. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference between blood pressure before and after the program (p=0.000). Health cadres are expected to continue tandem walking exercises and regular blood pressure monitoring according to the researchers' guidance.]]>
