Abstract

Hypertension is a major public health concern among older adults and requires regular monitoring and appropriate lifestyle management. This community service activity aimed to describe blood pressure status before and after hypertension exercise among older adults in RW 2, Duri Kepa Village, Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta. The activity involved 30 older adults and included health education, blood pressure measurement before and after exercise, hypertension exercise, and counseling on hypertension management. Data were summarized descriptively using frequency distributions. Following the activity, 77% of participants were reported to be in the normal blood pressure category, while 13% and 10% were classified in the other blood pressure categories reported by the authors. These findings describe the participants’ blood pressure status after the activity; however, the absence of individual blood pressure changes, detailed measurement procedures, and a comparison group limits conclusions about the effect of exercise itself. Community-based hypertension education, physical activity, and regular blood pressure monitoring may support hypertension management among older adults. Further studies using standardized measurements and clearly defined evaluation procedures are needed to assess changes in blood pressure more rigorously.
