Key result
Community-based education and low-impact exercise program improves hypertension understanding in older adults.
Why the study?
Hypertension in elderly individuals results from neurocirculatory system decline, necessitating community-based interventions including education, health checks, and low-impact aerobic exercise.
A three-day community service program involving education, health checks, and low-impact aerobic exercise was successfully implemented and improved understanding of hypertension among elderly participants.
Supports feasibility of brief community hypertension programs in older adults; hypothesis-generating for clinical outcome trials.
Elderly individuals experience a degenerative process. One of the factors contributing to the decline in body function is the neurocirculatory system. This condition leads to hypertension. Therefore, efforts are needed to address hypertension in the elderly in the community. These measures include education, health checks, and complementary therapy in the form of low-impact aerobic exercise. A community service program is needed to address hypertension in the elderly in the community. The three-day community service program consisted of health education on hypertension on the first day, health checks on the second day, and low-impact aerobic exercise therapy on the third day. The program ran smoothly, in accordance with the contract and objectives. Participants enthusiastically participated in each session until its completion. Participants reported a greater understanding of hypertension. The health check results were summarized in the community health center, and low-impact aerobic exercise was administered according to standard operating procedures (SOP). The community service program

Eva Dwi Ramayanti (2026) studied Hypertension. Health education, health checks, and low-impact aerobic exercise was evaluated on Self-reported understanding of hypertension and program completion. A 3-day community service program of health education, health checks, and low-impact aerobic exercise was successfully implemented, improving elderly participants' understanding of hypertension.
