pressure) and/or 90 mmHg (diastolic pressure). Based on WHO (2014), there is
approximately 600 million people who suffered from hypertension in the world.
RISKESDAS in 2013 showed that Indonesian prevalence for hypertension around
25.8%. The incidence of hypertension is very high, especially among elderly
population, with prevalence number around 60-80% of total elderly population. In
working region of Puskesmas Petang I it self, hypertension still be the major
problem among elderly.
In general, hypertension is asymptomatic, so many people would not realize
it. Thats why hypertension is called a silent killer. Hypertension as a chronic
disease are affected with many factor. The risk factors of hypertension are divided
into unmodifiable and modifiable risk factors. Risk factors that cant be modified
such as heredity, gender, race and age.While the risk factors that can be modified
are: obesity, lack of exercise or activity, smoking, alcoholism, stress level, and
eating habits.
Hypertension in the elderly can lead to poor quality of life, difficulties in
social and physical function as well as increasing morbidity and mortality from
complications its caused.
This study aims to determine the factors associated with hypertension in the
elderly in the region of UPT PuskesmasPetang I, factors that cannot be changed
(sex and genetic) as well as factors that related to the lifestyle.
This study uses a quantitative with cross sectional approach study design.
The sample in this research is the elderly who come to Posyandu were carried out
in seven village in DesaPetang,KecamatanPetang, which has fulfilled the
inclusion and exclusion criteria, and has been selected as a sample by consecutive
sampling technique. Hypertension in this study is the condition of someone who
had a systolic blood pressure 140 mmHg or diastolic 90mmHg or both. It said
hypertension if previously has been diagnosed with hypertension, or are in the
treatment of hypertension. For respondents who have never been diagnosed with
hypertension, diagnosis is done by taking the average blood pressure readings at
two or more times clinical visits.
The results showed that the factors that have a significant relationship and a
risk of hypertension is genetic (p = 0,019;RP = 1,417; IK 95% 1,069-1,877), lack
of exerciseor activity (p = 0,017; RP = 1,424; IK 95% 1,069-1,895), and level of
stress (p <0,0001; RP = 2,043; IK 95% 1,543-2,704). While factors that do not
have a significant relationship and not be a risk of hypertension is gender,
smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and obesity.
