Background: Hypertension is a major public health challenge worldwide. It is acknowledged as an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly among the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and pattern of hypertension among the elderly in Osun state, Nigeria.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. The study involved 425 respondents aged 60 years and above selected randomly in five local government areas in Osun state. The blood pressure was measured (using a standardized Accoson® type pneumatic mercury sphygmomanometer); weight and height of the respondents were checked and recorded in mmHg, Kg and meters respectively. Data were presented using descriptive statistics, charts and frequency distribution table. Statistical association between categorical variables was assessed using Chi-square method at 5% level of significance.Results: Prevalence of hypertension among elderly was 44.7%. Among other factors, respondents’ body mass index BMI was found significantly associated with hypertension, p=0.009. However, prevalence of hypertension was higher for respondents that were; rural dwellers, female, not living with spouse, without viable source of income and engaging in little or no physical activity compared to their counterparts. Respondent’s BMI and sex were also found to be statistically significantly associated, p=0.011.Conclusions: Prevalence of hypertension was high among the elderly in this study. Health interventions aimed at reducing the diseases should encourage increased physical activities and incorporate financial empowerment schemes particularly for elderly women in rural settings.

6090 Background: Little is known about the cancer characteristics, treatment options and outcomes in the oldest subset of the elderly, those ≥ 80, who develop cancer. Methods: We employed a population-based, cross-sectional design utilizing the provincial cancer registry and administrative data augmented by clinic-specific retrospective chart review to study the demographics, treatment and outcomes of patients ≥ 80 diagnosed with cancer in the years 2002–2003 in Manitoba, Canada. We assessed treatment patterns for various subgroups (analyzed using chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to determine association, as appropriate) and associated survival. Results: Our cohort included 2,194 patients. This represented 20.8% of all incident cases. The median age was 84 (range: 80–102), with a slight preponderance of females (53%). As expected, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers were most common for males with breast, lung, and colorectal cancer being most common for females. Only 241 (10.9%) of the cohort were referred to the central cancer centre for consideration of ST which was less than the overall referral rate of 33%. Of those referred, 57% did not receive ST, 20% received palliative ST, and 23% received adjuvant/curative ST. The two year survival rates were statistically significant by treatment categories (not referred = 39%, referred but who did not receive ST = 39%, palliative ST = 27%, and adjuvant/curative ST = 76%,) (p<0.0001). The Charlson score for those patients referred who received ST was lower than those who did not receive ST (p<0.0001) Conclusions: Our data indicate that in patients ≥ 80 years of age with cancer, few are referred to the central cancer clinic for ST. Of those referred, patients who receive adjuvant/curative intent ST live longer then those not receiving ST. Lower Charlson scores (indicative of fewer comorbidities and better general health) were found more often in patients receiving ST. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The elderly population is currently increasing. Based on population projection data, it is estimated that in 2017 there are 23.66 million elderly people in Indonesia (9.03%). It is predicted that the number of elderly people in 2020 (27.08 million), 2025 (33.69 million), 2030 (40.95 million) and 2035 (48.19 million). Data obtained from cadres showed that the elderly had low awareness of joining the posyandu for the elderly. one cader said that the majority of the elderly rarely visit the posyandu for the elderly (only 40% are active). This research is a quantitative study with cross sectional design. The research was conducted at the elderly Posyandu in the Puskesmas Paal X Work Area with 36 respondents in December 2019-January 2020. Data were analyzed univariat and bivariat with the Chi Square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between family support and the utilization of the elderly posyandu, there was no relationship between education and distance from the house with the use of the elderly posyandu in the elderly posyandu in the working area of Puskesmas Paal X, Jambi City.
