Introduction: High blood pressure (HBP) is the main cardiovascular risk factor, it is more prevalent in the older adult population, and the prevalence can vary between ethnic groups. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of HBP, knowledge, treatment and control in population aged ≥60 years, resident in Colombia, according to their ethnic condition. Methods: Population sample selected by multistage sampling. Ethnicity was defined based on skin color. HBP was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140, and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, and/or the participants’ self-report. Controlled HBP at a blood pressure value <140/90, knowledge and treatment were identified by self-report. Results: 23,694 adults aged ≥ 60 years were included, of which 54.5%, 34.5% and 10.9% were respectively identified as having light, medium or dark skin color; 54.5% were women, and 78.1% resided in urban areas. The standardized prevalence of HBP, by age, was 57.7% (95% CI: 55.2 - 60.2); 51.4% (95% CI: 47.3-55. 5), in men; and 62.9% (60.9- 64.9), in women. The standardized prevalence for light, medium and dark skin in men was 53.2% (95% CI: 48.7-57.7), 49.6% (44.5-54.7), and 49.4% (95% CI: 41.0-57.8) respectively; and in women was 62.5% (95% CI: 60.5-64 , 5), 61.7% (95% CI: 57.8- 65.6), and 69.9% (95% CI: 63.6-76.2) respectively. 98% of the population received treatment, and 93.9% were aware of HBP diagnosis. 42.5% of men and 55.5% of women with HBP were under control. Only 21.8% performed regular physical activity. Conclusion: Half of the adult population aged over 60 years suffers from HBP; the prevalence is higher in women particularly in dark-skinned women. It is necessary to develop policies to increase physical activity in the elderly.

Yogyakarta City

Hypertension is still one of the health problems in Indonesia with a high blood pressure population prevalence of 34.11%. Based on data from the Yogyakarta City Health Office in 2018 hypertension cases were found as many as 18,945 cases. In the Health Profile of Banguntapan III Health Center in 2016, hypertension was number 1 of the top 10 diseases based on visits to the Banguntapan III Health Center. The increase in this case can be caused by several factors, namely the lack of knowledge, attitudes that people have about hypertension so that people have a low behavior to make efforts to prevent hypertension. Health education about hypertension with counseling methods and poster media is one way to increase knowledge. The purpose of this activity is to find out the description of knowledge about hypertension through counseling at the Elderly Posyandu of Tegaltandan. The method used is interactive counseling for the elderly in Tegaltandan directly with poster media. The results obtained were health counseling activities at the Posyandu Elderly running well and smoothly, participants actively gave questions and followed the activities from start to finish conducive.
