The population of the elderly people is increasing from time to time and there is a change in the diseases pattern from infectious diseases to degenerative diseases. One of degenerative diseases that frequently occur in the elderly people is an increased blood pressure or hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship between saturated fat intake and blood pressure in elderly women. This type of research was quantitative using a cross sectional approach. Samples were taken with a total sampling technique of 40 subjects. Processing data was using The Pearson correlation test. Based on the results of the analysis test, there was no relations between saturated fat intake with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (p-value=0,183 and 0,333). This was because many factors affect blood pressure. The conclusion of this study was that there was no relationship between saturated fat intake with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.

The prevalence of cases of hypertension is very high in the elderly, namely 60% -80% at the age above 65 years. The number of elderly people suffering from hypertension at Budi Luhur Jambi PSTW in November 2018 was 22 elderly and had received regular hypertension medication every day but the elderly blood pressure was still high. The purpose of this study is to see whether there is any effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. This study used the Quasi Experiment method with the design of Non Equivalent Control Group Pretest-Posttest, with random sampling technique, the number of samples was 20 elderly consisting of 10 elderly experimental groups given hypertension drugs as well as progressive muscle relaxation therapy and 10 elderly control groups who only given hypertension medication. This research was conducted at Budi Luhur PSTW Jambi on 28 January-2 February 2019. Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is given once a day every morning for six consecutive days. Based on the analysis using the Dependent T test in the experimental group, it was found that systolic blood pressure was p value 0.0001 and diastolic blood pressure was p value 0.002 <(0.05). the results of the analysis using the Independent T test found differences in the blood pressure of the experimental group and control where systolic blood pressure p value 0.031 <(0.05), while the diastolic blood pressure p value 0.009 <(0.05), it can be concluded that there significant to the blood pressure of elderly people with hypertension before and after being given progressive muscle relaxation therapy. This study is expected to be a new program at PSTW Budi Luhur Jambi to reduce high blood pressure in elderly people who suffer from hypertension.

Resumo: Hipertensão Arterial é definida como elevação da pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica acima de 140/90mmHg, respectivamente. Estima-se que mais de 50% dos pacientes acima de 60 anos tenham hipertensão, o que deixa essa população sob risco aumentado de doenças em órgãos alvo como coração, rins e cérebro, aumentando também a morbimortalidade desta população. Diversos estudos comprovam que a terapia anti-hipertensiva reduz o risco e a morbimortalidade cardiovascular, cerebral e renal. No presente trabalho foi realizado um estudo transversal, observacional, prospectivo, onde foram avaliadas as medidas da pressão arterial de 24 pacientes idosos do grupo de 70 pacientes hipertensos do ambulatório do Programa Saúde da Família da cidade de Mata, interior do RS. Foi utilizada estatística descritiva e distribuição por freqüência, além do teste “t” de Student para comparação de médias, com nível de significância de 5% para análise dos dados. A pressão sistólica variou entre 120 e 180mmHg, a diastólica entre 60 e 100mmHg. Em 17 (70,83%) dos pacientes não houve associação da hipertensão com outra doença crônica, em quatro (16,22%) havia associado diabete melito tipo II e três (12,50%) tinham dislipidemia. Predominou o sexo feminino em 75% (18) dos pacientes estudados. A pressão sistólica estava acima de 140mmHg em 10 (41,67%) dos pacientes entre os quais havia quatro (16,67%) com a diastólica acima de 90mmHg. Dois quintos dos idosos, mesmo sob tratamento ambulatorial, não apresentava controle da hipertensão arterial adequado. Palavras-chave: Hipertensão. Idoso. Controle. Abstract: Hypertension is defined as an elevation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure above 140/90mmHg. More than 50% of patients over 60 years have hypertension, which increases the risk of cerebrovascular, kidney and heart diseases in this population. The anti-hypertensive therapy reduces risks according several studies. This cross sectional hypertension study of the elderly patients over 60 years old analyzed blood pressure in two opportunities separated by two days. Twenty-four patients had the blood pressure measured among 70 patients. Results: the systolic blood pressure were between 120-190mmHg, the diastolic blood pressure between 60-100mmHg. Eighteen (75%) were women, 17 (70.83%) does not have other chronic diseases, four (16.22%) had diabetes type II, three (12.50%) were dislipidemic. In ten (41.67%) patients the systolic blood pressure was over 140mmHg and four (16.67%) had the diastolic blood pressure over 90mmHg. The hypertension was uncontrolled in two fifty of elderly patients. Keywords: Hypertension. Elderly. Control.

Background: There is an emerging global increase of metabolic syndrome prevalence due to increasing of obesity. Obesity and metabolic syndrome beginning in childhood progressing into adulthood.  Dietary saturated fat and fiber intake play a role in etiology in obesity.Objective: This study was to examine the associations between dietary saturated fat intake, fiber intake and components of metabolic syndrome among obese adolescents.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted to 57 obese students aged 13-15 years old of SMP Nasima and SMP Kesatrian 2 Semarang, based on body mass index for ages. Subjects of this study were collected consecutively. Data were collected through waist circumference and blood pressure measurements, fasting biochemical serum analysis and dietary intake assessment.  Rank Spearman and Pearson correlation test was used to examine the associations between of dietary saturated fat and fiber intake to components of metabolic syndrome.Results: There were 46 subjects (80,7 %) had metabolic syndrome and 11 subjects (19,3 %) had the pre-metabolic syndrome. There was no association between dietary saturated fat intake and waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose levels and blood pressure. Fiber intake was negatively associated with blood triglyceride levels (r = -0.340; p = 0.01).Conclusion: There was no association between dietary saturated fat intake and components of metabolic syndrome. There was an association between dietary fiber intake with blood triglyceride levels. Dietary fiber intake has an important role in lipid metabolism.

Background: Hypertension is a highly prevalent health problem which incidence is greatest among the elderly. Hypertension may increase creatinine level and leads to other health problems like diabetes mellitus, kidney damage, and cardiovascular disease. Wrist circumference is a simple anthropometric measurement that can be used to identify hypertension and increasing level of serum creatinine.Objectives: To analyze the correlation of wrist circumference with blood pressure and creatinine level among the elderly.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a purposive sampling method. Subjects of this study were 84 women aged 60 years old or above at Unit Rehabilitasi Sosial Pucang Gading Semarang. The independent variable of this study was wrist circumference, and the dependent variables were systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and creatinine level. The result was analyzed using the Spearman-rho test.Results: The participants of this research were 49% women aged 60-65 years old, with an average age was 65.5 years old. The prevalence of hypertension was 61.9%. Most hypertension incidence in this research was caused by high systolic blood pressure (50%), and the rest was caused by high diastolic blood pressure (3.9%) and both (46.1%). The level of creatinine was normal with an average level was 0.75 mg/dL. There was no correlation of wrist circumference with systolic blood pressure systolic (r=0.15; p=0.19), diastolic blood pressure (r=0.1; p=0.38), and creatinine serum (r=0.18; p=0.09) among elderly.Conclusions: There was no correlation of wrist circumference with blood pressure and creatinine level among the elderly.

To evaluate the effect of age and other risk factors for atherosclerosis on arterial blood velocity, carotid arteries in 179 healthy individuals ranging from 21 to 102 years old were examined using color Doppler ultrasonography. Velocity in common and internal carotid arteries decreased consecutively from young adults to very elderly people except for peak internal carotid artery velocity. Peak common carotid artery velocity in the elderly (≥ 65 years old) people was inversely associated with age and diastolic blood pressure and directly associated with pulse pressure. Minimum velocity of common carotid artery was inversely correlated with age and diastolic blood pressure in the elderly people. In elderly group, peak internal carotid artery velocity correlated only with serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Minimum internal carotid artery velocity correlated inversely with systolic blood pressure in adults and diastolic blood pressure in elderly people. Blood velocity in the very elderly population approaches the critical level for thrombogenesis.

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang : Hipertensi banyak menyebabkan morbiditas pada setiap orang khususnya kepada lansia. Penanganan hipertensi dapat dilakukan dengan memperbaiki pola hidup serta dengan terapi non farmakologis yaitu dengan melakukan latihan fisik. Latihan fisik atau senam dapat membantu kekuatan pompa jantung agar bertambah, sehingga aliran darah bisa kembali lancar sehingga dapat meningkatkan faal jantung dan menurunkan tekanan darah. Adanya peningkatan tekanan darah pada lansia di Posyandu Lansia Pucangsawit sebanyak 44 orang yang belum pernah melakukan aktifitas fisik atau senam. Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis pengaruh senam bugar lansia terhadap tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi. Metode Penelitian : Quasy eksperimental study dengan one group pretest-posttest design. Hasil Penelitian ; Hasil analisis menunjukkan tekanan darah sistolik pre test dan post test pada tabel didapatkan nilai p value 0,000 (p < 0,05), sedangkan dari hasil analisis pengukuran tekanan darah diastolik pre test dan post test didapatkan nilai p value 0,059 (p > 0,05). Simpulan : Ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai tekanan darah sistolik pre test dan post test setelah dilakukan senam bugar lansia. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan nilai tekanan darah diastolik pre test dan post test setelah dilakukan senam bugar lansia. Kata kunci : Senam bugar, lansia, hipertensi, tekanan darahABSTRACT REDUCTION OF BLOOD PRESSURE THROUGH ELDERLY FIT EXERCISES AMONG WITH HYPERTENSION Background: Hypertension causes a lot of morbidity in everyone, especially the elderly. handling of hypertension can be done by improving lifestyle and non-pharmacological therapy, namely by doing physical exercise. physical exercise or gymnastics can help increase the strength of the heart's pump, so that blood flow can return smoothly so that it can increase heart function and lower blood pressure. there was an increase in blood pressure in the elderly at Posyandu Lansia Pucangsawit as many as 44 people who had never done physical activity or gymnastics. Objective: To analyze the effect of exercise fitness on the elderly on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Research Methods: Quasy experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. Research result ; The analysis showed that the systolic blood pressure pre test and post test in the table obtained p value 0,000 (p <0.05), while the results of the analysis of diastolic blood pressure measurements pre test and post test obtained p value of 0.059 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the systolic blood pressure values of the pre-test and post-test after doing fitness exercises for the elderly. There were no significant differences in the values of diastolic blood pressure pre-test and post-test after doing fitness exercises for the elderly.Keywords : Fit Exercise, elderly, hypertension, blood pressure
