Abstract: (23 Views)
Hypertension is a serious health problem and one of the most common diseases experienced by the elderly [1]. This condition is often triggered by physiological changes that occur with age. Poor management of hypertension in the elderly can lead to serious complications and even fatality [2]. Research has shown that hypertension can be significantly controlled with the right management approach [3]. Important factors in managing hypertension include knowledge of the condition, physical activity, a low-salt diet, adherence to medication, and managing stress [3–5]. Given these factors, there is a clear need for appropriate intervention methods to improve hypertension management in this population. The third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of a healthy and prosperous life is directly concerned with reducing the prevalence of hypertension in the elderly, as outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
