This study aims to describe the status of blood pressure and blood sugar levels
among elderly people at the Sinduadi Health Center. A descriptive quantitative
method with a cross-sectional design was used, involving 97 elderly
respondents selected through total sampling. Data collection included direct
measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as random blood
glucose levels. The results showed that the average age of respondents was
67.36 ± 6.55 years, with an average systolic blood pressure of 133.63 ± 16.66
mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 75.12 ± 11.50 mmHg. The mean blood
glucose level was 140.03 ± 70.83 mg/dL. Most respondents were classified as
pre-hypertensive (49.5%), followed by hypertensive (30.9%) and normal
(19.6%), while for blood glucose, 62.9% were normal, 22.7% pre-diabetic,
and 14.4% diabetic. The findings indicate that elderly people at the Sinduadi
Health Center tend to experience increased blood pressure and blood glucose
levels with age. This pattern emphasizes the importance of routine monitoring
of blood pressure and blood sugar levels and the implementation of health
education programs for lifestyle modification to prevent the progression of
non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus
among the elderly population.
