Hypertensive patients have numerous complications that can result in disability or death. To <br />avoid hypertension, the community needs to be educated on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Cadres from <br />Elderly Integrated Health Centers have the potential to actively promote and prevent hypertension, heart, <br />and blood vessel disease in the community. It is necessary to involve the elderly Integrated Health Centre <br />cadres in improving the level of public health. The Elderly Cadre Empowerment Program in Hypertension <br />Management through Physical Activity seeks to improve the knowledge and skills of the elderly Integrated <br />Health Centre administrators in promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing Hypertension, Heart, and <br />Blood Vessel Disease. This community service activity is conducted through training that includes <br />lectures, two-way discussions, and a 20-minute brisk walking session, followed by assignments in the <br />field. Participants included 23 elderly Integrated Health Centre cadres and Rancamanyar residents. <br />Activities completed three times in one month. This series of assistance includes providing assistance <br />such as hypertension education and brisk walking, fast walking demonstrations, and participating in a 20-<br />minute brisk walk with the community. The achievement of increasing participants' knowledge of <br />hypertension and brisk walking can be said to be good based on the evaluation, and the community can <br />do a 20-minute brisk walk according to the procedure.</p> ER -
