By Mustaghfiroh L, Kartika RP, Widiastuti T

Elderly life is a period of decline in organ function, which can trigger the emergence of diseases, including chronic ones. Hypertension is the predominant disease in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the current incidence of hypertension in the elderly. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional approach. The population was all elderly people who underwent examinations at the Elderly Health Post II (Posyandu) in Kaliwungu Village, Kaliwungu District, Kudus Regency, from September 2025 to December 2025. Incidental sampling was used as the sampling technique. The data used in this study were secondary data based on examination record books at the Elderly Health Post II in Kaliwungu Village from September 2025 to December 2025. Data analysis used percentages and was presented in a frequency distribution table. The results showed that the majority of respondents had stage 2 hypertension, with blood pressure >140/>90 mmHg, both for each period from September 2025 to December 2025 and based on the elderly's age classification. It is hoped that further research will lead to efforts/interventions to reduce the incidence of hypertension and improve the health of the elderly.
