Abstract
Background of the study : As we get older, the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is increasing. Hypertension is often at the age of 45-65 years because at that age many people can not do a healthy lifestyle. Goal : This study aims to determine the factors associated with hypertension in the elderly in Indonesia. Method : This study uses secondary data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 data with cross sectional study design. The number of samples was 5401 with the inclusion criteria of respondents aged (45-59 years) who had complete data on the variables studied namely: age, gender, smoking habits, consuming fast food, physical activity and BMI. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Result : The results showed that age (AOR (54-54) - (45-49) = 1.36, 95% CI 1.16-1.60 p = 0.000 AOR (55-59) - (45-49) = 1 , 62, 95% CI 1.37-1.92 p = 0.000), women (AOR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.42-2.14 p = 0.000), smoking status (AOR ever smoked = 1, 98, 95% CI 1.48-2.66 p = 0,000 AOR Never Smoking = 1.49 95% CI 1.19-1.87 p = 0,000) Obesity (AOR = 1.96, 95% CI 1.62-2.38 p = 0.000) has a significant relationship with the incidence of pre-elderly hypertension in Indonesia. Conclusion: There is a need for a hypertension prevention program carried out by the ministry of health to the community through existing health workers. And it is necessary to strengthen the delivery of information related to health promotion about the prevention of hypertension in the pre-elderly in the community.
