Abstract Elderly is an age group that is prone to health problems. This problem increases as a person gets older. The increasing age experienced by the elderly causes all systems and functions to decrease. One of the functions that have decreased is the physiological function. This decrease in function gives rise to non-communicable and communicable diseases. Some of the non-communicable diseases experienced by the elderly are hypertension, arthritis, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. High blood pressure is an increase in blood pressure in the arteries. In general, hypertension is an asymptomatic condition, in which abnormally high pressure in the arteries leads to increased risk of stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, heart attack, and heart damage. Potassium content in this fruit serves to balance water levels in the body, lowers blood pressure and helps carry oxygen to the brain. The purpose of this study was the effect of consuming Ambon banana juice on reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension in the Samudrah Health Center Work Area, North Aceh Regency in 2022.

Abstract

Abstract

Elderly is an age group that is prone to health problems. This problem increases as a person gets older. The increasing age experienced by the elderly causes all systems and functions to decrease. One of the functions that have decreased is the physiological function. This decrease in function gives rise to non-communicable and communicable diseases. Some of the non-communicable diseases experienced by the elderly are hypertension, arthritis, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. High blood pressure is an increase in blood pressure in the arteries. In general, hypertension is an asymptomatic condition, in which abnormally high pressure in the arteries leads to increased risk of stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, heart attack, and heart damage. Potassium content in this fruit serves to balance water levels in the body, lowers blood pressure and helps carry oxygen to the brain. The purpose of this study was the effect of consuming Ambon banana juice on reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension in the Samudrah Health Center Work Area, North Aceh Regency in 2022. The population in this study was 193 who suffered from hypertension, from 31 areas of the Samudrah Health Center. The number of samples is 66. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. Based on the results of the study, systolic blood pressure before and after with a Z value of -6.851, p value 0.000 <0.05, which means there is an effect before and after drinking Ambon banana juice, while the value of diastolic blood pressure before and after with a Z value of -7.501, p value 0.000<0.05, which means that there is an effect before and after drinking Ambon banana juice Keywords:Elderly, Hypertension, Ambon Banana Juice
