Abstract

Hypertension is a significant public health problem and is one of the main causes of premature death worldwide Hypertension exercise is one of the interventions for preventing and managing hypertension that can reduce blood pressure. This research aimed to identify the effect of Asmed Lasti Exercises on the blood pressure of the elderly at nursing home. The population in this study were hypertension sufferers who were at the Tresna Werdha Budi Sejahtera II nursing home. Samples were included as many as 30 people taken randomly. The results indicated that this exercise had no effect on population who took part in this exercise. This indicated result is likely influenced by the consumption of fatty and high-salt foods such as fried foods, vegetables with coconut milk, salted fish, etc, in their lifestyle. It is highly recommended that nursing home staffs regulate the members’ diet pattern and exercise schedule.
