The increasing number of elderly individuals in Indonesia, driven by advancements in health and socio-economic conditions, has significant impacts on various aspects of life, particularly health. Elderly individuals are more susceptible to chronic diseases such as hypertension, which is a leading cause of morbidity. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of the elderly regarding hypertension and its prevention through educational outreach conducted in RT 11/RW X, Bukit Tunggal Subdistrict, Jekan Raya District, Palangka Raya City. The methods used included lectures, interactive discussions, and blood pressure measurements. A total of 50 elderly participants were involved in the activity. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The results showed an increase in adequate knowledge from 36% to 84% after the intervention. Blood pressure screenings were also conducted, and at-risk individuals were referred to the local health center. This program proved effective in enhancing awareness and knowledge of hypertension among the elderly and promoting sustainable healthy lifestyle practices.
