Abstract

Hypertension, often referred to as a “silent killer,” is a major chronic health problem among older adults. At Jayapura Utara Community Health Center, hypertension is one of the predominant health problems; however, data on blood pressure severity among older patients remain limited. This study aimed to describe the distribution of blood pressure status among older adults at this facility. A quantitative descriptive study with a retrospective design was conducted among 37 older adults selected through total sampling based on medical records from May to October 2025. Variables included age, sex, residence, and blood pressure status classified according to British Hypertension Society guidelines. Most respondents were aged 60–69 years (70.3%), female (67.6%), and residents of Gurabesi Urban Village (73.0%). Grade 1 and Grade 2 hypertension were the most frequent categories (21.6% each), followed by High Normal (16.2%), Optimal (13.5%), Normal (10.8%), and Grade 1 Isolated Systolic Hypertension (10.8%). The findings indicate that elevated blood pressure was common among older adults. Primary healthcare facilities should strengthen routine blood pressure screening and lifestyle modification programs through community-based health initiatives.
