The main aim of this study was to identify patterns of association between age and blood pressure and analyze their potential implications for the risk of cardiovascular disorders. The focus of blood pressure analysis is on systolic blood pressure (TDS). The research method involved collecting data on age, blood pressure, and disease history from 42 respondents in Hamlet VI Sonosewu, Kasihan, Bantul. All statistical analyses were performed using Ms. Excel. Statistical analysis is used to describe the pattern of relationships between these variables. The results of the correlation test showed that there is a relationship between age and blood pressure in the sample or population analyzed, which is confirmed by the ANOVA test (p-value: 0.002) and t-analysis test (p-value: 0.002), which produces a p-value &lt; alpha or significance value (0.050). The potential for cardiovascular disorders is known from the results of the chi-square test, the Pearson chi-square statistical value (0,732)&lt; the critical chi-square value (3,840). Based on these results, it can be concluded that in the context of this study. However, age cannot be the main factor determining blood pressure levels and is used as the only risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Factors such as disease history and lifestyle can be considered as other factors that influence blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular disorders.</em> <em>Blood pressure monitoring and appropriate preventive measures are essential, especially in the elderly age group</em></p> Bangkit Ina Ferawati, Mira Setiana Copyright (c) 2023 JURNAL KESEHATAN MERCUSUAR https://jurnal.mercubaktijaya.ac.id/index.php/mercusuar/article/view/403 Mon, 30 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Efektifitas Video Edukasi Pembuatan Mpasi 4 Bintang Terhadap Pengetahuan, Sikap Dan Keterampilan Orang Tua Dalam Pencegahan Stunting Pada Balita https://jurnal.mercubaktijaya.ac.id/index.php/mercusuar/article/view/405 <p>Stunting is a national problem related to chronic malnutrition which occurs due to multifactors including nutritional<br />intake, nutritional parenting, genetics, infectious diseases and hygiene.

Method in this care is that two pregnant women are divided into 2. Pregnant mother 1 is given Ambon bananas and the pregnant woman 2 was given boiled red beans for 14days, respondent 1 consumed 100 grams Ambon bananas/day and respondent 2 consumed 50grams boiled red beans every morning and evening with 3 hemoglobin level checks, first day, 7day and 14day. With SOAP management. Results show that Ambon bananas increase hemoglobin levels 1.7gr/dL and red beans increase hemoglobin levels 2.2gr/dL pregnant women with anemia. It can be concluded that there is a comparison of hemoglobin levels from giving these 2 interventions, 0.5gr/dL where red beans increase hemoglobin levels more quickly because their iron content is higher than Ambon bananas.
