IntroductionThere is a high prevalence of hypertension in the elderly, as evidenced by clinical and health behavioral policies. Still, there are uncertainties on the treatment of hypertension, especially treatment of the very elderly. These considerations have largely been ignored in clinical trials due to concern regarding contamination by other pathologies that are difficult to frame and manage.Methods We performed an effective and ample literature review and provided reflections on the Consensus Conference ACCF/AHA 2011 on the principle types of hypertension found in the elderly. We also considered the associated principle pathologies for various treatments and related organs.Discussion Even if the goal of treatment of elevated blood pressure in the elderly is same as in younger population, it is no longer certain that a target systolic blood pressure (SBP) <140 mmHg should be persistently reached in the very elderly. It is important to note that for all studies these values have never been reached. In the treatment of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) the preferred target is a SBP >160 mmHg. Treating hypertension in the elderly and very elderly reduces the risk of stroke and heart failure, though the evidence is inconclusive for all-cause mortality.Conclusion Hypertension in the elderly is very common and needs to be treated with criteria that consider the patient's age, comorbidities, lifestyle and adherence. Above all, in the very elderly, therapeutic treatment should be personalized according to the above criteria. Where possible pharmaceutical therapy should be limited at the preference of healthy lifestyle changes (physical activity, diet, etc.).

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with an increasing incidence, especially in the elderly. One of the reasons is that many sufferers do not routinely even take medication after experiencing hypertension. In addition to medication, dietary factors can also increase the risk of an increase in blood pressure. Community service is expected to be able to help health problems independently. Community empowerment is carried out by introducing regional conditions, introspective surveys, deliberation, participatory planning, implementation of activities, and sustainability development. The implementation is carried out by providing health education about hypertension diet and medication adherence by using poster media entitled “CAT HITAM” during a pandemic, before and after the activity, pretest-posttest is carried out to determine dietary knowledge and medication adherence for hypertension sufferers, Health Education regarding activities that can be done, recommended food consumption, and medication adherence that hypertension sufferers must adhere to during a pandemic. The pretest-posttest results showed differences in knowledge of diet and medication before and after health education with a p-value <0.05. Dietary problems from the results of community assessments are mostly about the limits of salt consumption for hypertension and treatment. Most of the respondents said they stopped treatment because they felt they had no complaints. It needs cooperation from various parties to continuously motivate the elderly to follow the rules of diet and treatment of hypertension.

Background: The second derivative of the finger plethysmogram (SDPTG) comprises five waves termed a to e. The magnitudes of waves b-e are normalized by that of wave a for within- and between-patient comparison. In the present study, affects of meal ingestion for SDPTG in young and elderly subjects are examined. Subjects and methods: Mean arterial pressure and SDPTG before and after meal ingestion in young and elderly subjects were measured. For young subjects, stroke volume and pulse rate were also measured, and the total peripheral resistance (TPR) of the blood vessels was analyzed. Relationship between TPR and the ratio of the peak of SDPTG in young subjects was also analyzed. Results: In young subjects, postprandial d/a was significantly larger and TPR was smaller than before intake and was linearly and significantly correlated with TPR. An increase in the postprandial d/a was also observed in the elderly subjects who were not undergoing hypertension treatment. However, this increase was not observed in elderly subjects who were treated for hypertension. Conclusions: Change in d/a is considered to be an index of change in TPR. TPR is considered to be decreased by agents for treatment of hypertension, and meal ingestion does not appear to further decrease TPR. These results are considered to be useful for understanding cardiodynamics surrounding meal ingestion.
