Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension and diabetes, are the leading causes of death among the elderly in Indonesia. To address this issue, a community service program was conducted in the working area of the Ariodilla Health Center, Palembang, focusing on NCD screening and health education through senior exercise. The program was attended by 45 elderly individuals who underwent health screenings, including blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid measurements. The results showed that 15.5% of the elderly were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 75.8% had high cholesterol, and 24.4% had elevated uric acid levels. In addition, senior exercise sessions were conducted to improve physical fitness. This program successfully increased the knowledge and awareness of the elderly regarding NCDs, the importance of regular health check-ups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the future, similar programs are expected to be expanded to reach more elderly individuals, aiming to prevent serious complications from NCDs.

Hypertension is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors which is the main cause of death in the world, especially in the elderly. Maximizing the utilization of elderly health posts is one strategy in controlling hypertension in the elderly, but the limited knowledge and skills of elderly health cadres, especially in managing hypertension, make the implementation of elderly health posts less than optimal. Sumur Gunung Elderly Health Post is one of the elderly health posts that routinely runs in Sumurejo Village, but services are still limited to measuring blood pressure, weight, and height, educational services still depend on the health center, there is no exercise, and there are no special provisions for the PMT menu. This is due to the limited knowledge and skills of the cadres. The results of BP examinations on 20 elderly people registered at the Sumur Gunung Elderly Posyandu showed that 35% (7 out of 20 elderly people) had blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg. The questionnaire results showed that 46% of elderly people had not regulated their diet, 75% of elderly people had a habit of drinking coffee, 80% of elderly people had not limited the amount of salt consumed, 50% of elderly people smoked, 60% of elderly people did not know how to treat hypertension. Based on this background, the STIKES Kesdam IV/Diponegoro Community Service Team carried out an activity entitled "IbM Empowerment of Antihypertension Cadres at the Sumur Gunung Elderly Posyandu". The activities included field visits, refreshing cadres, mentoring posyandu, hypertension education, and utilization of cucumber infusion water. The target outputs were to achieve increased knowledge and skills of cadres so that they were empowered in efforts to control hypertension, publication of community service results in national journals, and electronic media. The results of this activity obtained 35% of elderly people were detected to have blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg, there was an increase in knowledge and skills of cadres in implementing elderly posyandu according to standards, and the use of cucumber infused water to reduce hypertension in the elderly.

Hypertension is a state of high blood pressure when at rest the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg and above or the diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg and above after repeated measurements. Because hypertension has several causes, one of which is age. An elderly person is someone who is 60 years old, where the individual has experienced the aging or aging process. When you get older, the most common thing that happens is stress. Stress is a condition produced by environmental changes that are perceived as challenging, threatening or damaging to a person's balance or dynamic state. Because music is a rhythm that can bring an atmosphere and it is believed that music can calm the mind, especially classical music, and the effect of classical music can reduce stress. This study aims to determine the effect of classical music therapy on changes in stress levels in elderly people with hypertension in the Rw 005 Sawangan Baru area in 2023. The population in this study was 30 elderly people, and with a sample of 15 respondents. This research design uses pre-experimental with a one group pretest posttest design approach. The way to collect data is to use the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 42) questionnaire as a tool to measure stress levels. The results of the research showed that the average blood pressure before classical music therapy was 160/100 MmHg, then after classical music therapy it was found to be 130/80 MmHg, meanwhile the stress level in the elderly before and after classical music therapy morning mood was the same as The average P - value or sig value is 0.000, which means less than p <0.05 by using the Paired Simple T-Test statistical test and stating that the hypothesis Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) is accepted and Ho (Null Hypothesis) is rejected by getting a significant change in before and after giving classical music therapy. It can be concluded that there is an influence of classical music therapy on stress levels in elderly people with hypertension.
