The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) report from the Ministry of Health reveals a decrease in the prevalence of hypertension among Indonesians aged 18 and above in 2023.

This prevalence was calculated through blood pressure measurements. The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) recorded a hypertension prevalence of 34.1% in Indonesia. This has now decreased to 30.8% in 2023.

The Ministry of Health explains that among the productive age group (18-59 years) and the elderly (60 years and above), there's a disparity between respondents diagnosed with hypertension and those undergoing treatment or follow-up visits to healthcare facilities.

"The proportion of respondents regularly taking medication and making follow-up visits to healthcare facilities is lower than the proportion of respondents diagnosed with hypertension," wrote the Ministry of Health, as quoted on Friday (5/7/2024).

Specifically, in the 18-59 age group, 5.9% of respondents were diagnosed with hypertension. However, only 2.53% took medication regularly and 2.34% made follow-up visits.

Furthermore, in the over-60 age group, 22.9% were diagnosed. Only 11.9% took medication regularly and 11% made follow-up visits.

In the long term, hypertension contributes to disability. Hypertension is a contributing factor to disability in 22.2% of respondents aged over 15 years.
