Objective: This study was to determine the correlation between stress levels, physical activity, consumption of high-sodium foods and blood pressure in the elderly (55-64 years) at UPTD Puskesmas Jatiasih, Bekasi City. Research Methods: This research is a cross-sectional approach, with data analysis used is the chi-square statistical test. The research sample was taken using the calculation method using G*power.

DASS 21 stress level instrument, PASE physical activity, consumption of foods high in sodium Semi-FFQ. Result: of the study that Correlation between high sodium food consumption and systolic blood pressure p value = 0,001, correlation between high sodium food consumption and diastolic blood pressure p value = 0,823, stress level correlation with systolic blood pressure p value = 0,095, stress level correlation with diastolic blood pressure p value = 0,573, physical activity correlation with systolic blood pressure p value = 0,328, physical activity correlation with diastolic blood preassure p value = 0,345. Conclusion: from the result of the analysis of high sodium food consumtion, there is a signicant correlation between high sodium food consumption and systolic blood pressure in the elderly with a p value = 0,001 (p<0,05) at the UPTD Puskesmas Jatiasih, Bekasi City.]]>
