---

Introduction: Aging is a condition that must occur in a person’s life. Increasing age will result in changes that occur, which is a decrease in the cardiovascular system, especially hypertension. Hypertension is also known as the silent killer disease because it rarely causes symptoms and is a non-communicable disease (NCD). Increased blood pressure will affect the ability of perfusion to body tissues, including the brain which functions as the body’s balance control centera center. When the body’s balance is reduced, it will result in the risk of falling. Hypertension that lasts for a long time and if not treated properly will cause damage to the blood vessels in the heart. Damage to the heart’s blood vessels will cause blood flow to the heart muscles to be obstructed. This can lead to a heart attack, which will increase the risk of falls. The purpose of this research was to determine whether there is relationship between hypertension and the risk of falls in the elderly. Methods: This research is a descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach, using the chi-square test. The sample amounted to 82 responden who are taken based on inclusion criteria using purposive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used were a digital blood pressure meter and a fall risk assessment questionnaire. Results: Statistical test results show that there is a relationship between hypertension and falls risk in the elderly, with P Value (0,001) < alpha (0,05). Conclusion: High blood pressure can lead to the risk of falls in the elderly.
