Hypertension is more prone to attack the elderly as they get older, so that it has the potential to cause hardening of the arteries. This hardening reduces the flexibility of the large arteries and aorta, making the elderly more susceptible to developing high blood pressure. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge of covid-19 and the level of anxiety among elderly people who have hypertension in RW 09 of the gateway residential area of Pamengkang, Pamengkang Community Health Center in 2020. The design of this study used a quantitative description of the cross sectional approach.
