<p><strong>Background:</strong> Hypertension is a highly common health issue worldwide and is often referred to as "the silent killer" because it is frequently underreported, leaving sufferers unaware of their condition. Recent data from 2023 indicate that approximately 1.28 billion adults aged 30 to 79 years suffer from hypertension.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge levels and adherence to antihypertensive medication among the elderly in Penumping Village, Gowongan Subdistrict, Jetis District, Yogyakarta.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The study employed a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted in Penumping Village, Gowongan Subdistrict, Jetis District, Yogyakarta, over a period of three months from March 5, 2024, to June 25, 2024. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique, involving 103 elderly individuals with hypertension who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments used were the Hypertension Fact Questionnaire (HFQ) and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The study found that 54 respondents (52.4%) had moderate knowledge, 23 respondents (22.3%) had high knowledge, and 26 respondents (25.2%) had low knowledge. Regarding medication adherence, 66 respondents (64.1%) were non-adherent, while 37 respondents (35.9%) were adherent. The Chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.001 &lt; 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge levels and adherence to antihypertensive medication among the elderly in Penumping Village, Gowongan Subdistrict, Jetis District, Yogyakarta.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a relationship between knowledge levels and adherence to antihypertensive medication among the elderly in Penumping Village, Gowongan Subdistrict, Jetis District, Yogyakarta. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct studies related to other factors that may influence adherence to antihypertensive medication, such as motivation, behavior, support from healthcare providers, family support, the number of medications consumed, and health education provided to elderly individuals with hypertension.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong><em> hypertension, medication adherence, elderly, knowledge</em></p>

<p><strong>Background</strong>: The incidence of abortion is clinically stated to be around 15-20% of all pregnancies. On average, there are 114 cases of abortion every hour and can approach 50%. Factors that are thought to be associated with the incidence of abortion are fetal, maternal, and external factors.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: Knowing the magnitude of the risk of abortion in mothers with a previous history of abortion and other factors that affect the incidence of abortion, namely maternal age at pregnancy, parity, and pregnancy distance.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Observational study with case control design at Yogyakarta Private Hospital. There were 50 cases (abortion with gestational age &lt;20 weeks) and 100 randomly drawn controls (at term labor). Univariate, bivariate analysis with Chi Square at the level of significance p&lt;0.05, 95% CI. Multivariate analysis of logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratio and 95% CI of the risk of history of abortion on the incidence of abortion.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mothers with a previous history of abortion had a lower risk of having an abortion than mothers who had never had an abortion (OR = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.17–0.90). Factors that significantly increased the risk of abortion were maternal age at pregnancy &lt;20 or &gt;35 years (OR = 2.69; 95% CI: 1.17-6.16), high parity (OR = 11.15; 95% CI: 1.32-93.99), and pregnancy spacing that was too close or far apart (OR = 3.30; 95% CI: 1.48-7.35).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: A history of abortion was found to be a protective factor for the incidence of abortion and requires further study to understand its mechanism.&nbsp;</p> <p>Key words: <em>history of abortion</em>, <em>incidence of abortion</em>, <em>risk factors</em>, <em>case control</em></p>
