Abstract:
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure are important indicators of cardiovascular health and are often influenced by age factors. This study aims to analyze the influence of age groups on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients. The age group is divided into three categories: children (0-18 years old), adults (19-59 years old), and the elderly (60 years and older). The method used was One Way ANOVA to determine the average difference in blood pressure between age groups, and MANOVA to evaluate the simultaneous influence of age on systolic and diastolic blood pressure simultaneously. The results of the One Way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant difference in systolic blood pressure between age groups, and there was no difference in the average diastolic blood pressure in the three age groups. Meanwhile, MANOVA did not show significant differences simultaneously in both types of blood pressure between age groups. This research is expected to contribute to health policy in age-based hypertension management.
