One way to control PTM through Posbindu PTM activities.

Method used quantitative correlation with a cross sectional approached. Population was residents aged 29-85 years with a sample of 83 people. Implementation included measuring blood pressure and monitoring blood cholesterol levels. This community service founded 36.1% of residents who not active used Posbindu PTM, majority (74.7%) were female, more than half (68.6%) showed abnormal blood pressure while results of blood cholesterol test were almost balanced between normal and abnormal results.
