    The main objective of this project was to conduct a systematic review of nursing interventions in the promotion and prevention of hypertension in older adults. Based on the PRISMA 2020 methodology and included 30 articles meticulously selected from 2019 to 2024 from the PubMed, SciELO and Redalyc databases. Were included however, studies published prior to 2019 were also considered, as they constitute fundamental theoretical references that have not been replaced by more recent evidence. Arterial hypertension is a health condition characterized by an increase in the force exerted by the blood against the arterial walls, resulting in excessive workload on the heart as it pumps blood throughout the body. This condition is predominant among older adults, who require information both to prevent its onset in those who have not yet developed it and to receive appropriate care to prevent complications in those already diagnosed with high blood pressure. Pharmacological treatment should always be combined with non-pharmacological measures, since even with good adherence to medication, the absence of healthy dietary habits, physical activity, and other lifestyle modifications may hinder health improvement and even lead to more severe complications. The results indicate that nursing interventions play a significant role in both health promotion and disease prevention, with a reduction in mortality rates observed at the local level. Unfortunately, this change is not reflected globally; However, despite this, campaigns continue, seeking to improve teaching techniques.
