Abstract

The increase in life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the elderly population in Indonesia, where the proportion reached 11.82% by 2023. The elderly are a vulnerable group to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricaemia, which are the leading causes of morbidity and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to improve elderly knowledge regarding NCDs and identify health risk factors through health education and screening activities. A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 32 elderly participants at the Himo-Himo Social Institution for the Elderly in Ternate City. Health education was provided, followed by screening for blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid levels. Data were analysed descriptively, while differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention were assessed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.000; t = -4.256). Screening results revealed that 84.4% of participants had elevated systolic blood pressure, indicating a high risk of hypertension, while 75.0% showed abnormal diastolic blood pressure. In addition, 56.3% of participants had elevated blood glucose levels, suggesting a risk of diabetes mellitus, and 71.9% had elevated uric acid levels, indicating hyperuricemia. Health education and NCD screening effectively improved elderly knowledge and facilitated early detection of health problems. These activities are essential and should be implemented routinely as part of preventive and promotive health efforts to improve the quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Adolescents are vulnerable to nutritional problems due to increased nutritional requirements during rapid growth and development. One of the common nutritional problems among adolescent girls is Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), which may affect their future health and reproductive function. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge about balanced nutrition and conduct early detection of nutritional risk, particularly CED, among students of Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School, Ternate City. The activity was conducted on November 8, 2025, involving 31 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX. The methods included balanced nutrition education through lectures and interactive discussions, followed by nutritional status screening using anthropometric measurements, including body weight, height, and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) among female students. Knowledge improvement was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires and analyzed using the paired t-test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 7.10 before the intervention to 8.48 after the intervention, with a mean difference of 1.387 and a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002). Anthropometric assessment showed that the average MUAC among female students was 22.08 cm, with 5 students (38.5%) identified as being at risk of CED based on MUAC measurements. Conclusion, balanced nutrition education effectively improved students’ knowledge, and nutritional screening is important for early identification of nutritional risks. Routine nutritional monitoring in schools is recommended to support adolescent health and prevent future nutritional problems.
