Abstract

The increasing older adult population requires promotive and preventive strategies that focus not only on physical health but also on mental well-being as an essential component of Healthy Ageing. This community service program aimed to implement a Healthy Ageing initiative through health screening, health education, and elderly exercise to support the mental well-being of older adults at an elderly integrated health post (Posyandu Lansia) in Perhentian Marpoyan Village, Marpoyan Damai District, Pekanbaru City. A participatory approach was employed, including coordination with community partners, health screening consisting of blood pressure measurement and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment, education on Healthy Ageing, elderly exercise sessions, and interactive discussions. The program involved 33 participants, predominantly women (87.88%) and young-old adults aged 60–74 years (54.55%). Health screening results indicated that most participants had hypertension (78.79%), while BMI assessment showed that 51.52% had normal nutritional status, followed by overweight (27.27%), obesity (12.12%), and underweight (9.09%). All activities were implemented successfully and received positive responses from participants. The program improved participants' awareness of the importance of regular health screening and physical activity while encouraging social interaction as an effort to promote mental well-being. This Healthy Ageing initiative demonstrates the potential of an integrated community-based promotive and preventive approach to support the physical health, mental well-being, and quality of life of older adults.
