Abstract

Dental caries is one of the most common health problems among elementary school children and is generally caused by improper toothbrushing habits, frequent consumption of sugary foods, and low levels of knowledge regarding oral and dental health. This caries prevention education activity was carried out for students at SDN 02 Sukasari with the aim of increasing children’s knowledge and awareness about caries prevention through interactive counseling, demonstrations of proper toothbrushing techniques, and education about foods that affect dental health. The implementation methods included delivering educational material, hands-on practice, and simple assistance provided by community service (KKN) students. The results of the activity showed an increase in students’ understanding and behavior regarding the importance of maintaining oral and dental hygiene. This intervention proved effective as a promotive and preventive effort to reduce the risk of dental caries in children and is recommended for continuous implementation in other school environments.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that frequently occurs in the elderly and represents a serious health issue due to its potential for various complications. One of the factors influencing the occurrence of hypertension is lifestyle, including dietary patterns, physical activity, smoking habits, and rest patterns. This study aims to determine the relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly in the working area of the Pasar Ikan Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025. This research utilized an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was selected using an accidental sampling technique, totaling 38 respondents. The instruments used were a lifestyle questionnaire and blood pressure measurements. Data analysis was conducted at univariate and bivariate levels using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had an unfavorable lifestyle (20 people, 52.6%), while 18 people (47.4%) had a favorable lifestyle. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly at the Pasar Ikan Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025 (p-value 0.001 < 0.05). In conclusion, this study can serve as reference material to enhance knowledge regarding healthy lifestyles in the elderly. Therefore, the health center is expected to increase promotive and preventive efforts through health education on healthy lifestyle implementation—such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and avoiding smoking—to prevent and control hypertension in the elderly.
