<![CDATA[Kadar asam urat yang tinggi merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan yang dapat berkaitan dengan nyeri sendi dan keterbatasan gerak. Intervensi nonfarmakologis, seperti senam yoga dan slow deep breathing, dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai pendekatan pendukung dalam pemeliharaan kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan kadar asam urat setelah pemberian kombinasi senam yoga dan slow deep breathing pada pra-lansia di Desa Tirtomoyo, Kecamatan Pakis, Kabupaten Malang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pra-eksperimental dan rancangan one-group pretest–posttest. Sampel terdiri atas 34 pra-lansia yang dipilih menggunakan teknik total sampling. Kadar asam urat diukur sebelum dan sesudah pemberian kombinasi intervensi. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon signed-rank. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik antara kadar asam urat sebelum dan sesudah intervensi (p = 0,001). Hasil ini menunjukkan adanya perubahan kadar asam urat setelah pemberian kombinasi senam yoga dan slow deep breathing. Namun, besarnya perubahan perlu ditunjukkan melalui penyajian nilai kadar asam urat sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Kombinasi kedua intervensi ini berpotensi menjadi pendekatan pendukung dalam pemeliharaan kesehatan pra-lansia, tetapi efektivitasnya perlu dikaji lebih lanjut dengan desain penelitian yang memiliki kelompok pembanding. Abstract Elevated uric acid levels are a health concern that may be associated with joint pain and limited mobility. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as yoga exercises and slow deep breathing, may be considered supportive approaches to health maintenance. This study aimed to analyze changes in uric acid levels following a combination of yoga exercises and slow deep breathing among pre-elderly individuals in Tirtomoyo Village, Pakis District, Malang Regency, Indonesia. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 34 pre-elderly individuals selected using total sampling. Uric acid levels were measured before and after the combined intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The analysis showed a statistically significant difference in uric acid levels before and after the intervention (p = 0.001). This finding indicates a change in uric acid levels following the combined yoga and slow deep breathing intervention. However, the magnitude of the change should be reported using the uric acid measurements obtained before and after the intervention. This combination may be considered a supportive approach to health maintenance among pre-elderly individuals, although its effectiveness requires further investigation using a study design with a comparison group.]]>
