Abstract

This community service program aimed to increase awareness of eye health and facilitate early detection of refractive errors among students at Stella Duce 2 Senior High School, Yogyakarta. The activities were conducted from August 4-8, 2025, involving Grade X students as the main participants, with teachers and staff as additional targets. The methods included interactive health education, basic eye examinations (visual acuity, ocular motility, color vision, pupillary reflex, external and internal checks), and a short video competition themed “Jaga Mata untuk Masa Depan Cerah.” Results showed active student participation in education sessions, 190 individuals underwent eye screening, and several refractive errors requiring correction or referral were detected. The video competition produced creative educational content that was shared on social media, extending the program’s outreach. In conclusion, the program improved eye health awareness, enabled early detection of vision problems, and encouraged digital health promotion. This model can be replicated in other schools to strengthen promotive and preventive eye care.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the incidence of stroke (14%) is higher than the national average. We therefore investigated the roles of LDLR rs688 (C/T) and PCSK9 rs562565 (A/G) polymorphisms in familial hypercholesterolemia as predictors of first-time ischemic stroke. Methods: In this case-control study, 119 first-time ischemic stroke patients were divided into dyslipidemia (N = 71) and non-dyslipidemia groups (N = 48). The DNA of the nucleotide polymorphisms LDLR rs688 (C/T) and PCSK9 rs562556 (A/G) was extracted and analyzed using the PCR-RFLP method, and statistical analyses were performed to evaluate their predictive potential. Results: The LDLR rs688 (C/T) CT genotype was the most common in both groups. The TT genotype appeared slightly more frequently in the dyslipidemia group, but no significant association was found with dyslipidemia (p = 0.460). While lipid levels had no significant relationship with LDLR rs688 (C/T), hemoglobin levels differed significantly across the genotypes (p = 0.002), which suggested the biological relevance of hemoglobin. Conclusions: The LDLR rs688 (C/T) polymorphism was not significantly associated with dyslipidemia among the stroke patients. Nonetheless, genotype-related trends related to lipid and hemoglobin levels indicated potential mechanisms that warrant further investigation.
