Abstract

Dyslipidemia is an abnormal condition of cholesterol levels. Dyslipidemia triggers various serious diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes with co-morbidities. Dyslipidemia was closely correlated with metabolic syndrome disorders such as obesity. There are several causes of dyslipidemia, such as diet, smoking, lack of exercise, and genetics. Until 2018, the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Indonesia was still high, marked by an increase in LDL and total cholesterol, as well as an increase in detected cases of coronary heart disease. Meta-analytical studies revealed that dyslipidemia was strongly suspected to be correlated with an increase in Covid-19 morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this community service activity is as a means of education and outreach to the community to increase knowledge about dyslipidemia and efforts to control it through a healthy lifestyle and proper and regular exercise. The activity was carried out through a webinar on August 8, 2021, with the theme “Fit During a Pandemic, Free of High Cholesterol”, attended by approximately 78 registered participants with three material topics. Evaluation of activities in the form of pre-post-test of knowledge of dyslipidemia, post-test of healthy lifestyle attitudes, and questionnaires for the implementation of the webinar which were fulfilled by 29 participants. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that there was no significant difference in knowledge between before and after attending the webinar. The knowledge of the participant was elevates from 82.8% to 86.2% after attending the webinar. The results of the post-test analysis on attitudes showed that 93.3% of participants had a very good healthy lifestyle attitude, while the evaluation of the course of the webinar showed 91.1% of participants considered the implementation of the webinar to be very good. Thus, it can be concluded that the purpose of this community service activity went well and could increase participants' knowledge about dyslipidemia.
