This study employed simple random sampling with a total sample of 116 people in 2 provinces: DKI Jakarta and South Sumatra Province. The statistical test utilized a t-test and multiple linear regression test. The results revealed that there was a difference in the average value of the health status of the elderly before and after the exercise programs in the intervention group (p-value = 0.001), there was a difference in the average value of the health status of the elderly between the intervention group and the control group after the exercise intervention program (p-value = 0.001), there was a relationship between the length of stay in the orphanage on the health status of the elderly. Recommendation: the resulting exercise program can be employed as complementary therapies replicated more extensively in various health care settings.

This condition shows the need for effective prevention efforts, one of which is through increasing public knowledge. However, there is still a gap between knowledge and prevention behavior. To determine the relationship between thelevel of knowledge and DHF prevention behavior in the community in RW 08, Jatinegara Village, East Jakarta. This type of research is descriptive analytical with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 90 people was taken using a purposive sampling technique, with the criteria that there had been a family member who had DHF. Data werecollected using a questionnaire on knowledge and behavior of dengue fever prevention (20 questions each, Guttman scale), which had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.723 and 0.879). Data analysis used thechi-square test. The majority of respondents with high knowledge had good dengue fever prevention behavior(86,5%), while respondents with low knowledge tended to have less good behavior (84,2%). The results of the chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0,05) and an Odds Ratio (OR) of 34,286, which means that high knowledgeincreases the chances of good prevention behavior by 34 times compared to low knowledge. There is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and dengue fever prevention behavior in the community. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Level of Knowledge, Prevention Behavior.  ABSTRAK Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan di Indonesia.
