Abstract

Prospective studies indicate that the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a superior marker compared to isolated assessments of triglycerides (TG) and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in predicting Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Simpang Sungai Duren Community Health Center serves a large population with a high proportion of productive-age and obese individuals. Routine metabolic screening for CHD risk stratification in obese residents has been hindered by limited facilities and healthcare financing systems. This community service initiative aimed to assess AIP for CHD risk stratification in obese individuals. Participants included residents aged 19–64 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m², no recent lipid-lowering medication use (within 3 months), and an 8–10 hour fasting period. AIP scores (logarithm of TG/HDL ratio) were used to stratify CHD risk. Results were communicated to participants alongside health promotion leaflets. Among 61 participants, AIP-based screening identified 14.8% as high-risk, 26.2% as moderate-risk, and 59% as low-risk for CHD. Modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors in the high-risk group revealed 100% with central obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, and 50% with hypertension and/or low HDL levels. The high-risk cohort exhibited multiple cardiometabolic risks requiring comprehensive management.

Abstract

Stroke is a neurological disease caused by multiple risk factor and can be prevented through early screening and lifestyle modifications. However, the misconception that stroke only affects the elderly leads to low screening interest among younger adults. This community service activity aimed to screen for stroke risk factors, particularly lipid profile examination among the productive age population in the working area of Simpang Sungai Duren Public Health Center. A total of 90 respondents aged 19-59 years participated, most of whom were office workers with sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy dietary habits. The screening included blood pressure measurement, body mass index assessment, total cholesterol and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels. All respondents fasted for 8-10 hours before venous blood sampling. Screening results were delivered along with individual consultation and lifestyle education. The results revealed that 20% of respondents had hypercholesterolemia, 22% had elevated LDL levels, 23.26% had hypertension, 21% were overweight, and 39% were obese. These findings indicate that individuals in the productive age group may already have stroke risk factors despite being asymptomatic. Therefore, regular screening from early adulthood is essential as a primary prevention strategy against stroke.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease prevalent worldwide and is one of the biggest public health challenges of the 21st century. Lifestyle changes and proper dietary patterns have proven effective for the prevention and management of diabetes mellitus. Emerging evidence shows that a high-protein and high-fiber diet is particularly beneficial. This Community Service Activity was conducted at the Puskesmas Koni in Jambi City. Participants attended a session on high-fiber and high-protein menu guidelines for individuals with T2DM presentation. The activity was attended by 30 participants, comprising 19 volunteers and 11 individuals with T2DM. Most participants, 21 people (70%) were aged 19 to 59 years, and 18 participants (60%) were female. The average pre-test score was 49.7, and the post-test score was 75. There was an increase in participants' knowledge after the socialization of the high-fiber and high-protein menu guidelines for individuals with T2DM.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The sedentary lifestyle among office workers is associated with various adverse health risks, such as increased rates of metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, as well as depression and cognitive impairment. Data from the Jambi University Clinic shows that there are still many educational staff and educators who are overweight, and awareness of getting themselves checked before health problems arise is still low. Health screening related to adverse effects due to a sedentary lifestyle, such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, needs to be carried out so that preventive measures and further management can be carried out. The PPM was attended by educational staff or educators at Jambi University aged 19-64, who were checked for body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar (GDP) measurements. Before taking venous blood for GDP examination, participants must fast for 8-10 hours. The examination results are sent to service participants along with health promotion media in the form of leaflets to avoid sedentary behavior. The activity was attended by 99 people who met the criteria. From the results of BMI measurements, it was found that 8.08% were underweight, 22.2% normoweight, 8.08% overweight, and 61.62% obese. The GDP examination found that 92.93% were normal, 3.03% pre-diabetic, and 4.04% were diabetic. From blood pressure measurements, it was found that 36.36% were normal, 39.39% were pre-hypertension, and 24.24% were hypertensive. It should be noted that service participants who are underweight, overweight, pre-diabetic, and pre-hypertensive need regular follow-up evaluations to prevent worsening of their health conditions. Participants who are obese, diabetic, and hypertensive need to receive further management in the form of treatment from a doctor according to the health problems they are experiencing. Keywords: Diabetic, Hypertension, Obesity, Sedentary lifestyle ABSTRAKGaya hidup yang kurang gerak (sedentary lifestyle) di kalangan pekerja kantoran memiliki hubungannya dengan berbagai risiko kesehatan yang merugikan seperti peningkatan angka gangguan metabolism seperti diabetes mellitus, hipertensi, dan dislipidemia, serta depresi, dan gangguan kognitif. Data dari Klinik Universitas Jambi, diketahui bahwa masih banyak tenaga kependidikan maupun pendidik yang memiliki berat badan berlebih, dan kesadaran untuk memeriksakan diri sebelum timbul masalah kesehatan yang masih rendah. Skrining kesehatan terkait efek buruk yang timbul karena perilaku sedentary seperti obesitas, hipertensi dan diabetes mellitus perlu dilakukan agar dapat dilakukan tindakan preventif maupun tatalaksanalanjutan. PPM diikuti oleh tenaga kependidikan atau pendidik di Universitas Jambi berusia 19-64 tahun, dilakukan pemeriksaan Indeks massa tubuh (IMT), tekanan darah dan pengukuran gula darah puasa (GDP). Sebelum pengambilan darah vena untuk pemeriksaan GDP, peserta diwajibkan berpuasa 8-10 jam. Hasil pemeriksaan dikirimkan kepada peserta pengabdian beserta media promosi kesehatan berupa leaflet untuk menghindari perilaku sedentary. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 99 orang yang memenuhi kriteria. Dari hasil pengukuran IMT didapatkan 8.08% underweight, 22.2% normoweight, 8.08% overweight dan 61.62% obese. Dari pemeriksaan GDP didapatkan 92.93% normal, 3.03% pre-diabetik, 4.04% diabetik. Daripengukuran tekanan darah didapatkan 36.36% normal, 39.39% pre-hipertensi, 24.24% hipertensi. Hendaknya menjadi perhatian untuk peserta pengabdian yang mengalami underweight, overweight, prediabetik, dan pre-hipertensi membutuhkan evaluasi lanjutan secara berkala agar tidak terjadi perburukan kondisi kesehatan. Para peserta yang mengalami obese, diabetik, dan hipertensi perlu untuk mendapat tatalaksana lanjutan berupa pengobatan dari dokter sesuai masalah kesehatan yang dialami.Kata kunci: Diabetes, Hipertensi, Obesitas, Sedentary lifestyle

Abstract

ABSTRACT Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Among the components of dyslipidemia, triglyceride levels and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are important indicators in assessing cardiovascular disease risk, making these examinations useful for screening risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. However, healthcare facilities are often unable to conduct these assessments independently, necessitating a referral system to more comprehensive healthcare services. Our community service team aims to facilitate this by conducting lipid profile examinations at Puskesmas Pakuan Baru as an early detection effort for metabolic syndrome in women of reproductive age. The activities carried out included lipid profile testing, blood pressure measurement, and education regarding metabolic syndrome. The results from 26 participants indicated that 23.07% had elevated triglyceride levels, 73.08% had low HDL levels, and 19.33% were hypertensive. Based on these findings, women of reproductive age already exhibit risk factors for metabolic syndrome, suggesting that lipid profile assessments should be incorporated into routine screening programs to prevent the onset of metabolic syndrome. ABSTRAK Sindroma metabolik merupakan kumpulan kondisi yang meningkatkan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular, diabetes mellitus dan stroke. Komponen dislipidemia yang menjadi indikator penting dalam penilaian risiko penyakit kardiovaskular antara lain kadar trigliserida dan high-density lipoprotein (HDL), sehingga pemeriksaan ini dapat dimanfaatkan untuk skrining faktor risiko sindroma metabolik. Namun, fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan belum dapat melakukan pemeriksaan tersebut secara mandiri sehingga perlu dilakukan sistem rujukan ke fasilitas kesehatan yang lebih lengkap. Tim pengabdian berupaya memfasilitasi hal ini dengan melakukan kegiatan pengabdian pemeriksaan profil lipid di Puskesmas Pakuan Baru sebagai upaya deteksi dini sindroma metabolik pada wanita usia produktif. Kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi pemeriksaan profil lipid, pemeriksaan tekanan darah, dan edukasi terkait sindroma metabolik. Dari hasil pemeriksaan yang telah dilakukan pada 26 orang peserta didapatkan hasil 23,07 % peserta memiliki kadar trigliserida tinggi, 73,08 % memiliki kadar HDL yang rendah, dan 19,33% mengalami hipertensi. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, wanita usia produktif sudah menunjukkan adanya faktor risiko sindroma metabolik, sehingga pemeriksaan profil lipid sebaiknya dapat dimasukkan sebagai program skrining rutin di masyarakat untuk mencegah terjadinya sindroma metabolik.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Prevention of cardiovascular disease can be performed with early detection and management of underlying risk factors as announced by the Ministry of Health in GERMAS since 2016. Obesity, hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus are conditions which have a high probability for progressing to cardiovascular disease if not detected early and treated properly. Examination of body fat composition, blood pressure and fasting-glucose tests are relatively affordable tests to do which performed as prevention management to prevent those condition mention before. Early detection is related to early management and promise better prognosis, especially in the productive age population. Puskesmas simpang sungai duren have competence medical team who work in primary health services. Equipped with laboratory facilities, but the laboratory has not been able to facilitate the examination of venous blood glucose metabolites with the COD-PAP method. Body fat composition assessment has also only been done with simple anthropometric measurements that have not been done with BIA because tools are not available. Related to this, the service proposal team proposed organizing this service activity by carrying out body fat assessment with BIA, blood pressure screening and glucose metabolism profile with standardized methods. The results of the screening will then be used as the basis for personal consultation and data submission to partner health care facilities for follow-up. Screening of cardiovascular disease risk factors in service participants found a total of 25 people suffering from hypertension, 5 people suffering from fasting hyperglycemia and 50 people suffering from obesity. Body fat composition screening found that 57 people had low fat mass, 64 people were classified as over fat and 30 people had high visceral fat mass. Keywords: Screening; hypertension; obesity; blood glucose   ABSTRAK Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencegah penyakit kardiovaskuler adalah deteksi dini dan tatalaksana faktor risiko yang mendasari sebagaimana dicanangkan oleh kementrian kesehatan dalam GERMAS sejak tahun 2016. Beberapa kondisi memiliki probabilitas besar untuk berlanjut menjadi penyakit kardiovaskuler adalah obesitas, hipertensi, diabetes melitus (DM) tipe II apabila tidak dideteksi dini dan ditangani dengan baik. Upaya kesehatan preventif untuk mencegah ketiganya dengan deteksi dini berupa pemeriksaan komposisi lemak tubuh untuk mendeteksi obesitas sentral, pemeriksaan tekanan darah dan glukosa prandial merupakan pemeriksaan yang relatif terjangkau untuk dilakukan. Deteksi dini kondisi ketiganya terkait dengan tatalaksana dini dan pencegahan keberlanjutan kondisi menjadi lebih buruk terutama pada penduduk usia produktif. Puskesmas simpang sungai duren memiliki tenaga medis handal yang relevan terhadap layanan kesehatan primer. Dilengkapi dengan fasilitas laboratorium, akan tetapi laboratorium tersebut belum dapat memfasilitasi pemeriksaan metabolite glukosa darah vena dengan metode COD-PAP. Asesment komposisi lemak tubuh juga baru dilakukan dengan pengukuran antropometri sederhana belum dilakukan dengan BIA karena alat yang tidak tersedia. Terkait dengan hal tersebut tim pengusul pengabdian mengusulkan menyelenggarakan kegiatan pengabdian ini dengan melaksanakan asesemen lemak tubuh dengan BIA, skrining tekanan darah dan profil metabolisme glukosa dengan metode terstandar. Hasil skrining tersebut kemudian akan dijadikan dasar konsultasi personal maupun penyampaian data ke fasilitas layanan kesehatan yang menjadi mitra untuk ditindak lanjuti. Skrining faktor risiko penyakit kardiovaskuler pada peserta pengabdian didapatkan sejumlah 25 orang menderita hipertensi, 5 orang menderita hiperglikemia puasa dan 50 orang menderita obesitas. Skrining komposisi lemak tubuh didapatkan sejumlah 57 orang memiliki massa lemak yang rendah, 64 orang tergolong over fat dan 30 orang memiliki massa lemak viseral yang tinggi.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal complications. Preventive strategies based on local food resources offer a sustainable approach aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. This study describes a community-based intervention integrating nutrition, health education, and periodic monitoring among pregnant women in the Puskesmas Tahtul Yaman area, located along the riverside in Jambi. The intervention applied the Health Belief Model to enhance perceived benefits and reduce barriers, the Theory of Planned Behavior to strengthen attitudes and behavioral control, and Knowles’ Adult Learning Theory for contextual learning. Activities were conducted in two phases. In the first phase (gestational age 26–28 weeks, trimester 2), pregnant women attended sessions on preeclampsia and safe fish consumption, supported by cooking demonstrations using nutrient-dense river fish. They received fish-based meals twice weekly for six weeks. Maternal health was monitored through blood pressure, weight gain, and symptoms, while fetal well-being was assessed by ultrasonography. The second phase, eight weeks later (trimester 3), repeated maternal examination and ultrasonography for follow-up of pregnancy. None of the participants developed hypertension, fetal growth matched gestational age, and mothers showed improved knowledge of preeclampsia and its prevention, particularly through fish consumption. This community-driven model demonstrates the effectiveness of combining local nutrition, adult learning strategies, and regular maternal-fetal monitoring. It highlights a feasible, culturally sensitive, and sustainable approach to strengthen maternal health and prevent preeclampsia in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a growing public health problem, characterized by central obesity, high blood sugar levels, increased blood pressure, and lipid profile disorders that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This community service activity was carried out to strengthen the competence of Posyandu cadres in the Tahtul Yaman Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area in Jambi City in conducting early detection and providing education about MS. The program was implemented through three main stages: module development, module-based training, and direct mentoring in the field. The training module was designed by integrating the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach and andragogy principles, so that the learning process was more participatory and oriented towards the cadres' real-life experiences. A total of 15 cadres from nine Posyandus actively participated in this activity. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge gains, and the Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) method to measure practical skills. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores, with the pass rate increasing from 73.33% to 100% after the training. Cadres were able to implement screening procedures according to standards and explain the examination results well. However, the communication-education aspect still needs strengthening to make health messages more easily accepted by the public. Overall, this program has proven effective in increasing the capacity of Posyandu cadres as the frontline of promotive and preventive health services at the community level.

Abstract

Obesity is a major risk factors for non-communicable diseases, and its prevalence continues to increase in Indonesia. Community Health Centers, as primary healthcare providers, play a crucial role in obesity prevention through the empowerment of local health cadres. This community service aimed to enhance cadres’ knowledge and skills in early obesity detection. The program was implemented through a structured training consisting of material delivery and hands-on anthropometric measurement sessions, followed by field visits to Posyandu to evaluate cadres’ practical skills in performing anthropometric assessments. A total of 15 Posyandu cadres from the working area of Tahtul Yaman Community Health Center participated in this activity. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, with median scores rising from 90 (range 50–100) in the pre-test to 100 (range 80–100) in the post-test (p = 0.007). The proportion of cadres achieving the passing score also increased from 53.3% to 100% (p = 0.006). Field observations indicated that most cadres were able to perform anthropometric examinations independently and in accordance with standard procedures. These findings suggest that structured training combined with practical field reinforcement may contribute to improving cadres’ competencies, thereby supporting their role in sustainable, community-based obesity prevention efforts. Keywords: Obesity screening; Health cadres; Anthropometry; Community health center.
