Abstract

Introduction: Gout is a degenerative disease that often attacks joints, especially in older adults. This disease is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, which causes inflammation and severe pain. One of the main indications that someone suffers from gout is if the results of measuring the uric acid level in the blood are more than 7.0 (mg/dL), whereas in women, it is more than 5.7 mg/dL. Objectives: Research to determine the effectiveness of A. Muricata leaf extract in reducing uric acid levels in older adults with hyperuricemia. Methods: Quantitative research, using a quasi-experimental type with Pre-test, Post-test design with control group design, with a sample size of 30 older adults, sampling technique using random sampling carried out for one week consuming one day three times. Results: The paired t-test showed a p-value of 0.0001, indicating a significant difference between the average uric acid levels before and after Annona muricata leaf extract administration. Soursop leaves contain flavonoid and tannin compounds, where flavonoids can inhibit the production of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. By inhibiting this enzyme, the process of forming hypoxanthine into xanthine is also hampered, thereby reducing excess uric acid production. Apart from reducing uric acid levels in the blood, soursop leaves can also reduce pain in people with gouty arthritis thanks to the tannin, resin and Agostini content, which can relieve pain and reduce swelling and pain. Conclusions: Administration of A. Muricata leaf extract has proven effective in reducing uric acid levels in older adults with hyperuricemia

Abstract

Objective: The aging process is part of the final stage of life, and a decline in physiological function characterizes it. A decline in physiological function will affect the elderly organ systems. Physical stability are influenced by cognitive decline, so that the elderly often have difficulty in carrying out daily activities, tend to be easily unsteady, stumble, and fall. This study aimed to identify the relationship between cognitive function and body balance in older people. Methods: The design of this study used a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents in this study was 27 older adults. The sampling technique used was Cluster Sampling. The data collection instruments in this study were the Mini-Cog and Clock Drawing Test for cognitive function and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for the elderly's body balance. Data analysis was done using the Spearman Rank correlation test with SPSS 27. Results The results showed that the category of cognitive function with a high probability of cognitive impairment was 18 respondents (66.7%), and body balance in the walking with assistance category was 19 respondents (70.4%). The statistical analysis results show a p-value = 0.001 (p < 0.05), a Rho value of 0.641, which means that cognitive function strongly relates to body balance Conclusion: Cognitive function in the elderly can be maintained in prime condition with various interventions such as early screening and regular physical training for maintaining body balance.
