Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production. In the elderly, diabetes mellitus causes various serious complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney failure and vision problems. Risk factors for diabetes mellitus include family history, obesity, lack of physical activity, a diet high in fat and sugar, and hypertension. This community service activity aims to increase awareness and early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus through education and HbA1c screening in the elderly. Of the 93 lanjut usiats, 74 were women and 19 were men, with an average age of 74.05 years. The mean HbA1c value was 7.59, with 55.9% in the moderate category and 25.8% in the poor category. Results showed that suboptimal glycemic control was higher in women. This program highlights the need for regular monitoring and appropriate interventions to improve glycemic control and quality of life for older adults through comprehensive education, physical activity and stress management.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by elevated uric acid levels in the blood, which can increase the risk of chronic kidney failure due to the deposition of uric acid crystals in renal tissue. Education and screening for uric acid levels are crucial for the early detection and prevention of hyperuricemia, particularly in the adult population. This community service program utilized the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach, encompassing counseling on risk factors of hyperuricemia, uric acid level screening with Point Of Care Testing (POCT), and education on strategies to prevent chronic kidney disease. The activity involved 40 participants of productive age, with an average age of 43.97 years. The mean uric acid level was recorded at 5.74 mg/dL. Educational interventions successfully increased participants’ awareness of the importance of maintaining uric acid levels within normal limits. Routine screening enables early identification of at-risk individuals and facilitates timely implementation of preventive measures. This program highlights the importance of public education and early detection in reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease and underscores the role of preventive health efforts in improving overall quality of life.
