Abstract

The largest organ in the human body, the epidermis, serves as the primary barrier against environmental factors that may arise from the outside. Xerosis cutis is a skin condition that causes dry skin. It's caused by a number of things, including the activity of sebaceous and sweat glands decreasing with age, which lowers the amount of water in the stratum corneum and causes moisture loss. This can lead to disturbances in daily activities and a decline in sleep quality. In France, mild to moderate-severe dry skin is prevalent at a rate of 55.65%, while its prevalence is 9%. At Hana Nursing Home, sixty people attended the geriatric population screening activity, with a mean age of 78 years. During this activity, the left hand demonstrated an average water and oil content of 36.6% and 16.4%, respectively. In contrast, the right hand displayed an average water and oil content of 33.7% and 15.1%, respectively. The aim of this activity is to enhance participants' understanding of the significance of maintaining an optimal level of hydration in their epidermis.

Abstract

The risk of sarcopenia and metabolic complications in the elderly can be caused by the aging process and decreased muscle mass in the elderly group. Sarcopenia and obesity in the elderly also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and physical disability, which have the potential to reduce quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this community service activity is to screen protein levels and lipid profiles in the elderly group in order to detect the risk of sarcopenia and dyslipidemia early. This activity is carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) method which includes planning, implementation, supervision, and follow-up. The community service activity was carried out at Panti Bina Bhakti, South Tangerang, involving 93 elderly participants aged >65 years. The results of the activity showed that 35 people (37.63%), 9 people (9.68%), 35 people (37.63%), and 7 people (7.53%) each had abnormal lipid profiles for HDL, Cholesterol, LDL, and Triglycerides. While 24 people (25.81%) had abnormal albumin levels. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor protein levels and lipid profiles regularly as well as early intervention through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and education for the elderly to maintain muscle mass and muscle strength.
