Abstract

Stunting is one of the problems experienced by toddlers due to disruption of nutritional intake since pregnancy, which can hinder children's development and have long-term negative effects. Women who are not physically healthy enough to marry are more likely to have children who are short for their age. The aim of this service activity is to determine the relationship between early marriage and stunting in children. The questionnaire was used as a pre-test and post-test, by determining the average number of respondents who understood the information before and after being socialized on the topic of early marriage and adolescent reproductive health. The results of service activities show that the knowledge of young women in Tanjung Anom Village increased by >50% after being given material presentations by the PKM team. The suggestion given is to increase cross-sector collaboration between decision makers, so as to reduce the risk of stunting cases in the future.

Abstract

Dementia is a leading cause of disability among the elderly, and physical activity has been recognised as one of the modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline. Institutionalised older adults are particularly vulnerable because of restricted mobility and monotonous routines, yet evidence from Indonesian foundation-based care settings remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the relationship between physical activity and the level of dementia among older adults living at Yayasan Sosial Nelly Huang Indonesia, Medan. Methods: A quantitative analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in January 2026. Forty-two elderly residents were selected through purposive sampling from a population of 71 using the Slovin formula. Physical activity was assessed with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and cognitive function with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data were analysed using univariate distribution and the Spearman rank correlation test after a Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality check. Results: A significant relationship was found between physical activity and the level of dementia (r = 0.457; p = 0.002), indicating a moderate association in which more favourable levels of physical activity accompanied better cognitive status. Conclusion: Physical activity is significantly associated with the level of dementia among institutionalised older adults. Structured and sustained physical activity programmes are recommended as a nonpharmacological strategy to preserve cognitive function.
