Abstract

Sarcopenia is a progressive degenerative condition characterized by a decrease in muscle mass, strength, and musculoskeletal function, affecting the quality of life of the elderly. This activity aims to screen for vitamin D and educate the elderly about sarcopenia. Community service activities were carried out in nursing homes, involving education and screening of vitamin D levels. The results showed that the majority of respondents were women (79.6%) with an average age of 74.05 years. Most respondents experienced vitamin D deficiency, with 87.1% deficient, 3.2% adequate, and only 9.7% having good levels, with it being found that more women experienced vitamin D deficiency than men. Education regarding the importance of vitamin D and preventing sarcopenia is provided through outreach sessions and poster media. This activity emphasizes the importance of early detection and comprehensive intervention including physical exercise, proper nutritional intake, and lifestyle modification to prevent sarcopenia and improve the quality of life of the elderly. Community-based interventions are needed to address vitamin D deficiency and promote musculoskeletal health in the aging population.

Abstract

Spirometry is a method for measuring lung capacity and function, playing a crucial role in the early detection of respiratory disorders. Among adolescents, education on respiratory health and spirometry examinations can help prevent respiratory issues that may impact quality of life. The objective of this community service activity was to enhance adolescents' understanding of the importance of maintaining respiratory health and to motivate them to adopt preventive measures. The methods employed included health education focusing on the risks of respiratory disorders and spirometry examinations for early detection. This program utilized the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) framework, encompassing planning, implementation of education and examinations, evaluation, and follow-up to improve the program. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of risk factors and the benefits of spirometry examinations. Participants became more aware of the importance of maintaining respiratory health through healthy lifestyle practices. Health education and spirometry screening play a vital role in raising awareness and promoting preventive actions among adolescents concerning respiratory health. This activity is expected to serve as a foundation for similar programs focusing on respiratory health in adolescents.

Abstract

Healthy and balanced nutrition plays an important role in supporting students' physical, mental, and academic health, especially during growth. This community service activity aims to increase students' awareness of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet to support the learning process. This activity is carried out by involving nutrition education and nutritional status checks, such as body mass index (BMI), through a school-based approach at SMA St. Yoseph, East Jakarta. Students who have a healthy and balanced nutritional intake tend to have higher learning performance and concentration. Conversely, students with poor nutritional intake are more susceptible to infectious diseases and have lower attendance rates at school. Education provided interactively can increase students' awareness and understanding of the importance of a healthy and balanced nutritional intake. This is expected to be the first step to prevent nutritional disorders and improve the quality of students' health and academics in the future.
