Abstract

This study examined the association between body composition indicators and cardiovascular health score among young adults from an early cardiovascular aging perspective. A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted using de-identified data from 44 young adults, consisting of 35 females and 9 males. Body composition indicators included body mass index, waist circumference, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, and visceral fat index. Cardiovascular and metabolic markers included systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and random blood glucose. Cardiovascular health was assessed using a modified Life’s Essential 8-based cardiovascular health score. Spearman correlation and age- and sex-adjusted linear regression analyses were performed. Higher adiposity indicators were significantly associated with lower cardiovascular health score, including body mass index, waist circumference, body fat percentage, and visceral fat index. Visceral fat index showed the strongest inverse association with cardiovascular health score. In contrast, skeletal muscle percentage was positively associated with cardiovascular health score. Adiposity indicators were also associated with less favorable blood pressure profiles, particularly systolic blood pressure. These findings suggest that body composition indicators, especially visceral fat index and skeletal muscle percentage, may provide practical insight into early cardiovascular health variation among young adults.

Abstract. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, are major causes of global morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for NCDs often develop gradually and remain undetected during productive age, including among educators who have high levels of activity and workload. Teachers are a strategic group that plays an important role in building a healthy lifestyle culture within the school environment, yet they often receive limited attention in preventive health screening programs. This community service activity aimed to conduct basic health screening among elementary and junior high school teachers at SIT Bina Insan Parepare as an effort to support early detection of NCD risk factors. The activity was carried out through the measurement of blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, random blood glucose levels, and health education on NCD prevention and healthy lifestyle practices. The activity also included brief consultations related to the participants’ examination results and health risk factors. The results showed that some participants had NCD risk factors, including elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity, increased waist circumference, and random blood glucose levels above the normal range. In addition, participants showed high enthusiasm toward the health screening and education provided. This activity was beneficial in increasing teachers’ awareness of the importance of regular health checks and the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors as part of promotive and preventive efforts against non-communicable diseases.Keywords: health screening; non-communicable diseases; teachers; early detection; promotive and preventive; healthy aging

Abstract

Penyakit tidak menular (PTM) merupakan penyebab utama kematian yang berkaitan dengan gaya hidup tidak sehat, seperti kurang aktivitas fisik, pola makan tidak seimbang, dan stres berkepanjangan. Guru sebagai tenaga pendidik memiliki peran penting dalam membangun budaya hidup sehat di lingkungan sekolah, namun masih terdapat keterbatasan literasi kesehatan terkait pencegahan PTM. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman guru mengenai penyakit kardiovaskular dan faktor risikonya serta meningkatkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya penerapan gaya hidup sehat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SD dan SMP SIT Bina Insan Parepare pada Februari 2026 dengan melibatkan 40 guru. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan edukatif-partisipatif melalui penyuluhan kesehatan, diskusi interaktif, refleksi bersama, dan evaluasi deskriptif menggunakan lembar observasi partisipasi peserta. Materi edukasi meliputi faktor risiko penyakit kardiovaskular, aktivitas fisik, pola makan sehat, pengelolaan stres, pengendalian konsumsi gula, garam, dan lemak, serta membaca label informasi nilai gizi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa 35 peserta (87,5%) aktif mengikuti diskusi dan sesi tanya jawab, sedangkan 32 peserta (80%) mampu menjelaskan kembali faktor risiko penyakit kardiovaskular dan upaya pencegahannya. Kegiatan ini juga meningkatkan kesadaran peserta mengenai pentingnya perilaku hidup sehat serta mendukung penguatan budaya hidup sehat di lingkungan sekolah dan keluarga.

Abstract

Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss among the elderly population. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) supplementation was developed as an evidence-based nutraceutical strategy to slow the progression of AMD. This review aims to evaluate the clinical evidence and potential application of AREDS2 as a geroprotective retinal intervention within the framework of precision geromedicine. Methods: A narrative review of recent AREDS and AREDS2 studies was conducted, integrating concepts from geroscience related to retinal aging. Results: The AREDS2 formulation, which replaced beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin, demonstrated an 18% reduction in AMD progression risk without increasing lung cancer risk among smokers. AREDS2 components target key aging pathways, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and dysregulated autophagy. In addition, potential modulation of mTOR and AMPK signaling suggests a role in extending retinal healthspan. Conclusion: AREDS2 represents a promising nutraceutical approach as a retinal gerotherapy within the paradigm of precision geromedicine. Its clinical implications include preventing AMD progression, optimizing visual function in older adults, and enabling integration into precision-based ophthalmologic practice. Further research is warranted to validate the molecular mechanisms and assess the cross-population effectiveness, thereby strengthening its role in broader age-related ocular health interventions.
