Abstract

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in the body, generated from the breakdown of purine substances found in certain foods. When uric acid levels in the body exceed normal limits due to excessive production or impaired excretion, uric acid crystals can accumulate in the joints, leading to a condition known as gout. This Community Service initiative aims to enhance understanding among adults regarding the risks of high uric acid levels and preventive efforts through routine screening and health education. The program is structured using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) method to provide comprehensive education on risk factors and prevention, as well as to assess participants' uric acid levels. This initiative emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and routine examinations as preventive measures, supporting early detection and management of health risks related to uric acid. The continuity of this service activity is expected to improve community quality of life over time.

Abstract

High blood pressure or hypertension is a significant global public health problem, especially in the productive age group (18-64 years). Hypertension often does not show symptoms in the early stages, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. This Community Service activity was carried out on teachers at Santo Yoseph High School, Cakung, East Jakarta. The purpose of this activity is to screen for hypertension through blood pressure checks. This activity was designed using the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) method as a sustainable method for processes or activities. The results showed that 27 teachers (38.04%) had high blood pressure. This screening program is important because it can increase public awareness of hypertension, which can be prevented by monitoring blood pressure early and regularly, so that it can improve overall health outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract

Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism, which can increase due to high purine intake or impaired renal excretion. Accumulation of uric acid in the body is at risk of causing joint inflammation and other metabolic disorders. Early detection and dietary education are strategic steps to prevent complications of hyperuricemia. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach by examining uric acid levels using POCT and education on managing purine consumption. The examination was carried out on 62 adult participants. Educational leaflets were delivered directly and individually to each participant. All participants had uric acid levels in the normal range (median 4.2 mg/dL), with the lowest value of 3.5 mg/dL and the highest 6.5 mg/dL. Most participants were women and were in the middle to elderly age group. Although no cases of hyperuricemia were identified, preventive education remains essential to maintain uric acid levels within optimal ranges and reduce future metabolic risks. Lifestyle interventions focusing on diet and hydration are critical for sustainable uric acid control and long-term health outcomes.
