Abstract

Sarcopenia is a degenerative condition characterized by decreased muscle mass and strength, significantly affecting quality of life and functional ability, especially in the adult and elderly population. This community service activity was conducted at SMP Kalam Kudus, West Jakarta, involving 87 productive age participants. Screening was conducted using handgrip strength measurement, a non-invasive, practical, and effective method for early detection of sarcopenia risk. The results showed that 8.05% of participants had low handgrip strength, indicating an early risk of sarcopenia. Education on the importance of maintaining muscle strength through physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle was provided to participants. Handgrip strength screening has been shown to be an effective early detection tool and can be used as an indicator of chronic disease risk, including stroke. This activity contributes to increasing public awareness of the importance of muscle health and prevention of related complications. Routine implementation of screening and education is expected to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of disability in the adult population.

Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are key indicators in evaluating metabolic risk. A high distribution of abdominal fat is closely associated with insulin resistance and various metabolic disorders. Mealtime-based interventions, such as time-restricted eating (TRE), are considered promising preventive strategies. This community education and anthropometric assessment were conducted at St. Francis of Assisi Church, South Jakarta, using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) framework. Parameters evaluated included BMI and WHR, accompanied by visual educational materials on daily mealtime structuring. Among the 65 adult participants, the average BMI was 25.74 kg/m² and the average WHR was 0.9. A total of 56.92% were categorized as obese, and 83.08% exhibited a high WHR. These findings reflect a predominance of central adiposity, which is strongly associated with elevated metabolic risk. The high proportion of individuals with overweight and central fat accumulation highlights the urgency of preventive and promotive efforts. Educational interventions, particularly through poster-based delivery of information on time-restricted eating, present a feasible approach to raising public awareness on the importance of structured mealtimes as a preventive measure against metabolic disorders.
