Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition in which the body cannot produce or use insulin effectively, causing high blood sugar levels. Non-pharmacological therapy is one option to prevent and treat diabetes mellitus, for example "Diabetes Diet." Diabetes diet can be done by regulating carbohydrate intake, increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, avoiding foods high in sugar, and maintaining an active lifestyle. The purpose of this community service is to provide health promotion related to diabetes mellitus and diabetes diet so that the community understands how to treat and prevent diabetes. The method of implementing health promotion is carried out using two techniques: 1) Delivery of material, 2) Demonstration related to diabetes diet. The results of community service showed an increase in participant knowledge about diabetes mellitus and how to treat and prevent it. Participants showed high involvement and enthusiasm during the activity. Evaluation of community service was carried out through oral questions and pre-post tests related to the health promotion material provided. Health promotion related to diabetes mellitus is very important for the community so that they can gain positive knowledge to improve their health.

Abstract

Nutritional status reflects the balance between nutritional needs and intake, which is crucial for the health of women of reproductive age, as it directly affects reproductive function, pregnancy, and overall family well-being. This study aimed to accurately assess their nutritional status using anthropometric indicators as an initial step to prevent metabolic disease risks in women of reproductive age. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design conducted from November 2024 to January 2025. The population consisted of all women of reproductive age (WRA) with total of 45 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through direct observation using a checklist that included demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements. The data were analyzed univariately and classified based on WHO standards to determine categories of undernutrition, normal, overweight, and central obesity. Results were presented in tables, charts, and descriptive narratives. Most women of reproductive age (WRA) were in the productive age range of 21–35 years, with the majority having a senior high school education and working as employees or laborers. Nutritional status, based on BMI and MUAC, was predominantly in the normal category; however, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) measurements indicated a high prevalence of central obesity among the WRA. All respondents had a WHR ≥ 0.85, indicating a high risk of non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes. This study assessed the nutritional status of women of reproductive age using anthropometric indicators such as BMI, MUAC, waist circumference, and WHR. While most had normal nutritional status, there was a high prevalence of central obesity, which poses a risk for non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes.
