Abstract

Uric acid, or gout, is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in the joints. This buildup occurs due to increased uric acid levels in the blood (hyperuricemia), which can result from excessive uric acid production or inefficient excretion through the kidneys. This study aims to determine the relationship between elderly knowledge and the incidence of gout in Blangreuling Village. The research employs a cross-sectional design and involves elderly individuals in Blangreuling Village. The total population consists of 36 people, with the sample also comprising 36 individuals using a total sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and secondary data, then analyzed using descriptive analysis to identify the relationship between elderly knowledge and gout incidence. The study results show that 22 elderly individuals (61.11%) have good knowledge, while 14 individuals (38.88%) have less knowledge. Additionally, 20 elderly individuals (55.55%) were diagnosed with gout. Bivariate analysis results indicate a significant relationship between knowledge and gout incidence (p < 0.05). This study is expected to contribute to a better understanding of gout among the elderly in rural communities and inform targeted public health interventions, as well as the development of effective prevention and management strategies for gout in the elderly population of Blangreuling Village.

Abstract

PayLater services are becoming increasingly popular among the public, offering convenience and flexibility in meeting daily needs and lifestyle demands. However, uncontrolled use has the potential to cause financial problems that significantly impact both mental and physical health. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding of community leaders regarding healthy financial management and the health risks that may arise from a PayLater-based consumer lifestyle. The outreach program was conducted by KKM students from Bina Bangsa University Group 22 in Banjar Negara Village, Ciwandan District, Cilegon City, with 30 participants consisting of local RT and RW heads. Methods used included interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions that encouraged active participation and contextual sharing of experiences. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants’ awareness of the importance of financial literacy as an integral part of maintaining overall quality of life. Participants recognized that financial health is closely related to mental well-being, as excessive financial pressure can trigger stress, anxiety, and even chronic illnesses. The program also emphasized practical strategies such as budgeting, distinguishing needs from wants, and limiting PayLater use to essential needs only. It is expected that RT and RW heads who have participated can act as educational agents in their communities, spreading financial literacy and awareness of health risks. In the future, similar programs need to be expanded to other community groups, supported by digital media and cross-sector collaboration to create a financially independent and physically and mentally healthy society.
