Abstract

Fast food or fast food is also known to the public as junk food. Based on research results, 93.5% of students are obese and there is a relationship between irregular eating patterns and eating instant food too often and the incidence of obesity. This can be caused by a lack of awareness that consuming fast food has a negative impact on body health. Adolescents' knowledge of fast food consumption is one of the causes of health problems in adolescents as a result of consuming fast food. So it is necessary to carry out community service activities by providing education to students which aims to increase students' understanding of fast food on health. This community service activity was carried out at Almarisah Madani University DIII Midwifery Study Program in January 2025. This activity uses an educational method with several stages, preparation, implementation and evaluation. The target is 20 students. This activity shows that education about fast food on health has increased knowledge among students from 40% who had good knowledge before the service and increased to 80% after the activity was carried out.

Abstract

Regular health checks are an important step in early detection and prevention of diseases, especially Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, and gout. Lack of public awareness of the importance of regular health checks is a challenge in controlling these diseases. This community service activity was carried out in Laikang Village, Biringkanaya District, through free health education and examinations as a form of contribution to increasing public awareness and health status. The activity methods included education on blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid, and cholesterol as well as direct examinations of 55 participants consisting of pregnant women and the elderly. The results of the activity showed high community enthusiasm and increased understanding of the importance of routine health checks. This activity also succeeded in identifying several cases of NCDs that had not been previously diagnosed. Limited equipment and medical personnel were challenges in implementation, but overall this program showed effectiveness as a means of promotion and prevention in improving public health. In the future, it is hoped that similar activities can be carried out periodically and sustainably.
