Abstract

Background The aging process results in physiological changes in the body, such as decreased muscle strength and impaired balance, so that the risk of falls, injury and dependency increases in the elderly. Changes in the nutritional status of the elderly who tend to be predominantly underweight also occur due to the aging process and have an impact on the muscle strength of the elderly in the long term. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and hand grip strength in the elderly at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin. Methods This study is an analytical and secondary research with a cross-sectional design, involving 62 elderly individuals from PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin as the population. All population members meeting the inclusion criteria and excluding outliers were considered as the research sample. The inclusion criteria encompassed complete data such as BMI, handgrip strength, age, weight, knee height, and gender. Two outlier samples were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. Bivariate data analysis utilized the Chi-square statistical test. Results The research findings indicate that most elderly women at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin have normal to overweight BMI, while elderly men have underweight BMI. Elderly women at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin exhibit abnormal handgrip strength, whereas elderly men have normal handgrip strength. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship (p=0.676) between BMI and handgrip strength values among the elderly at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin. Conclusions This study concluded that there was no significant relationship between BMI and hand grip strength scores in the elderly at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin.

Abstract

Anemia among adolescent girls remains a major public health problem, largely due to poor adherence to iron supplementation programs. According to the 2024 Nanggalo Public Health Center report, SMP IT Dar El Iman Padang had the highest rate of anemia among adolescent girls in the area. This community engagement project aimed to improve knowledge and adherence to iron tablet (TTD) consumption through the TERATAI (Teratur Minum Tablet Tambah Darah, Tolak Anemia) program. The activity was conducted on August 25, 2025, at SMP IT Dar El Iman, Padang, involving 114 seventh-grade female students. Interventions included interactive health education, educational video screening, poster distribution, appointment of anemia ambassadors, and training on the use of Google Forms for monitoring TTD consumption. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge improvement and through a four-week monitoring of adherence. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level of p<0.05. The mean knowledge score increased from 65.4 ± 9.2 to 82.1 ± 8.5 after the intervention (p<0.001), representing an average improvement of 25.5%. TTD adherence rose from 58.7% to 86.4% by week four. Furthermore, 91% of participants reported that the activity was engaging and beneficial, and teachers observed greater student motivation to take TTD regularly. The TERATAI program effectively improved students’ knowledge and adherence to TTD consumption. This school-based educational approach, supported by healthcare professionals and teachers, demonstrated positive impacts and is highly replicable as a sustainable model for adolescent anemia prevention programs.
