Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a lipid imbalance such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This condition can be caused by diet, tobacco exposure, or genetics and can lead to cardiovascular disease with severe complications. High cholesterol levels often have no symptoms, so most people do not realize that their cholesterol is too high, and they rarely carry out early detection. The survey showed that our clients, primary school teachers, rarely do cholesterol tests. They often consume foods that contain cholesterol and are physically inactive due to their busy daily activities. Based on client problems, the community service team of FK UNTAR intends to check blood cholesterol levels. The aim of this PKM activity is to increase awareness of the importance of blood cholesterol level checking and increase insight regarding how to maintain cholesterol levels in the body in a normal condition. A total of 23 participants took part in this activity. The results showed that 26.1% of participants had high total cholesterol levels, 34.8% of participants had LDL cholesterol levels close to optimal and borderline, 8.7% of participants had low HDL cholesterol levels, 82.6% of participants had normal triglyceride levels, and 21.7% of participants experienced dyslipidemia. The results of this activity showed that participants with dyslipidemia were quite high. It is hoped that this activity can increase participants' awareness so that they can monitor or carry out regular cholesterol checks in an effort to prevent the emergence of metabolic disease disorders in the future.

Abstract

Indonesia is entering an aging population phase, characterized by a significant rise in the number of elderly individuals. As they age, they are more prone to diverse health problems that require holistic care. Detecting health issues early is vital to prevent worsening conditions, reduce illness and disability, and improve the quality of life of the elderly. The activity focuses on empowering elderly residents and staff in nursing homes to identify health issues at an early stage. This community service activity applied a descriptive qualitative approach. By conducting interviews, observations, and examinations, the team identified the main complaints and health conditions experienced by most elderly residents in nursing homes. A total of 75 elderly residents underwent health screenings, including 60 females (80%) and 15 males (20%), with an average age of 78.92 years. The screenings covered medical record reviews, interviews, vital sign checks, and health education sessions. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and cataracts were identified as the five most common illnesses among elderly residents. The predominant complaints reported were muscle pain, headaches, skin injuries/bruises, and itchy skin. Through early detection, holistic assessment, and risk factor identification, elderly health can be optimally maintained, quality of life enhanced, and aging experienced with greater independence, comfort, and meaning.
