The purpose of this activity was to increase public awareness and knowledge regarding the prevention and management of gout through health education. The program was carried out at Jami Baiturahim Mosque, Setiaratu, Cibeureum District, Tasikmalaya City, involving 40 participants, particularly women from the local religious study group. The health promotion was conducted through lectures, interactive discussions, and the distribution of leaflets as educational media. The results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of a low-purine diet, the importance of physical activity, and healthy lifestyle practices as preventive measures against hyperuricemia, although statistically no significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test results. Nevertheless, the activity had a positive impact by raising community awareness of adopting a healthier lifestyle. Collaboration between educational institutions, healthcare professionals, and the community was identified as a key factor for successful gout prevention efforts. In the future, broader community engagement, more varied educational media, and a larger number of respondents are recommended to achieve more optimal and sustainable outcomes.
