Abstract

Gout arthritis is a disease characterized by elevated blood uric acid levels exceeding normal limits, which then triggers the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints. A recent analysis of the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data shows that approximately 1.71 billion people worldwide live with musculoskeletal conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (18 million people; 2.4 million YLDs) and gout (54 million people; 1.7 million YLDs). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of moringa leaf compresses on reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly in the Jembatan Kecil Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area in Bengkulu City in 2026. The research method used was a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest. Purposive sampling was used, with a sample size of 15 participants. Univariate analysis showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (66.7%) had moderate pain, while after the intervention, the majority of respondents (60%) had mild pain. The results of the bivariate analysis of the Wilcoxon test showed the effect of moringa leaf compresses on reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly with p=0.001. There was an effect of moringa leaf compresses on reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly in the Jembatan Kecil Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area, Bengkulu City, in 2026. The researchers recommend that Puskesmas develop and implement non-pharmacological therapies, such as moringa leaf compresses, as part of their gout arthritis pain management efforts in the elderly.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases among the elderly and is influenced by dietary patterns, physical activity, and environmental conditions. Dusun III in Suka Sari Village, a highland area with low temperatures and limited access to health services, presents a higher risk for hypertension, particularly among older adults. This community service program aimed to strengthen early detection of hypertension and metabolic risks through health screening and elderly exercise activities. The methods included blood pressure measurement before and after a 25-minute elderly exercise session, as well as random blood glucose (RBG) and uric acid testing using rapid diagnostic tools. The results showed that most participants were in the pre- hypertensive and stage 1 hypertension categories. After the exercise session, a decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure was observed in the majority of participants. Several participants also showed elevated RBG and uric acid levels, indicating previously undetected metabolic risks. This program demonstrates that simple, low-cost, community-based interventions can effectively support hypertension control, enhance health awareness, and serve as an early detection approach for metabolic conditions in rural highland communities.
