<![CDATA[Abstrak Latar Belakang. Patah tulang osteoporosis pada usia lanjut menimbulkan banyak komplikasi dan menjadi beban ekonomi. Pemerintah telah melakukan strategi pencegahan dan pengobatan namun belum melakukan strategi skrining osteoporosis. Bila hal ini tidak dilakukan maka beban tersebut akan semakin berat di masa mendatang. Skrining dapat dilakukan menggunakan alat pengukur densitas tulang ultrasonografi kalkaneus. Alat ini ringan, mudah dipindah-pindahkan, aman, nyaman dan hasilnya akurat untuk skrining tulang. Alat ini adalah alternatif diagnosis osteoporosis secara dini sebagai strategi pencegahan patah tulang osteoporosis pada kaum lanjut usia terutama bagi warga desa. Kegiatan skrining akan maksimal hasilnya bila menggunakan pendekatan kolaborasi dengan melibatkan berbagai pemangku kepentingan. Analisis situasi.

Terdapat kegiatan pos pembinaan terpadu (Posbindu) namun tidak mempunyai program pencegahan osteoporosis. Permasalahan. Belum adanya kegiatan pencegahan osteoporosis bagi warga desa lanjut usia. Solusi. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berupa skrining osteoporosis dengan melibatkan Pos Pembinaan Terpadu menggunakan alat ultrasonografi kalkaneus. Kesimpulan. Pencegahan osteoporosis wanita lansia di desa berhasil dilakukan melalui skrining tulang menggunakan alat ultrasonografi kalkaneus berkolaborasi dengan Posbindu setempat.

Osteoporotic fractures in the elderly cause many complications and become an economic burden. The government has implemented prevention and treatment strategies but has not implemented osteoporosis screening strategies. If this is not done, the burden will become heavier in the future. Screening can be performed using a calcaneus ultrasound bone densitometry. This device is lightweight, portable, safe, comfortable, and accurate for bone screening. This tool is an alternative early diagnosis of osteoporosis as a strategy to prevent osteoporosis fractures in the elderly, especially for rural residents. Screening activities will have maximum results when using a collaborative approach involving various stakeholders. Situation analysis. Tugu Village, Cimanggis District, Depok has many elderly populations who are at risk of fractures. This village has an Integrated Healthcare Center (Posbindu), but it has no osteoporosis prevention program. Problem. There are no osteoporosis prevention activities for elderly villagers. Solution. Community service activities in the form of an osteoporosis screening program involving the Integrated Guidance Post using a calcaneus ultrasound. densitometry Conclusion. The prevention of osteoporosis fracture in elderly villagers has been successfully carried out through bone screening using a calcaneus ultrasound bone densitometry in collaboration with the local Posbindu.
