<![CDATA[This program is a response to significant public health challenges, where non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and poor oral health are still prevalent and impact the quality of life of residents, while awareness of routine health checkups and preventive behaviors remains low. This program aims to conduct early detection of NCD risk factors and increase community knowledge about healthy lifestyles and oral health maintenance. Activities include health examinations covering blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, and dental examinations, followed by health education and guidance sessions by the Regular Community Service Program (KKN) IPE 010 of Muhammadiyah University Yogyakarta. A total of 46 residents participated in the check-ups, with results showing a high prevalence of hypertension (63.1%) and high cholesterol (80%), while most participants had normal blood sugar levels (94.6%) and normal uric acid levels (80%). Dental examinations revealed a very high DMF-T index (7.91), indicating widespread and untreated dental problems. This program has proven to enhance community understanding regarding early detection, the importance of routine health monitoring, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors. These findings underscore the need for sustained promotive and preventive interventions through collaboration between healthcare workers and stakeholders to improve health outcomes.]]>
