<![CDATA[The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia, has become a serious concern across various regions, including rural areas previously considered at lower risk. Both conditions are metabolic disorders strongly influenced by the lifestyle and dietary patterns of the community. The objective of this activity was to conduct early detection of metabolic disorder risks, including hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia, before they develop into more severe chronic diseases. This community service activity was conducted in Seith Village, Central Maluku Regency, on April 24, 2025, with 41 participants. The screening process utilized the Accu-Chek Meter Device for testing. The results showed that of 19 male participants, 9 had cholesterol and uric acid levels within normal limits, while 10 exhibited elevated levels. Meanwhile, among 22 female participants, 10 had normal and 12 had high cholesterol levels, whereas only 7 had normal uric acid levels, and 15 showed elevated uric acid levels. These data indicate a relatively high risk of hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia in both genders, with a slightly higher proportion of elevated uric acid levels observed in females. Therefore, this issue requires special attention in prevention and management efforts within the community.]]>
