<![CDATA[Cadres of PKK are the main drivers of community and posyandu (integrated health post) activities. Adequate knowledge and skills can improve the overall health status of the community, particularly in addressing degenerative diseases and obesity. These conditions often arise due to poor eating habits and limited understanding of high-fat foods. This study aimed to enhance knowledge regarding the identification of fatty foods and to provide training in anthropometric measurements. The target participants were 17 posyandu cadres from Padukuhan Potorono, Banguntapan, Bantul. The program was conducted in two stages: the first involved education on high-fat foods, and the second focused on anthropometric training. During the training, cadres practiced anthropometric measurements on each other and calculated Body Mass Index (BMI). In the first stage, knowledge was assessed using pre- and post-test questionnaires, while the training performance was evaluated using a checklist with a score range of 10–100. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed a 35% increase in knowledge scores, excellent skill performance with an average score of 95, and that 76% of cadres had abnormal BMI. This study demonstrates that education and training activities effectively improve cadres’ knowledge and skills, although a considerable proportion of cadres are also at risk of obesity]]>
