<![CDATA[Women of reproductive age (WRA) are vulnerable to the double burden of malnutrition and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which may affect reproductive health and future pregnancy outcomes. A baseline assessment of 46 WRA in Rusunawa Marunda showed a high proportion of overnutrition (73.9%), metabolic syndrome risk based on waist-hip ratio (76.1%), anemia (50.0%), and low adherence to iron-folic acid supplementation (91.3%). These findings formed the basis for the “Gizi Keliling” program, a community-based promotive and preventive health service aimed at improving nutrition literacy while conducting early detection of NCD risk factors. The activity was conducted twice, on 5 and 19 October 2025, comprising registration, brief interviews, anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, hemoglobin, blood glucose, cholesterol and uric acid checks, individual nutrition counseling, and group education. A total of 72 participants took part, 46 of whom were WRA who underwent more detailed assessment. Screening results showed that around 75% of participants were overweight or obese, while only 20.8% had normal nutritional status; 30.6% had elevated blood pressure and 19.4% had high cholesterol. The high level of community participation indicates a strong ongoing need for community-based health services. Individual nutrition counseling helped participants understand their health status and obtain recommendations for improving diet and lifestyle. The Gizi Keliling program proved effective in improving community access to early detection of NCD risk factors while strengthening nutrition literacy, particularly among WRA in urban marginalized communities.]]>
