Abstract

Hypertension remains a major public health concern worldwide, largely driven by unhealthy lifestyles such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and excess body weight. Early identification of modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol levels, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity, is crucial for preventing hypertension. This community-based screening activity was conducted on 7 August 2025, at SMA Negeri 9 Padang, targeting teachers, administrative staff, and food vendors. A total of 80 adults participated in the study using convenience sampling. The activity included health education followed by individual health screenings, which consisted of blood pressure measurement, BMI calculation, cholesterol testing using portable point-of-care devices, and physical activity assessment using structured questionnaires. The results showed that 45% of participants were classified as prehypertensive, 83.8% had high cholesterol levels, and 66.3% were overweight or obese. Most participants (72.5%) reported moderate physical activity levels, which fell short of the World Health Organization’s recommendations. These findings indicate a high risk of hypertension among adults in the school community, particularly related to elevated cholesterol, excess body weight, and insufficient physical activity. We identified hypertension risk factors and provided health education and individualized screening feedback to raise awareness of cardiovascular risks and emphasize the importance of regular screening.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to optimize the business activities of the Talago Makmur farmer women's group in the Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) Chicken Farming Business. This activity focuses on increasing understanding through optimizing the use of local feed, providing probiotics, and managing maintenance and cultivation. This activity is designed to combine counseling, training, practical demonstrations, monitoring, and evaluation, thereby increasing the percentage of farmers who understand the material. The counseling materials provided include knowledge of feed, ration preparation, and probiotic administration. Feedback from the activity was measured based on questionnaire data to assess the level of knowledge and understanding of group members who participated in the community service activity. The results of this community service activity indicate that the counseling has been carried out effectively, improving farmers' knowledge and practical skills in ration formulation. A new approach focused on optimizing the use of local feed and probiotics was implemented to encourage community empowerment. Twenty group members attended this activity. Activities carried out include counseling sessions, ration preparation training, discussions, data collection from questionnaires, and distribution of assistance for laying hens and feed. Based on the evaluation results, farmers' understanding showed an estimated average increase of around 30% after participating in the counseling and training activities. The conclusion of this community service activity is an increase in understanding of the use of local feed and probiotics, as well as the development of skills among members of the Talago Makmur farmer women's group through the practice of making rations to optimize KUB chicken rations.

Abstract

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are industrially manufactured products high in sugar, salt, and fat, with minimal whole-food content. The increasing consumption poses significant health risks, particularly for children. This community service program aimed to improve parents’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of limiting UPF intake and promoting balanced nutrition consumption. The program was conducted at RA Fatanah, Padang City, from June to July 2025 and involved 22 parents selected through total sampling. Nutrition education was delivered via a lecture method supported by PowerPoint materials, leaflets, and booklets. Participants completed pre- and post-tests to assess changes in knowledge. The proportion of individuals with low knowledge decreased from 18.2% to 0%, while those with high knowledge increased by 22.8%. On average, participants’ scores rose by 18 points after the intervention. Overall, this program demonstrated that structured nutrition education effectively enhances parental knowledge. Strengthening educational initiatives may contribute to reducing UPF consumption and supporting improved dietary behaviors within families.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the production and digital marketing capacity of the Wan Alan Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), a home–scale spice producer in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra. The intervention was motivated by the partner’s limited production technology, absence of standardized SOPs, lack of product testing, weak brand protection, and suboptimal digital marketing performance. The activities were carried out through training, technology adoption, mentoring, proximate testing, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development, brand IPR registration assistance, photography, videography workshops, and digital marketing coaching. The results show significant improvements: production capacity increased, sterilization time decreased, SOPs and cost of goods sold (COGS) calculations were implemented, proximate tests were completed, and trademark registration progressed to the substantive examination stage. In the marketing aspect, visual content quality improved substantially, Instagram performance increased by more than 233%, and new distribution channels were opened through a formal partnership with Budiman Supermarket. These outcomes demonstrate that integrated assistance combining production technology, operational standardization, and digital marketing enables MSMEs to enhance competitiveness, expand market reach, and strengthen business sustainability.
