Abstract

Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disorder that indicates an increase in lipid levels in the body. Obesity, particularly central obesity, is correlated with hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome. Complications of hyperlipidemia such as coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure can be fatal if left untreated. Education and early detection of hyperlipidemia are crucial to prevent serious complications and maintain good health. This community service involved 50 elderly at Santa Anna Elderly Care Facility. All respondents participated in a series of activities, including education through posters, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests. Results of the diagnostic tests indicated 2 respondents had LDL levels ? 135 mg/dL, 6 respondents had HDL levels < 40 mg/dL, and 12 respondents had total cholesterol levels ? 200 mg/dL. The results of the education activities are expected to increase public awareness, all of which can reduce the overall healthcare burden when applied correctly and properly.

Abstract

Aging of the skin that occurs in the elderly has an impact on skin moisture. There are various factors that can influence skin moisture, both unchangeable and changeable. Disturbed skin moisture can cause various skin problems and reduce the sufferer's quality of life. This makes it important to provide education and skin hydration screening to the public, especially the elderly. Education is carried out by conveying information about skin moisture, influencing factors, as well as ways to prevent and care for the skin. The increasing number of elderly people in Indonesia makes it important for us to pay attention to their health. Skin care that can be done to maintain skin hydration includes using moisturizers, humidifiers in rooms with low humidity, using soft soap without fragrance, avoiding long showers, using sunscreen, and clothing that is not too tight. It is hoped that education and screening can increase public awareness regarding the importance of maintaining skin hydration, especially for the elderly, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of public health in Indonesia.

Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) approximates 1.28 billion individual suffers hypertension, with 46% of them does not realize it, and only 1 of 5 hypertensive individual has their blood pressure controlled. Hypertension prevalence is still relatively high in the elderly population who live in nursing home. This is one of the main health adversities that often happens and should not be underestimated due to its risk of complications. Uncontrolled blood pressure is one of the main risk factor to the global disease burden and total of global death, contributing up to 9,4 millions of deaths (8,5% of the global total) annually. This activity aims to increase the knowledge of the community about hypertension in elderly who lives in nursing home to increase the quality of life and reducing the cost burden of therapies and treatments. We use PDCA activity method to ensure the program could run smoothly and efficiently. This activity included 34 elderly respondents of the St Fransiscus Community with the mean age of 4 (11,8%) years. We found that 4 (11,8%) of the respondents have uncontrolled blood pressure. With the implementation of this program, it is hoped that the public awareness of elderly hypertension and its prevention is increased, so that there will be increase of quality of life for the elderly in the future and relieving the economical burden.
