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.

Abstract

Obesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, increases susceptibility to chronic disease and adversely impacts overall quality of life. Elderly people often exhibit higher fat mass and lower muscle mass and bone density, influenced by reduced physical activity, hormonal changes, and metabolic adjustments. Visceral fat accumulation is of particular concern because of its association with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework to screen for obesity in the elderly using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference measurements. Activities were held at St. Fransiskus Assisi, Jakarta involving 36 participants. The study revealed that 16 participants (44.5%) and 30 people (83.3%) were obese and centrally obese, respectively. Early detection and intervention through anthropometric measurements are very important in managing health risks related to obesity in the elderly, so as to improve their quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality.
