Abstract

Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome caused by chronic and progressive disorders accompanied by a decline in brain function that affects emotions, memory, decision-making, behavior, and other brain functions, which disrupt daily activities. The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia may lead to more people experiencing dementia. Recent research reports that poor oral health, such as periodontitis and tooth loss, are linked to dementia. The elderly population tends to have worse dental and oral health compared to other age groups because most of them lack awareness of maintaining dental health due to a lack of education. Dementia is currently medically incurable, making prevention efforts essential. Poco-poco exercises involve movements similar to brain exercises and can help prevent dementia. The pandemic has led to reduced activity levels and fewer visits to dentists among the elderly. The objective is to prevent and slow down dementia, especially Alzheimer's dementia. There were 62 participants in the activity, and the material was presented in the form of PowerPoint and video. The implementation of dental health education and poco-poco exercise training proved to be effective, as there was an increase in the elderly's knowledge, shown by statistically significant differences and an increase in median values between pre-test and post-test results for the participants.

Abstract

In November 2021, Covid-19 vaccination coverage in the special capital area (DKI) Jakarta stage 1 (one) reached 78.1% and stage 2 (two) 60.4% for local identity cards (KTP) DKI Jakarta. Covid-19 vaccination coverage for area the Palmerah District stage 1 (one) has reached 96.56% but unfortunately for stage 2 (two) it has not met the expected target. In order to reduce the Covid-19 case, the regional administration (Pemda) of DKI Jakarta has continued given education and socialization to increase public awareness in implementing health protocols and providing Covid-19 vaccinations to the public.Another problem that occurs in the Palmerah District is the increase cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). This increase is due to the rainy season which is the breeding time for the Aedes Aegepty mosquito. DHF can be prevented through controlling the Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) programme. Public awareness for healthy behavior and maintaining a mosquito-free home environment is still lacking therefor counseling and training are needed for the community to prevent dengue.Since the Covid 19 pandemic, the Dental Health Education Program could not be implemented in Palmerah Health Center due to pandemic and limited resources. Providing dental health education (DHE) to health cadres will increase oral health in community. The results obtained after the training significantly increased the knowledge of the cadres and community members who participated in the event. Thus this collaboration program should continue regularly to maintain knowledge and health practice in community.
