Abstract

340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 years worldwide are overweight and obese. Education and screening are efforts made to prevent obesity. This activity was carried out on 37 teenagers at Pondok Kasih Agape Orphanage, North Jakarta, in the form of counseling, physical examinations/screening, and health consultation. Obesity education and screening in adolescents is an important thing to do to prevent obesity in adolescents and its complications. It is hoped that the education provided can change aspects of lifestyle so that various changeable risk factors can be avoided and the incidence of obesity in adolescents can be avoided.

Abstract

Depression is a common mental disorder in the elderly, associated with emotional distress, increased health care costs, the risk of suicide, and death from other causes. Depression in the elderly is characterised by persistent sadness, helplessness, anhedonia, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, psychomotor retardation or agitation, fatigue, impaired concentration, and suicidal ideation. Prevalence varies between 7 and 30%, higher in women. Risk factors include bereavement, social isolation, and somatic diseases, which are more common in old age. Depression increases the risk of dementia, morbidity, and mortality, emphasising the need for early screening. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method to screen for depression in 61 elderly participants at the Hana Nursing Home using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. The examination results revealed mild, moderate, and severe depression in 8 people (13.11%), 4 people (6.56%), and 2 people (3.28%), respectively. Early detection using GDS is essential for timely intervention, including counselling and medical advice, to improve quality of life and reduce depression-related morbidity and mortality in the elderly population.
