Sindrom metabolik merupakan isu kesehatan yang semakin menonjol di Indonesia, dengan prevalensi mencapai 21,66% dan angka lebih tinggi pada populasi urban. Literasi gizi, sebagai kapasitas individu untuk memahami dan menerapkan informasi nutrisi, dipandang berperan penting dalam mengarahkan perilaku makan serta memengaruhi status metabolik. Namun, pada komunitas adat seperti masyarakat Badui, struktur sosial-budaya dan pola hidup tradisional dapat menciptakan dinamika yang berbeda dibandingkan populasi umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat literasi gizi dan parameter kesehatan metabolik pada masyarakat Badui Luar. Studi observasional dengan desain potong lintang ini melibatkan 41 responden dewasa. Literasi gizi diukur menggunakan kuesioner terstandar, sedangkan parameter metabolik meliputi lingkar perut, tekanan darah, kadar glukosa darah puasa, trigliserida, dan HDL yang diperiksa menggunakan metode klinis sederhana. Analisis korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk menilai hubungan antarvariabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa literasi gizi berada pada kategori cukup baik (123,73 ± 7,89), namun tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan seluruh parameter metabolik (r –0,218 hingga 0,241; p>0,05). Pola ini mengindikasikan bahwa faktor budaya, aktivitas fisik agraris, serta pola konsumsi tradisional kemungkinan berperan lebih dominan dalam membentuk profil metabolik masyarakat Badui dibandingkan literasi gizi formal.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern that frequently remains undiagnosed until advanced stages. Early detection through simple laboratory screening is essential to prevent disease progression and associated cardiometabolic complications. This community service program aimed to assess kidney function using serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), while increasing public awareness regarding CKD prevention. A total of 59 participants were included, with a mean age of 39.15 ± 15.39 years (range 16–75 years), predominantly female (74.58%). The mean serum creatinine level was 1.0 ± 0.19 mg/dL, and the mean eGFR was 91.08 ± 20.53 mL/min/1.73 m². Most participants demonstrated normal kidney function (28.8%) or mild decline (21.6%). A progressive reduction in eGFR with increasing age was observed, reflecting the physiological decline in nephron mass and renal perfusion. The program also provided education on kidney-protective practices, including optimal blood pressure control, diabetes management, adequate hydration, and avoidance of nephrotoxic agents. This intervention improved participants’ understanding of CKD risk factors and the importance of regular screening. In conclusion, serum creatinine and eGFR evaluation offer simple, accurate, and practical tools for early CKD detection, supporting promotive–preventive strategies to slow disease progression and enhance quality of life in at-risk populations.

The rapid rise of short-form social media platforms, particularly TikTok, among adolescents has raised concerns regarding excessive use and potential behavioral addiction that may negatively affect mental health and academic functioning.
