Obesity, central obesity, and hypercholesterolemia are prevalent yet often unrecognized health conditions that significantly elevate the risk for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders. These conditions, when left undiagnosed and untreated, contribute to the growing public health burden worldwide. This community service program was designed to raise awareness and provide early detection of these conditions through basic health screening measures, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and blood cholesterol levels. The program was implemented in Tomang Subdistrict, West Jakarta, where 90 participants were involved. The findings from the screening revealed concerning results: 67% of the participants were classified as obese, and 58% had central obesity, both of which are major risk factors for NCDs. A deeper analysis of lifestyle factors highlighted that high-fat diets, sedentary behaviors, and night shift work were significant contributors to the high rates of obesity and metabolic abnormalities observed. The educational outreach component of the program, which included the provision of information about healthy diets, exercise, and the importance of regular health screenings, proved to be effective in raising awareness about these health issues. Moreover, the simple health screening process was well-received by the community and contributed to a greater understanding of individual health risks. This initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable model for promoting health and preventing metabolic diseases in the community. The findings underscore the importance of early detection and education as critical strategies in the fight against obesity and related NCDs, suggesting that such programs can play a key role in reducing the future burden of chronic diseases in underserved populations

Abstract. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This disease continues to be a serious health problem in Indonesia, with high incidence rates in various regions, including rural areas. Efforts to prevent DHF are often focused on controlling mosquito vectors through various methods, one of which is the use of insecticides. However, the use of chemical insecticides can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. Therefore, this research develops a natural alternative in the form of Anti Mosquito Spray and Hand Sanitizer made from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Lemongrass was chosen because it contains citronella, a compound proven to have activity as a repellent or mosquito deterrent. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lemongrass-based mosquito repellent spray as well as its capability as a hand sanitizer. The results show that this product is not only effective in preventing mosquito bites but also safe to use as a hand sanitizer, making it a practical and environmentally friendly solution in the prevention of DHF. Abstrak. Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue dan ditularkan melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Penyakit ini terus menjadi masalah kesehatan serius di Indonesia, dengan tingkat kejadian yang tinggi di berbagai wilayah, termasuk daerah perdesaan. Upaya pencegahan terhadap DBD sering kali difokuskan pada pengendalian vektor nyamuk melalui berbagai metode, salah satunya adalah penggunaan insektisida. Namun, penggunaan insektisida kimia dapat berdampak negatif terhadap kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengembangkan alternatif alami dalam bentuk Anti Mosquito Spray and Hand Sanitizer yang berbahan dasar serai (Cymbopogon citratus). Serai dipilih karena mengandung senyawa sitronela yang terbukti memiliki aktivitas sebagai repelan atau pengusir nyamuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas spray anti nyamuk berbahan dasar serai serta kemampuannya sebagai pembersih tangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produk ini tidak hanya efektif dalam mencegah gigitan nyamuk, tetapi juga aman digunakan sebagai pembersih tangan, sehingga dapat menjadi solusi praktis dan ramah lingkungan dalam upaya pencegahan DBD.
