Stunting is a growth and development disorder in children caused by poor nutrition and frequent and insufficient psychosocial stimulation infections. Stunting usually occurs due to several factors such as environmental factors, genetic factors, socioeconomic conditions, infectious diseases and exclusive breastfeeding. In DISKOMINFOTIK Bengkalis Regency, it is said that the prevalence of stunting in Bengkalis Regency in 2021 will reach 21.9 percent and drop to 8.4 percent in 2022. This is what caused us as KKN Bangun Kampung students at Riau University to realize the socialization of stunting in Wonosari Village as our flagship program. From these conditions, we as KKN Bangun Kampung Wonosari Village Students together with the head of the PKK and Posyandu cadres make every effort to provide knowledge about the understanding, symptoms and ways to prevent stunting to PKK mothers and members of the Wonosari Village posyandu cadre.  

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder that occurs chronically or chronically because the body does not have enough insulin hormone due to interference with insulin secretion, the insulin hormone does not work as it should or both (Hendry et al., 2023). The International Diabetes Mellitus Federation (IDF) organization estimates that at least 463 million people aged 20-79 years in the world suffered from diabetes mellitus in 2019 or equivalent to a prevalence rate of 9.3% of the total population of the same age. Based on gender, IDF estimates that the prevalence of diabetes in 2019 is 9% in women and 9.65% in men. (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2020). Prevalence data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2013-2018, there are 4 provinces with the highest prevalence, namely DKI Jakarta 3.4% East Kalimantan 3.1% In Yogyakarta 3.1%, North Sulawesi 3% and Central Java 2.1% ( Research and Development Agency, Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Health, 2019).

Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and is most common in society. Hypertension is now a major problem for all of us, not only in Indonesia but in the world, because hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes and stroke (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018 shows that around 1.13 billion people in the world have hypertension, meaning that 1 in 3 people in the world are diagnosed with hypertension. The number of people with hypertension continues to increase every year, it is estimated that by 2025 there will be 1.5 billion people affected by hypertension and it is estimated that every year 10.44 million people die due to hypertension and its complications (Ministry of Health, 2019). Based on Riskesdas 2018, the prevalence of hypertension based on measurement results in the population aged 18 years was 34.1%, the highest in South Kalimantan (44.1%), while the lowest was in Papua (22.2%). Hypertension occurred in the age group 31-44 years (31.6%), age 45-54 years (45.3%), age 55-64 years (55.2%). From the prevalence of hypertension of 34.1%, it is known that 8.8% were diagnosed with hypertension and 13.3% of people diagnosed with hypertension did not take medication and 32.3% did not regularly take medication. This shows that the majority of hypertension sufferers do not know that they have hypertension and therefore do not receive treatment (Ministry of Health, 2019).

Gouty arthritis is a degenerative disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism which is characterized by increased levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). Gouty arthritis can attack men aged 30 - 50 years and is a disease inherited from previous generations, but not in women. Women can develop gouty arthritis after experiencing menopause. This is related to the presence of the hormone estrogen which plays a role in the process of regulating uric acid in the blood. Uric acid levels are said to be high, if the uric acid level in the blood is more than normal levels. The normal level of uric acid in men is 3.4 - 7.0 mg/dl while in women it is 2.4 - 5.7 mg/dl (Yulianingsih et al., 2022). The prevalence of gout arthritis in Central Java based on doctors' diagnoses in the elderly group 75 years and over was ranked first at 16.03%, then in the elderly group 65-74 years it was 13.90%, and in the elderly group 55-64 years it was 13.69 % (Access et al., 2022). Based on data from the Kutamendala Community Health Center, the prevalence of gouty arthritis in Kutayu Village reached 4.3%. The percentage of residents suffering from gouty arthritis in Kutayu Village is 15 people out of 346 elderly people (Kutamendala Health Center, 2022).

Diabetes mellitus is a serious problem in public health and one of the four priority non-communicable diseases that are of global concern (Dewi, 2022). The etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus is insulin resistance, with higher than normal insulin concentrations required to maintain normoglycemia. When insulin production by pancreatic beta cells is inadequate to compensate for increased insulin resistance, blood glucose levels will increase. Secondly, pancreatic beta cell dysfunction occurs as a result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Lastly, environmental factors which also play an important role in the occurrence of DM are obesity, eating too much and lack of physical activity (Dewi, 2022). Diabetes mellitus was the direct cause of death for 1.6 million people in 2016. The latest data released by the International Diabetes Federation (FDA) shows that around 415 million people aged 20-79 years worldwide experienced diabetes mellitus in 2015. This figure is predicted will increase to 642 million people in 2040 with prevalence increasing from 8.8% to 10.4%. China, India and the United States are the three countries with the highest number of diabetes mellitus sufferers. According to the World Diabetes Foundation, from 2014 until now 382 million people in Indonesia suffer from diabetes mellitus. This number is predicted to increase to 592 million people in 2035 (Maria, 2021).

Based on the results of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013, the prevalence of stunting among toddlers in Indonesia was 37.2%. Then in 2018 there was a national decline to 30.8% (RI Ministry of Health, 2018). Thus, the incidence of stunting in Indonesia is still a problem that needs consideration because the national prevalence is still above the tolerance set by WHO, which is only 20%. The aim is to determine the relationship between pregnancy spacing and the incidence of stunting at the South Tapanuli Pargarutan Community Health Center in 2023. Stunting is caused by several factors, one of which is namely maternal factors (mother's knowledge regarding nutritional status, exclusive breastfeeding and complementary foods for breast milk. The type of research used in this research is quantitative research with a cross sectional research design. The sample for this study was 68 people. Based on the results of statistical tests using the Chi-Square test, it was found that p value is 0.042

Gastrointestinal disorders are quite dangerous diseases and cause number 6 deaths in the world. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018, digestive tract diseases mostly occur in developing countries, looking at the prevalence of digestive tract disorders which are often experienced by everyone, such as diarrhea, hemorrhoids and anal fissures, both toddlers and adults are more susceptible to disease. in the digestive tract (Putra & Ary, 2021). Acute gastroenteritis is an infectious disease and is a global public health problem in developed and developing countries resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality (Lakhan et al., 2023).

Hemorrhoids are a common disease in society and have been around for a long time. In fact, many people do not/do not understand about health in the anorectal area. This causes prevalence data related to hemorrhoids to be limited and difficult to obtain because people (patients) are reluctant to go for medical examinations (Verawaty, 2022).

Hypertension is now a global problem because its prevalence continues to increase in line with lifestyle changes. Blood pressure that continues to increase causes the heart's workload to become excessive, triggering damage to blood vessels, heart failure, kidney failure, and blindness. Hypertension can be treated with non-pharmacological techniques, one of which is with morning walks. Purpose: to determine the effect of implementing morning walks on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension in Bendungan Village, Sragen Regency. Method: This research method is a case study and descriptive research using pretest and posttest observation sheets. In this case study, the researcher used a tensimeter to measure the respondent's blood pressure, carried out for 30 minutes a week (frequency 4 times). Results: The results of the implementation showed that there was a different decrease in blood pressure between respondent 1 and respondent 2 after implementing morning walks for 30 minutes 4 times a week. Both respondents were categorized as grade 2 hypertension decreasing to degree 1 hypertension. Conclusion: The conclusion from the application results is that the rate of decrease in blood pressure in Mrs. M is greater, namely systolic pressure of 24 mmHg diastolic 1 mmHg while Ny. W decreased systolic pressure 15 mmHg diastolic 6 mmHg.

Background: According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2016, the prevalence of adolescent girls in Indonesia who experienced menstrual pain was around 55% (Susanti, et al, 2018).
