A healthy lifestyle is an important issue that needs to be instilled early in life, especially during adolescence. Adolescents living in hinterland areas often face greater challenges in accessing adequate health information and facilities. Therefore, efforts to promote healthy lifestyles among adolescents, especially in hinterland areas, are very important to prevent health problems and improve quality of life. One potentially effective approach to improve the motivation and healthy lifestyle behavior of adolescents in hinterland areas is the Peer Empowerment program. This program utilizes the strong influence of peers in motivating and encouraging positive behavior change among adolescents. This research will use the research and development (R&D) method with an experimental approach. The results of this study are useful for providing recommendations for effective health promotion methods for healthy lifestyle changes in adolescents.

Chronic diseases are degenerative conditions that significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Various degenerative diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart stroke, require immediate attention. Indonesia faces a dual burden in healthcare, grappling with both rampant infectious diseases and the rising prevalence of chronic degenerative illnesses.

The community service activities were successfully executed, as evidenced by the smooth conduct of the events and the active participation of the adolescents. To improve health quality, it is essential to foster awareness and enhance education among teenagers about the prevention of degenerative diseases.

Pregnant women are said to be anemic if their hemoglobin (Hb) level is <11g/dL. Anemia in pregnant women is caused by lack of intake of iron-rich foods, lack of vitamin C intake, short pregnancy intervals (parity). Objective: To carry out midwifery care for Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with a mild case of anemia. Methodology: with a midwifery care approach, namely SOAP which includes subjective, objective, assessment, plan, and implementation and evaluation sheets, carried out on 09 September 2024 to 23 September 2024 at the patient's house in Aik Are Hamlet, Ubung Village, Jonggat District. The results of the midwifery care that was carried out on Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with mild anemia, were carried out by giving Fe blood supplement tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate. After 1 week of midwifery care, the mother experienced improvement. Hb 11.3 gr/dL and no discrepancy was found between theory and case. Conclusion: There was an increase in Hb in pregnant women after consuming Fe tablets, vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and Calcium lactate for 1 week. Health workers are expected to be able to carry out health promotions about the importance of consuming Fe tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate to increase iron absorption in the body.

The results showed that the three variables price, product quality, and promotion had a significant effect on customer loyalty. Promotion has the greatest influence compared to other variables, followed by product quality and price. In addition, the validity and reliability of the measurement instruments have been tested using outer model analysis, which shows valid and reliable results. Limitations of the study include sampling limited to Evolene customers as well as external factors such as market trends that cannot be fully controlled. This study recommends companies to integrate competitive pricing strategies, maintain product quality, and optimize digital promotions to strengthen customer loyalty.  

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become the leading cause of death in Indonesia, particularly among young adults, with an increasing incidence rate. Technological advancements, lifestyle changes, and environmental factors have contributed to the rising prevalence of NCDs, especially among the younger generation. In light of this, it is essential to implement prevention through health screening and education on healthy lifestyles, particularly among young adults. This community service activity was conducted on December 20 and 21, 2024, with the aim of raising awareness among young adults in West Jakarta about the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle through health screenings and the promotion of an active lifestyle, including education on nutrition status, physical activity, quality sleep, and the dangers of smoking, especially the use of e-cigarettes. The results of the activity showed that the majority of participants experienced sleep difficulties, and most did not smoke, although some used e-cigarettes. The results of nutrition status measurements also indicated that most participants fell into the obese category. Participants' physical activity levels were relatively low, with many engaging in less than 30 minutes of exercise per session and struggling to find time for regular physical activity. Education and promotion of healthy lifestyles need to be continuously improved to prevent NCDs among young adults, with a focus on improving eating habits, increasing physical activity, and managing stress.
