Abstract: Obesity is a global epidemic and a significant public health problem. In the elderly population, obesity is defined as a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². In the United States, the prevalence of obesity among the elderly is 37.1% in men and 33.6% in women over the age of 60. Obesity increases the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and can cause psychological problems such as sleep disorders and lack of self-confidence. Accurate obesity risk assessment involves measuring Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology to screen for obesity in the elderly at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. The screening includes anthropometric measurements of BMI and waist circumference, followed by evaluation and nutritional counseling for at-risk individuals. 9 people (14.75%) had overweight nutritional status, 3 people (4.92%) had obese nutritional status, and 35 people (57.38%) were at risk of central obesity. Routine anthropometric measurements are critical for monitoring obesity and implementing preventive measures to improve overall health outcomes, improve quality of life, and reduce obesity-related morbidity and mortality rates. Keywords: Obesity, Central Obesity, Elderly, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference

Childbirth is a series of physiological processes that will allow some major changes in a mother to be able to give birth to her baby through the birth canal. The occurrence of perineal stiffness can actually be prepared for and anticipated, starting in early pregnancy. Preparations that can be made include doing physical exercises such as pregnant yoga. Prenatal yoga is very useful for pregnant women, especially to overcome complaints during pregnancy, reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and prepare physically for the labor process by training pelvic floor muscles to be stronger and more elastic so as to facilitate labor. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the incidence of perineal lacerations in maternity mothers in the working area of the Ngletih Health Center, Kediri Regency, in 2024. In this study, we used the quasi-experimental research method with a post-test control design. The sample used in this study was mothers who gave birth from January to April 2024, which was distinguished between the control group and the treatment group. The results of the study obtained were the influence of pregnant yoga on the incidence of perineal lacerations in maternity women, with ρ values of 0.000 < α 0.05 and significant differences in lacerations of degrees 1 and 3. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that pregnant yoga is very effective in preparing the elasticity of the perineal muscles so that it can help prevent the rupture of the delivery process.

The largest organ in the human body, the epidermis, serves as the primary barrier against environmental factors that may arise from the outside. Xerosis cutis is a skin condition that causes dry skin. It's caused by a number of things, including the activity of sebaceous and sweat glands decreasing with age, which lowers the amount of water in the stratum corneum and causes moisture loss. This can lead to disturbances in daily activities and a decline in sleep quality. In France, mild to moderate-severe dry skin is prevalent at a rate of 55.65%, while its prevalence is 9%. At Hana Nursing Home, sixty people attended the geriatric population screening activity, with a mean age of 78 years. During this activity, the left hand demonstrated an average water and oil content of 36.6% and 16.4%, respectively. In contrast, the right hand displayed an average water and oil content of 33.7% and 15.1%, respectively. The aim of this activity is to enhance participants' understanding of the significance of maintaining an optimal level of hydration in their epidermis.

Chronic Kidney  Disease (CKD) is defined when kidney damage lasts more than 3 months. Chronic Kidney  Disease (CKD) is a disease with various causes in the form of structural or functional abnormalities, accompanied by a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). People with chronic kidney disease and kidney failure often require kidney replacement therapy or hemodialysis. Sleep disorders are one of the complications of hemodialysis and often occur in patients with chronic kidney disease and over a long period of time. This can affect the quality of sleep of people with chronic kidney disease, both in terms of quantity and duration of sleep, which ultimately affects the individual's daily function. Non-pharmacological methods such as aromatherapy are important to relieve, prevent or treat certain diseases using natural plant spices or aromatic essential oils. Lavender aromatherapy belongs to the Lamiaceae family and its scientific name is Lavandula angustifolia. Inhaling lavender oil is a simple method that has been proven to have a positive effect on various symptoms, especially in hemodialysis patients with sleep disorders.

In Indonesia, almost every year train accidents occur which result in casualties and considerable material losses. The factors that cause train accidents are human resources, facilities, infrastructure and environmental factors. The method used in this study is the measurement of the level of fatigue that occurs in machinists and assistant machinists using the fatigue index calculator and for measuring the quality of sleep whether good or not using the Pitsburgh sleep quality index questionnaire. Data collection is divided into two parts, namely the collection of working time data from machinists and assistant machinists to determine the level of fatigue and the collection of data from the distribution of questionnaires to determine sleep quality. Working time data is the schedule of machinists and assistant machinists every day which will then be calculated the level of fatigue using the fatigue index calculator. For the calculation of sleep quality, the Pitsburgh sleep quality questionnaire was distributed to 62 respondents. From the results of the calculation of the fatigue index calculator for machinists and assistant machinists every day, it is found that the fatigue index value varies for each day. This can also be seen from the results of the calculation of the standard deviation for 62 respondents which ranges between the value of 6 or 7. The results of the calculation of the sleep quality index showed that 84% of machinists and assistant machinists have a good sleep quality.
