Increased body fat, especially visceral adipose tissue, is associated with metabolic syndrome and other serious health conditions. Early detection of body composition is essential to identify individuals at risk for metabolic and musculoskeletal disorders, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and sarcopenia. Body composition can be examined using Karada Omron. The purpose of this community service activity is to determine the body composition of productive-age adults. This activity was carried out at Santo Yoseph High School, East Jakarta, involving 69 participants. This activity was designed using the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) method. The results showed that 11 men (15.94%) and 47 women (68.12%) had above-normal total body fat levels. As for the whole body skeletal muscle mass, 17 men (24.64%) and 33 women (47.83%) had below-normal muscle mass. Education about healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity is part of an effort to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining a balanced body composition to improve overall quality of life

Body composition is the ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body, which is an important factor in maintaining health, especially in adolescents who are experiencing rapid growth and development. Balanced body composition in adolescence can support physical health and prevent various diseases. Imbalanced body composition has the potential to cause obesity, metabolic disorders, heart disease, and musculoskeletal problems. Educational activities and body composition examinations are carried out using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach, involving counseling on healthy lifestyles and body composition examinations. This program has succeeded in increasing adolescents' understanding of the importance of maintaining body composition balance and adopting healthy habits. Health education and routine body composition monitoring provide benefits in preventive efforts to prevent future health risks. Continuous body composition examinations and education are important steps in efforts to control health among adolescents.

Elderly will experience changes in body composition which will affect the Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) and have an impact on blood pressure. Hypertension is often found in the elderly in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship and differences in WHR and body composition between hypertensive and non-hypertensive elderly. The design used in this research is case control. The population of this study included all elderly people in the Griya Werdha Jambangan Surabaya Regional Technical Implementation Unit (RTIU) with a total sample of 76 elderly people consisting of 38 hypertensive and 38 non-hypertensive. The results of the research were the relationship between getting WHR, fat mass, muscle mass (p = 0,000), bone mass (p = 0,026), and fluid mass (p = 0,049). The results of the study were differences in WHR, fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass (p = 0,000), and fluid mass (p = 0,001). The odds ratio (OR) value shows that elderly people with obesity WHR have a risk of 27,4, more fat mass and muscle mass below normal have a risk of 24,4, bone mass below normal has a risk of 5,8, and less fluid mass has a risk of 5,1 times developing hypertension. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between WHR and body composition and hypertension, and there are differences in WHR ​​and body composition values between hypertensive and non-hypertensive elderly.

Balanced nutrition is a daily food composition that contains nutrients in types and quantities that suit the body's needs, taking into account the principles of food diversity, physical activity, clean living behavior and monitoring body weight regularly in order to maintain a normal body weight to prevent nutritional problems. and maintain the immune system in the body. Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, where physical, emotional and psychological changes occur. To achieve optimal growth, adequate nutritional intake is needed. A diet with balanced nutrition is one of the main factors in the complex nutritional problems in Indonesia. People need to get clear and adequate information about a diet with balanced nutrition, including eating a variety of foods (eating vegetables and fruit), clean living behavior, physical activity, and regularly weighing yourself as a component of a balanced lifestyle. Basically, nutritional problems in adolescents arise due to incorrect nutritional behavior, namely an imbalance between nutritional consumption and recommended nutritional adequacy. Nutritional condition or nutritional status is a description of what is consumed over a long period of time. The nutritional condition can be in the form of undernutrition, good or normal or overnutrition. Deficiency of one nutrient can cause disease in the form of deficiency disease. If deficiencies within marginal limits cause milder disorders or decreased functional ability.

Body composition refers to the distribution of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues in the human body, which is often expressed as a percentage of total body weight consisting of fat mass and lean body mass. Obesity, characterized by excess fat in adipose tissue, poses a significant health risk and is increasing in countries with low and medium mortality rates, especially in metropolitan areas. Factors contributing to this include genetics, a lack of physical activity, socioeconomic status, unhealthy eating patterns, psychosocial factors, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Excess body fat significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. Although optimal body fat levels vary, excess fat increases the risk of health issues such as joint problems and cardiovascular disease. People widely use bioimpedance analysis (BIA), an efficient, non-invasive method, to assess nutritional status and body composition. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) method, which is carried out at PT. Narindo, North Jakarta, in the productive age population. The examination results showed that the average levels of total body fat, visceral fat, total subcutaneous fat, total muscle mass were 28.6%; 11%; 22.2%; 28.3%. Early detection of body composition is critical for assessing nutritional and health status as well as diagnosing disease, potentially reducing obesity-related morbidity and mortality.

Body composition refers to the various components that make up a person's body weight, such as lean mass (muscle, water, bones, ligaments, and tendons) and fat mass. As we age, significant changes occur in body composition, including increased fat mass and decreased muscle and bone mass, which often leads to sarcopenic obesity. This condition, which is common in older adults, is associated with frailty, disability, metabolic syndrome, reduced survival rates in certain cancers, and osteopenia/osteoporosis. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method to measure the body composition of elderly participants at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. A total of 40 participants underwent body composition examinations. The examination results showed that the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and skeletal muscle mass were 36.7% each; 8%; 27.6%; and 20.7%. We need to carry out routine body composition checks for early detection to provide timely management, ultimately improving long-term public health.

Aging is associated with significant changes in body composition, specifically a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat mass. These changes contribute to the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly population, impacting quality of life, morbidity and mortality. A complex interaction between hormonal decline, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced physical activity underlies these changes. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly at St. Mary's Church, Francis of Assisi. We use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which includes total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Among 32 participants, the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass were 36.5% each; 9.6%; 9.68%; and 21.5%. Body composition assessment using BIA is very important in managing the elderly's health. Preventive strategies, including tailored exercise programmes, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications, are essential to maintain muscle mass and prevent excessive fat deposition, thereby improving quality of life and reducing morbidity and mortality.

Obesity, characterised by excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, poses significant health risks. The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia's adult population increased from 14.8% in 2013 to 21.8% in 2018, with central obesity rising from 26.6% to 31%. Contributing factors include genetics, lifestyle, psychological stress, and socioeconomic status. Although the Body Mass Index (BMI) is a standard measurement for assessing obesity, BMI does not accurately reflect the composition or distribution of body fat. Therefore, additional anthropometric measurements such as waist and hip circumference are essential. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) methodology to screen for obesity in adults at Kalam Kudus Middle School, West Jakarta. Of the 129 participants, 26 people (20.16%) were overweight and 35 people (27.14%) were obese. Waist circumference indicated central obesity in 61 women (47.29%) and 19 men (14.73%). Hip circumference showed that 9 men and women (6.98%) had a high risk of metabolic disease. Anthropometric measurements provide important insights into obesity and its health implications, emphasising the need for regular screening and lifestyle modification.

Chicken eggs are a food commodity with high interest and demand in society. Chicken eggs contain complete nutrients needed by the human body, but chicken eggs cannot be stored for long periods. Therefore, this research aims to find the best egg preservation method so that eggs can be stored without changing the important composition of the egg. The materials used are fresh chicken eggs, hot water, and limestone. The method used is preserving eggs with various media: (P0) eggs without preservation, (P1) preserving with limestone, and (P2) preserving eggs by dipping in hot water. Each egg was stored for 7 days at room temperature. The results showed that storing eggs for 7 days using various preservation methods did not significantly affect (P>0.05) of the values of shell thickness, specific gravity, egg cleanliness, and egg texture. This research suggests that storing raw eggs does not require preservation if the eggs are only stored for 7 days. It is best to store it for more than 7 days.
