Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperglycemia are common health problems among adults and can develop into cardiovascular diseases and diabetes if not detected early. This community service activity was carried out to provide education on risk factors, prevention, and control of cholesterol, uric acid, and blood glucose levels among parents of students at RA Avicenna in Sorong City, as well as to conduct examinations of these three parameters as an early detection effort. The methods used included interactive counseling using presentation media, question-and-answer discussions, and health checks using point-of-care testing (POCT) devices. A total of 23 respondents participated, ranging in age from 22 to 55 years. The results showed that 22 individuals had normal blood glucose levels and 1 individual had high glucose levels. Nine people had normal cholesterol levels, eight were in the borderline category, and six had high cholesterol levels. Five participants had normal uric acid levels, while 18 had elevated uric acid levels, for which additional education and recommendations for further medical examination were provided. In conclusion, educational activities combined with health screening proved effective in increasing community awareness and motivation to prevent NCDs early.

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

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the health problems that is often experienced by the elderly and has a major impact on their quality of life, especially because it increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disorders. This condition often does not show symptoms, but the process of atherosclerosis can develop slowly and cause serious complications if not treated early. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented at Panti Werdha Hana aims to increase awareness among the elderly of the importance of early detection of Cholesterol and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels as part of efforts to prevent heart disease. This activity applies the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, including total cholesterol and HDL examinations using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) method, as well as interactive education about risk factors and healthy lifestyles. The results of the activity showed that out of 76 participants, 38 people (50%) had total cholesterol levels above normal, while 22 people (28.95%) had low or very low HDL levels. Early detection through screening has proven effective in identifying cardiovascular risks earlier and providing a basis for timely medical and educational interventions. Through this activity, it is hoped that the elderly can understand their health conditions better and take preventive steps to maintain lipid levels within normal limits, to improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications in the future.

Hypercholesterolemia is a term when total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels increase, while HDL decreases. The causes of high cholesterol today are poor diet, suboptimal physical activity, excessive caffeine consumption, and uncontrolled body weight. The purpose of this community service is to increase public knowledge about hypercholesterolemia, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment. In addition, cholesterol examinations were also carried out on 25 residents using the POCT method.

Hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, significantly increases the risk of atherosclerosis, which causes cardiovascular disease, ischemic stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Genetic tendencies and unhealthy lifestyles such as diet, smoking, and physical activity can cause this. This condition often does not cause symptoms, so it is necessary to carry out regular health checks. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for hyperlipidemia in the elderly at the Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. This activity included 61 respondents, and 28 people (45.9%) experienced hypercholesterolemia. These results highlight the importance of routine lipid screening in identifying individuals at risk early, enabling timely intervention. This examination can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality, thereby improving overall quality of life.

Hyper cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease which is a major cause of death and illness worldwide. Chronic and non-infectious diseases are generally caused by bad lifestyle factors, which can actually be modified. Some of the factors that are at risk for heart disease and stroke are hypertension, cigarette consumption, diabetes, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diets, dyslipidemia, overweight and obesity. The purpose of this community service was to find out an overview of the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia in the area, this screening activity was also expected to be able to initiate cadres and the community to be more active in implementing post-natal activities. Method: This community service activity uses the Community Service approach, by carrying out screening activities forhypercholesterolemia through cholesterol checks on the people in Banjar Tulang Ampian and Banjar Kerta Sari Pemecutan Kaja Village, North Denpasar. Results: A total of 31 people netted had high cholesterol levels of 40240 mg / dL which was dominated by women (63.49%), the most age group was ?51 years (38.62%), most subjects were self-employed / traders (38 , 10%). Conclusion: Increased blood cholesterol levels with age increase are associated with a reduction in cholesterol elimination as bile salts and a decrease in receptors that mediate the clearance process of plasma LDL. Cholesterol levels increase with increasing age and the incidence of coronary heart disease.
