Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly among older adults. Integrated Development Posts for Non-Communicable Diseases (Pos Pembinaan Terpadu Penyakit Tidak Menular / Posbindu PTM) play a crucial role in the early detection of NCD risk factors at the community level. This activity aimed to conduct NCD risk factor screening through the measurement of blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid levels, as well as to provide health consultations for participants of Posbindu Rosella, South Kembangan. The activity was conducted in November 2025 using a descriptive design. A total of 30 Posbindu participants were involved. Health examinations included blood pressure, random blood glucose, total cholesterol, and uric acid measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively and classified into normal and abnormal categories based on clinical guidelines. The majority of participants were female (80%), with a mean age of 60.5 ± 9.7 years. The mean systolic blood pressure was within the hypertensive range. Approximately 50% of participants had impaired glucose regulation, 60% experienced hyperuricemia, and 40% had total cholesterol levels classified as borderline or higher.  Health screening activities at Posbindu revealed a high prevalence of NCD risk factors among participants. Posbindu plays an essential role in early detection and community-based prevention of non-communicable diseases.

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.

Successful development encompasses various aspects of community life and cannot be separated from progress in the health sector. Health is one of the key indicators in determining the quality of life of a population. Therefore, attention to health—especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly—is of great importance. Regular health check-ups serve as a preventive measure to help the community detect illnesses early and encourage individuals to take an active role in maintaining their own health. Several types of examinations are commonly provided free of charge during community service activities, including blood pressure checks, random blood glucose tests, uric acid level tests, and cholesterol level screenings. These health checks are especially beneficial for the elderly, as they help monitor overall health conditions and enable early management of diseases to prevent further complications. In this activity, a total of 40 elderly individuals voluntarily participated in the health screening. The methods used included health education sessions and direct examinations of blood pressure, uric acid levels, and random blood glucose levels. The counseling was delivered using simple and clear language, and it included a question-and-answer session to help participants better understand the information provided. The results of the examinations showed that some of the elderly participants had high blood pressure and elevated blood glucose levels, which led to recommendations for follow-up visits to nearby healthcare facilities. Through this health screening initiative, the overall health quality of the elderly participants improved, and their awareness of the importance of early detection increased. This activity is expected to motivate the broader community to pay more attention to their health and to undergo regular health check-ups. By taking a proactive role in managing their well-being, individuals can reduce the risk of serious complications in the future and contribute to the creation of a healthier society overall.

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 common metabolic condition found in the adult population and significantly contributes to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease and stroke. This condition is often asymptomatic, making early detection of total cholesterol and HDL levels a crucial step in identifying the risk of atherosclerosis at an earlier stage. A screening program conducted at the Asisi Church revealed that out of 68 participants, 34 individuals (50%) had abnormal total cholesterol levels, while 10 individuals (14.71%) had very low HDL levels, and 33 individuals (48.53%) had low HDL levels. These findings emphasize the importance of routine lipid profile assessments to prevent more severe cardiometabolic complications. Through education on healthy eating patterns, increased physical activity, and better control of risk factors, the community is expected to maintain optimal lipid profiles and improve overall quality of life.

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 is a metabolic disorder that indicates an increase in lipid levels in the body. Obesity, particularly central obesity, is correlated with hyperlipidemia and metabolic syndrome. Complications of hyperlipidemia such as coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure can be fatal if left untreated. Education and early detection of hyperlipidemia are crucial to prevent serious complications and maintain good health. This community service involved 50 elderly at Santa Anna Elderly Care Facility. All respondents participated in a series of activities, including education through posters, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests. Results of the diagnostic tests indicated 2 respondents had LDL levels ? 135 mg/dL, 6 respondents had HDL levels < 40 mg/dL, and 12 respondents had total cholesterol levels ? 200 mg/dL. The results of the education activities are expected to increase public awareness, all of which can reduce the overall healthcare burden when applied correctly and properly.
