Hyperglycemia is a condition of elevated blood sugar levels that can potentially lead to various health complications if not controlled early. This condition is often influenced by unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and low awareness among adolescents regarding regular blood sugar checks. Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to lifestyle changes, putting them at risk of developing metabolic disorders later in life. This community service activity aims to increase adolescent knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of hyperglycemia and the importance of preventive measures from school age. The activity was carried out at SMK Nurul Ulum Lebaksiu, involving 59 students as participants. The methods used included health education through audio-visual media, interactive lectures, discussions, and Random Blood Sugar (GDS) tests for early detection. The results of the activity showed an increase in student knowledge based on a comparison of pre-test and post-test scores, as well as the implementation of GDS tests on all participants. This activity is expected to foster healthy lifestyle behaviors and increase adolescent awareness of the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Hypertension is a highly prevalent non-communicable disease often referred to as "The Silent Killer" because it rarely shows symptoms until it causes serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. This community service activity aims to optimize the Mobile Blood Pressure Monitoring Program as a hypertension screening method in Sanahu Village. The methods used include participant data collection, blood pressure checks with a manual sphygmomanometer, and health education on hypertension prevention. A total of 96 participants participated in this activity, and the results showed that 58 participants (60.4%) were hypertensive. This program has proven effective in reaching communities with limited access to health services and raising public awareness about the importance of early detection of non-communicable diseases. In addition, this activity succeeded in providing knowledge to the community about how to prevent hypertension and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which is expected to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the future.

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.

The incidence of degenerative diseases, which are part of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), remains a major cause of death worldwide and in many regions of Indonesia. Meanwhile, efforts to prevent degenerative diseases affecting the adolescent age group are still rare, such as the establishment of a Youth Posyandu, including in Sungai Duren Village. There is no health post that provides youth care services in Sungai Duren Village, while there are many teenagers living there (students under 21 years old) with various lifestyles that are at risk of degenerative diseases. This study aims to analyze the increase in adolescent knowledge about CERDIK between before and after the establishment of the Youth Posyandu in order to prevent degenerative diseases early. This study is a quasi-experimental study involving 30 adolescents by measuring the dependent variable of knowledge. The research instrument used is a questionnaire. Computerized data processing and analysis were conducted through descriptive statistical analysis and T-test analysis. The results showed a significant difference in respondents' knowledge of CERDIK before and after the establishment of the Youth Posyandu in Sungai Duren Village (p=0.000). This study indicates that structured health education can improve adolescents' understanding of CERDIK and can be used as an effective promotive and preventive strategy.

The low level of understanding among elementary school students regarding common diseases and their prevention can increase the risk of both communicable and non-communicable diseases from an early age. Therefore, effective health education efforts are essential to instill healthy habits in children. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of elementary school students in the working area of Labuhan Sumbawa Public Health Center about common diseases and preventive measures through an interactive educational approach. The methods used included health counseling with visual media, engaging educational games, and small group discussions to encourage active participation. The activity was conducted in June 2025, involving 30 students from two elementary schools selected purposively. The educational content focused on dengue fever, diarrhea, influenza, helminthiasis, and acute respiratory infections (ARI), along with prevention strategies such as maintaining personal hygiene, consuming nutritious food, and the importance of immunization. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure the improvement in students’ understanding. The results showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge of the delivered material. Additionally, students demonstrated high enthusiasm and active involvement during the sessions, particularly in the educational games. These findings indicate that an interactive educational approach is effective in enhancing students’ understanding of disease prevention. This program is expected to serve as a model for sustainable health education in other elementary schools to prevent diseases from an early age and support the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors within the school environment

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, pose significant health risks for the elderly in Indonesia, including those in Aneuk Paya Village, Lhoknga District, Aceh Besar. These conditions, if left unmanaged, can lead to severe complications, impacting the quality of life of older adults. This community service project aims to improve elderly individuals' understanding of NCDs, as well as their prevention and management, through educational initiatives carried out at the Integrated Health Post (Posbindu). The activities involved interactive counseling sessions, health assessments including blood pressure monitoring, and measurements of body weight, height, waist circumference, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. The community service event, conducted on July 22, 2025, revealed a significant improvement in the elderly participants’ knowledge about NCDs. Notably, 83% of the participants gained a better understanding of the prevention of NCDs, while 70% reported improved knowledge regarding blood sugar and blood pressure management. Moreover, there was a noticeable increase in the number of elderly individuals attending regular Posbindu visits, which suggests a growing commitment to managing their health. Health education through Posbindu has proven to be an effective tool in raising awareness and changing health behaviors among the elderly, helping to prevent NCD complications. The project demonstrates the pivotal role of Posbindu not only in promoting NCD prevention but also in providing continuous support to the elderly in managing their health, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. This initiative highlights the importance of local health programs in addressing the growing prevalence of NCDs in elderly populations and emphasizes the need for further community-based health interventions.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with chronic inflammation as a key pathophysiological mechanism. Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables have demonstrated potential to modulate inflammatory immune responses, thus contributing to NCD prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fruit and vegetable consumption promotion policies in preventing NCDs by modulating inflammatory immune responses in Nabire District in 2025. The research employed a mixed-methods design, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data from 384 adult respondents. Data were gathered through food consumption surveys, inflammatory biomarker analysis (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α), and an evaluation of policy implementation. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted using SPSS 28.0 and R version 4.3.0. Results revealed that average fruit and vegetable consumption in Nabire residents remained below the WHO recommended intake (289g/day vs. 400g/day), although there was a noticeable improvement compared to previous years. A significant negative correlation was found between antioxidant intake and inflammatory biomarkers (r=-0.478, p<0.001). Policy implementation reached 74% coverage with a 62% compliance rate, indicating significant improvements in reach compared to prior assessments. The study concludes that fruit and vegetable consumption promotion policies show enhanced potential in modulating inflammatory immune responses for NCD prevention. However, continued efforts in strengthening policy implementation and adopting innovative monitoring strategies, particularly through digital health technologies, are essential for achieving sustained impact

The National Health Insurance (JKN) program, administered by BPJS Kesehatan, has significantly expanded public access to healthcare services, particularly inpatient care. This study aims to analyze inpatient JKN reimbursement patterns at Surakarta General Government Hospital during the period of 2020 to 2024. The analysis focuses on five main variables: INA-CBGs grouping codes, class of care, severity level, INA-CBGs tariff, and actual hospital costs. A descriptive-analytic method with a quantitative approach was employed, utilizing secondary data extracted from the INA-CBGs system. The results indicate that inpatient reimbursements were predominantly concentrated in Class 3 services (64%–70%) and severity level 1 (45%–59%). From 2020 to 2022, respiratory-related cases dominated, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while in 2023–2024 a shift occurred toward non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. A consistent negative tariff gap was identified, particularly in Class 3 and severity level 1, where INA-CBGs reimbursements were insufficient to cover actual service costs. These findings underscore the importance of periodic review of INA-CBGs tariff structures, reinforcement of Quality and Cost Control (KMKB), and optimization of reimbursement management information systems to enhance service efficiency and ensure the financial sustainability of JKN, especially in Type C hospitals that serve as the primary level of healthcare delivery.

College students are in early adulthood, a critical developmental stage marked by physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes that can significantly impact dietary behaviors, including fruit and vegetable consumption. Adequate intake of fruits and vegetables is essential for maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable intake among college students often falls below the levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This study aimed to validate a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) for assessing total fruit and vegetable intake among college students in Surabaya City, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 30 active university students. The SQ-FFQ method produced higher intake estimates compared to the Estimated Food Record. A statistically significant and strong correlation was found between the two methods (p < 0.001, r > 0.7), indicating strong agreement. These findings support the SQ-FFQ as a valid tool for measuring total fruit and vegetable intake in this population.

The output of the PkM that has been implemented is in the form of reports and publications of articles so that they can be accessed by all parties who need related articles.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global health challenge, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Early identification of NCDs in the productive age group is very important considering the contribution of the productive age group to the national workforce and its impact on the health of future generations. This community service activity aims to increase awareness and participation in school-based non-communicable disease screening programs, especially at St. Yoseph High School, East Jakarta. The implementation of screening activities includes anthropometric examinations, blood pressure, blood sugar, and short interviews. Students with unhealthy lifestyles, such as lack of physical activity and unbalanced diets, are at high risk of developing non-communicable diseases. This activity encourages public awareness of the importance of maintaining health to prevent non-communicable diseases. This can reduce the global health burden and the economic burden for advanced disease care. Thus, this activity can improve the quality of life of the productive age population in the future.

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.

The problem of under-five nutrition, especially stunting, is still the focus of the government. Stunting in toddlers can have an impact on physical, mental and emotional development, as well as brain development. Children who suffer from stunting, as adults, will be more susceptible to diseases, both infectious and non-communicable diseases. Jambi Province's stunting prevalence of 13.5% in 2023 has not yet reached the reduction target. Based on SSGI in 2021, the stunting prevalence rate in Jambi City is 14.0%. This study aims to determine the effect of healthy food education on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers. This study is a quasi-experimental study (pre- test and post-test), the respondents were mothers of toddlers in Pinang Merah Village, Jambi City. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study were an increase in knowledge seen from the results of the pre- test and post-test which statistically proved a significant increase in knowledge (p-value <0.001). It is concluded that there is an effect of healthy food education on the knowledge of mothers of toddlers. It is hoped that local health centers will often carry out counseling or educational activities to the community to increase knowledge, attitudes and behavior so as to increase the degree of public health.

Hypertension is a health problem that is often found in society with a prevalence in Indonesia of 30.8%, is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that are still a health problem in Indonesia because of their contribution to cardiovascular disease as a contributor to morbidity and mortality in society. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age, gender and obesity status with the incidence of hypertension, through a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted on 219 respondents using a total sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed univariately and bivariately. The results of the univariate analysis showed that the percentage of hypertension was 18.72% and the percentage of obesity was 40.2%. The results of the bivariate analysis using the Chi square test produced a significance level of p-value of 0.000 (significant) between age and obesity with a PR value of 3.47 (CI 1.22-9.87) for the age group above 54 years, and a PR value of 2.66 (CI 1.21-5.81) for the age group 46-54 years (with the age group 18-45 years as a reference). The results of the bivariate analysis using the Chi square test between gender and obesity produced a p-value of 0.0040 with a PR of 0.45. The results of the chi square test between obesity and hypertension were proven to be statistically significant with a PR of 1.90, meaning that respondents with obesity had a 1.9 times greater risk of suffering from hypertension than people without hypertension.

The study was to describe the nutritional status of participants in the Integrated Development Post for Non-Communicable Diseases. The method used was descriptive quantitative with 35 respondents. Respondents were measured anthropometrically including weight, height, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) then descriptive analysis was carried out using SPSS. The results showed that respondents who had BMI in the obesity category were 15 (42.90%), normal 14 (40%) and obese 6 (17.10%) and based on the measurement of waist circumference, respondents who experienced central obesity were 30 (85.70%) and not central obesity were 5 (14.30%). Conclusion: Maintaining nutritional status is very beneficial because someone who is overweight is at risk of experiencing several diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and heart disease.

Non-communicable diseases cannot be transmitted to others, but their development occurs slowly over a long period of time. One of the non-communicable diseases that is a priority in global health today is hypertension. Hypertension often causes complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. The aim is to describe the incidence of hypertension in Posbindu PTM Bumiroso participants. The quantitative descriptive method using the total sampling technique obtained 38 respondents. The data was analyzed descriptively to describe the results of the respondents' blood pressure examinations. The results of the study based on the classification of hypertension, participants who experienced pre-hypertension and hypertension level 1 were 12 (31.58%), hypertension level 2 was 9 (23.68%) and normal was 5 (12.16%). The conclusion is that more than half of Posbindu PTM participants experience hypertension, as a suggestion, they can carry out routine checks at the nearest health facility.    

Diabetes is one of the non-communicable diseases that is considered dangerous due to its susceptibility to complications. This disease is caused by high blood sugar levels in a person's body, which makes the blood more alkaline and slows down the metabolic process. In this study, we observed 8 variables that are considered influential in diabetes and will build a regression model that can predict the response variable (y) through Logistic Regression Analysis. Logistic Regression Analysis is a statistical analysis method used to describe the relationship between a dependent variable with two or more categories and one or more independent variables that are categorical or continuous. Based on the results, the logistic regression model for factors influencing diabetes in the Indian Pima tribe includes variables such as number of pregnancies, glucose level, blood pressure, body mass index, and diabetes pedigree function

The epidemiological transition from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases is expected to occur massively in 2030, both at the regional, national, and global levels. It is estimated that the number of deaths due to non-communicable diseases and accidents will increase. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases include hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases (Putri et al., 2023). In 2021, in Brebes Regency, there were 666,732 cases of hypertension in the population aged 15 years and over. Around 257,361 hypertension sufferers have visited health services (Fadriana & Wilis, 2023).

ABSTRACT Cigarette consumption is one of the main risk factors that can cause various non-communicable diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and even death. In a cigarette, there are around 70 substances that can cause cancer and contain more than 5,000 chemicals that can have a negative impact on health. In Indonesia, cigarette consumption is regulated by the Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 109 of 2012 concerning the Safeguarding of Materials Containing Addictive Substances in the Form of Tobacco Products for Health. In chapter IV, the fifth section, Articles 49-52 regulate non-smoking areas where someone cannot consume cigarettes in non-smoking areas. This research is descriptive research with survey methods and sample collection using purposive sampling from Tarumanagara University cleaning service with a sample size of 108 respondents. As many as 67.6% of respondents were male and 71.3% were active smokers. Conclusion: most respondents (78.8%) had good knowledge about the dangers of smoking and as many as 89.8% were aware of government regulations governing cigarette consumption
