Background: Hypertension is a common condition in primary health care, affecting approximately 25% of the adult population and more than 50% of those aged over 65 years. As the "silent killer of hypertension", it can cause stroke, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aims to detect early signs of stroke using the BE-FAST method in the elderly in Karangasem, Bali, and to spread the effectiveness of this method in reducing the risk of stroke. Method: This community-based education program uses the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating and Controlling) approach. A total of 79 elderly participants were recruited and underwent health examinations, including blood pressure measurements and the BE-FAST screening test. The BE-FAST method assesses balance, eyes, face, arms, speech, and timing to identify early signs of stroke. Results: The results showed that 55.7% of participants had hypertension, and 67.1% had difficulty moving their legs and arms on one side of their body. Additionally, 36.7% had difficulty opening their eyes or experienced vision problems, and 32.9% experienced facial weakness or numbness. The BE-FAST method is effective in detecting early signs of stroke, with a sensitivity of 92%. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of early detection of stroke using the BE-FAST method in the elderly population. The research results show that this method is effective in identifying early signs of stroke and can be easily taught and applied in the community. Application of this method can reduce the risk of stroke and associated morbidity and mortality.

Sports injuries are injuries that occur during training, competition or after exercise. Sports injuries occur due to the inability of tissues (muscles, joints, tendons, skin) and other organs to receive training loads during exercise. Factors that influence the occurrence of injuries, namely individual conditions (age, gender, character, experience, warm-up, posture abnormalities), sports facilities (shape and size of equipment), sports characteristics (type of sport), physical environment (temperature and humidity). If not treated immediately, it can cause cerebral vascular disorders (heat stroke) and immediately do an examination if you experience an injury during exercise, so that you can get fast and proper treatment. On this occasion, lecturers from the Faculty of Health Sciences, Anwar Medika University (UAM) Sidoarjo held counseling activities for vocational students in the Krian Sidoarjo sub-district area.

Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure above normal values ​​due to various factors. Normal hypertension values ​​are in the range of 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. Systolic pressure values ​​of more than 139 mmHg and diastolic pressure of more than 89 mmHg are categorized as hypertension. With increasing prevalence, hypertension is becoming a global health problem. In the world, an estimated 1.13 billion people aged 30 to 70 years suffer from hypertension, and this disease is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension is estimated to reach more than 40% in the adult population in 2019 (WHO, 2019). The purpose of this activity is to prevent an increase in the prevalence of hypertension. The method used is to provide counseling and screening for hypertension risk factors. The results obtained are blood pressure data, anthropometry and hypertension exercises. It can be concluded that this activity was successful because there was an increase in the pre-test to post-test value of 25.21 points so that this activity can be sustainable to prevent hypertension patients.

The results of the 2018 Riskesdas show an increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) compared to 2013 data, such as cancer, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased from 6.9% to 8.5%, while hypertension increased from 25.8% to 34.1% based on blood sugar and blood pressure examinations. In this context, community empowerment is very important to increase awareness of the importance of routine health checks and early detection of NCDs. One strategic effort is the establishment of Posbindu in each region to facilitate public health checks. However, several regions, including Cipta Graha Mandiri Housing in Tasikmalaya City, do not yet have Posbindu due to low community participation in routine health checks and limited procurement of Posbindu by the Health Center. This condition risks making people unaware of their health problems, which can cause serious complications and reduce quality of life. Through this empowerment program, it is hoped that the community will be more active in maintaining their health, carrying out early detection of NCDs, and increasing awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
