Dementia is a disorder of cognitive function that results in disruption of daily activities and the quality of life of sufferers. In Boyolali Regency, the phenomenon of dementia is increasing along with the increase in the number of the elderly. However, public understanding of the symptoms and early treatment of dementia is still low. This Community Service Program aims to increase public knowledge and awareness of dementia through education, brain gym training, and early detection of dementia through the Clock Drawing Test (CDT). The activity was carried out at Posyandu Winong, Karangduwet Village with interactive lectures, joint discussions, and demonstrations. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an increase in participants' understanding of dementia from 24% in the pre-test to 80% in the post-test. Through this program, it shows that the participants gain important insights on the importance of maintaining cognition from an early age and doing physical activities such as Brain Gym regularly.

The aging process in the elderly population can lead to changes in body posture, often resulting in kyphosis, which exacerbates postural balance disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between kyphosis posture incidence and postural balance disorders among the elderly in Jebres, Surakarta. The research design employed was an observational analytic correlation with a cross-sectional design, utilizing purposive sampling techniques. The independent variable was kyphosis, while the dependent variable was balance disorders. The instruments used included the Unteberger test for assessing balance and the Occiput-to-Wall distance test for measuring kyphosis. Results from the study revealed that out of 67 respondents from a total population of 75 elderly individuals, 30 (44.77%) experienced kyphosis, with 23 (34.32%) presenting hyper kyphosis. Additionally, 53 (79.10%) respondents exhibited balance disorders, while 14 (20.89%) did not have kyphosis or balance disorders. Bivariate analysis using the Spearman rho test demonstrated a significant correlation between Balance Disorders and Kyphosis Posture, with a Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of 0.759. The relationship between these two variables was found to be unidirectional, indicating a significant association between the incidence of kyphosis posture and postural balance disorders in the elderly in Jebres, Surakarta. For future research, it is recommended to further explore the specific magnitude of kyphosis angles and their impact on postural balance disturbances
