Cholesterol is a lipid compound produced by the body and obtained from food, functioning to build cell membranes, produce certain hormones, and support metabolic processes in the body. Excessive cholesterol levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This Community Service initiative aims to enhance the understanding and awareness of staff and employees at St. Yoseph High School, Cakung, regarding the risks of high cholesterol and preventive measures through routine screenings and health education. The program follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, encompassing planning for education and screenings, conducting information sessions and cholesterol measurements, evaluating program effectiveness, and implementing follow-up actions for continuous improvement. Education on a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, physical activity, and avoidance of alcohol and smoking, plays a vital role in maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Routine screenings are also essential for the early detection of high cholesterol risks. This initiative is expected to promote healthy behaviors and support improved workplace health by raising awareness about the importance of cholesterol prevention in the work environment.

Obesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, increases susceptibility to chronic disease and adversely impacts overall quality of life. Elderly people often exhibit higher fat mass and lower muscle mass and bone density, influenced by reduced physical activity, hormonal changes, and metabolic adjustments. Visceral fat accumulation is of particular concern because of its association with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework to screen for obesity in the elderly using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference measurements. Activities were held at St. Fransiskus Assisi, Jakarta involving 36 participants. The study revealed that 16 participants (44.5%) and 30 people (83.3%) were obese and centrally obese, respectively. Early detection and intervention through anthropometric measurements are very important in managing health risks related to obesity in the elderly, so as to improve their quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality.
