Abstract

Degenerative diseases are non-communicable diseases that often occur in the elderly. Degenerative diseases occur due to the aging process in the elderly. Types of degenerative diseases include hypertension, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, diabetes mellitus, gout. To control the presence of degenerative diseases in the elderly so that they do not get worse, early detection is important through health checks. This community service activity aims to detect as early as possible and reduce the risk of disease or treat it more effectively. Early detection is a preventive effort for the elderly. The method used in this community service activity is to conduct a health check. The health checks carried out include blood pressure checks, random blood sugar checks and uric acid checks. The place where community service was carried out was at the RT.08 hall, Babakan Asih sub-district. The number of elderly who participated in the activity was 41 elderly with an age range of 50-78 years. The results of the community service activity were obtained as many as 60.9% of the elderly had hypertension, 7.3% of the elderly had high blood sugar in random blood sugar checks, as many as 29.3% of the elderly had high uric acid. With the existence of early detection of health, it is hoped that this community service activity can be a reference for the elderly to check further to the nearest health service, namely the health center, to be able to undergo treatment. It is necessary to carry out this early detection activity periodically so that changes in the behavior of the elderly in maintaining their health can be seen.
