Abstract

Background Behind: Dementia is a cognitive disorder experienced by the elderly
in general involving a decrease in the ability to remember, both short-term and longterm memory, which develops gradually in line with the ageing process with
conditions characterized by a marked reduction in memory in the elderly.
Objective: This community service activity aims to determine the results of
cognitive function examinations in older people using MMSE at the Banjarmasin
Elderly. Method Study: This community service activity is carried out by
conducting MMSE screening on older people, providing explanations based on the
examination results, and recording the recapitulation. Results: Based on the results,
it was found that participants were able to take the Mini-Mental Status Examination
(MMSE) in the normal category with a total of 10 people (100). Evaluation of the
implementation of the activity can be measured through the abilities of each
participant so that the achievement of the assessment objectives focuses on the
individual and this activity. Conclusion: This activity is carried out as a step to
prevent dementia. Participants gain new knowledge and health benefits from the
results of the examinations carried out. In this activity, the SPO MMSE instrument,
which has been standardized and recognized by professionals, is used to assess the
cognitive function of older people accurately
