Abstract
Elderly are part of the human growth and development process. According to the World Health Organization (2010), the number of Indonesians living over 60 years reached 20.7 million, which later increased by 36 million. The enhancement of life expectancy causes the population's life expectancy (>75 years) to increase rapidly in the country. It will impact the shift pattern of disease from infection to degenerative illness. Some of the frequent degenerative illnesses that happen in the elderly are arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and cholesterol. In Indonesia, the incidence of diabetes mellitus is in second place after China, which is 9.116 million, with a prevalence of 5.8%. WHO also states that people living with arthritis reach 81% of the population in Indonesia. The high number of sufferers of gout, diabetes mellitus, and cholesterol is caused by changes in lifestyle and a lack of awareness among elderly. This community service activity aims to find out the highest level of uric acid, blood glucose and cholesterol and the most suffered elderly among those levels as well as doing education health. Community service activities were held on November 26, 2023, in commemoration of the 90th Anniversary of Paroki St. Maria Tak Bernoda Rangkasbitung. The methods used in the activity are lectures and demonstrations to 52 elderly. The result of the activities is that elderly can maintain their lifestyle and improve their health status. It is best to carry out a general medical check-up every 6 months to monitor uric acid, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels, especially for elderly.
