Abstract

                                                           ABSTRACT

Background: The purpose of a healthy lifestyle is to improve the health status of the community. The still high levels of uncontrolled Infectious Diseases, coupled with the increasing prevalence of Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs), mean that Indonesia faces a dual burden in disease eradication. The development of health in Indonesia is currently confronted with a Triple Burden, namely the high number of cases of infectious diseases, the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, as well as the re-emergence of diseases that were previously managed (re-emerging infectious diseases) or the emergence of new diseases (new emerging infectious diseases). The aim of this community service activity is to change community behavior towards a healthy lifestyle to address infectious diseases and control non-communicable diseases. A survey was conducted in RW 19, Pondok Benda Village, South Tangerang City, which found many community groups that fall into the pre-elderly and elderly categories as vulnerable groups to infectious diseases and vulnerable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The method of the community service activities includes education/information regarding infectious diseases and NCDs, as well as Jelita exercise, followed by the Jelita exercise, and after the exercise, blood pressure, blood sugar, and infectious disease screenings are conducted. Activities are held weekly four times over a month. The results of the community service activities saw attendance of 28 people at community service 1 in Posyandu RT 02; 29 people at community service 2 in RT 03 field; 28 people at community service 3 in RT 04 field; and 24 people at community service 4 in RT 05 field. The results of screening for infectious diseases showed that there were no community members participating in the service who exhibited signs of infectious diseases such as ARI, diarrhea, or TB, nor were they diagnosed with such infectious diseases in the last month. The results of community service regarding blood pressure and random blood sugar (RBS) measurements indicated that during each examination, the values were controlled and tended to decrease in those who had been diagnosed with chronic non-communicable diseases (PTM) in question. It is recommended from this community service that the public can continue the physical activity of Jelita gymnastics to improve health. For the STIKes Widya Dharma Husada Tangerang, it is suggested to collaborate with the nearest health facilities to follow up on the findings obtained during the community service.
