Keywords:
peran posyandu, lansia, kesehatan lansiaAbstract
The Kemuning Elderly Posyandu has a very important role in improving the quality of life and health of the elderly in the Kayon Health Center work area. This Posyandu is a community-based health service, with the main objective of monitoring, maintaining, and improving the health of the elderly through various programs. Based on data at the Kemuning Posyandu, there are 50 elderly people registered, but the participation of the elderly in participating in the elderly posyandu is still low. This community service activity uses a health education method about healthy eating patterns, the importance of physical activity, stress management, prevention of non-communicable diseases, and education about self-care in old age is carried out periodically. The results of this activity show a significant increase in the level of participation of the elderly in the posyandu, followed by an increase in knowledge about reproductive health. In addition, the elderly also show a more active attitude in maintaining their health independently. It is hoped that this community service can increase the role of the posyandu in the health of the elderly in the Kayon Health Center area
