Health is a condition of comprehensive well-being—physically, psychologically, spiritually, and socially—that enables everyone to engage actively in social and economic activities. Health assessments, encompassing blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid (GCU) levels, are essential for the early identification of degenerative disorders, especially in adults and the elderly. The aging process makes the body progressively vulnerable to homeostatic disorders, potentially resulting in hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and hypercholesterolemia. Regular checkups are essential to prevent complications at the earliest moment. This activity aims to clarify the results of blood pressure and GCU assessments conducted on the elderly in Salam 3 Hamlet, Plumbon Village, Kulon Progo Regency. The assessments were performed directly with the community, focusing on the older population. The assessed parameters comprised blood pressure, random blood glucose levels, total cholesterol levels, and uric acid levels. The test findings were analyzed descriptively to determine the distribution of normal and abnormal values. The test findings indicated that several participants exhibited high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and multiple instances of hyperglycemia and hyperuricemia. This condition indicates a risk for degenerative diseases, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and several metabolic problems. This screening serves as a promotional and preventive strategy to enhance public knowledge regarding health, physical activity, and sustained productivity in elderly years.
