Keywords:

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia (gout) remain a
major health problem in rural communities. This community service activity aims to detect early risk factors for
NCDs and raise public awareness through free health checks and health education. The implementation method
includes checking blood pressure, blood sugar, and uric acid levels, accompanied by providing individual
outcome-based education. The activity was conducted in Glidag Hamlet, targeting women from the Aisyiyah
religious study group and the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). The results showed that the majority of
participants experienced hypertension and high uric acid levels, while high blood sugar levels were found in
only a small number of participants. Thus, this activity not only serves as early detection but also successfully
raises awareness in Glidag Hamlet regarding the importance of preventing NCDs.
