Peka Gizi: Pemeriksaan Kesehatan dan Konsultasi Gizi sebagai Upaya Edukasi Kesehatan Masyarakat di SDN Jia Bima

Abstract

Peka Gizi is a health and nutrition screening program aimed at raising community awareness about the importance of health and nutrition. The activity was conducted at SDN Jia Bima, involving 46 participants from various age groups. The examination included blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) assessments. Most participants were aged 25–35 years (43%) and 36–46 years (35%). Results showed that 41% had hypertension, 11% had hypotension, and 48% had normal blood pressure. Based on BMI, 20% were categorized as pre-obese, 13% as obese, 11% were underweight, and 56% had normal weight. These findings indicate that over half of the participants were at risk of health issues related to blood pressure and nutritional status. Therefore, educational initiatives like Peka Gizi should be implemented regularly as part of promotive and preventive health interventions.
