Analysis of Elderly Health Examination Data For Early Detection of Non-Communicable Diseases At Bayat Health Center in 2025

Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), which include conditions such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease, are significant contributors to the rate of illness and mortality in Indonesia's elderly population. The study is designed to examine in depth the results of early detection of NCDs in the elderly based on health screening data in 2025, as well as identify risk factors that contribute to the increased incidence of NCDs. This study applies a descriptive-analytical quantitative design that is carried out using a cross-sectional approach. The population of this research sample includes 50 elderly individuals who participated in routine health check-ups at the Posyandu Elderly and Bayat Health Center, the working area of the Lamandau Regency Health Office. Data was collected through Posyandu Elderly visit data and standardized questionnaires that included  variables analyzed including blood pressure, blood glucose levels, body mass index (BMI), medical history, and healthy lifestyle practices. Statistical analysis was conducted through Chi-Square test and logistic regression analysis to identify the correlation between risk factors and the prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). The findings of the study indicate that 64% of the study subjects are classified as at high risk of facing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Specifically, the prevalence for hypertension is 42%, diabetes mellitus is 27%, and obesity is 35%. The identification of factors that significantly influence the occurrence of NCDs highlights smoking habits (p=0.002), physical activity deficiency (p=0.014), and high-fat food consumption patterns (p=0.021) as the main contributors. Based on logistic regression analysis, elderly individuals who have a smoking habit are 2.8 times more likely to experience NCDs when compared to non-smoking individuals. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of community-based early detection programs and strengthening health education for the elderly in preventing an increase in NCD cases. These findings are expected to be the basis for the development of sustainable preventive and promotive health policies at the primary service level.
