Abstract

Background: Older adults are a vulnerable population at risk of various health problems due to degenerative aging processes. The elderly posyandu (integrated health post) is a community based health service that plays an important role in early detection, disease management, and prevention of health deterioration among older adults. In 2024, the number of older adults in Kebumen Regency reached 137.065 individuals. However, the level of participation of older adults in posyandu activities varies, which may influence their overall health condition. This condition is evident in Jemur Village, where some older adults are not actively attending posyandu activities (55.2%), resulting in suboptimal health monitoring. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the activity level of older adults in participating in posyandu activities and the health problems experienced by older adults in Jemur Village. Methods: This study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of older adults in Jemur Village, with a total sample of 87 respondents. Data were collected using an elderly activity observation sheet and a health assessment questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Chi Square test. Results: The findings showed that most older adults had low participation in posyandu activities (55.2%) and the majority experienced health problems (89.7%). The Chi-Square test revealed a p-value of 0.038 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the level of participation in posyandu activities and the health problems experienced by older adults. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between elderly participation in posyandu activities and the health problems they experience. Recommendations: Future researchers are encouraged to include additional variables such as dietary patterns, physical activity, and family support to obtain a more comprehensive analysis.
