Most of the members of the Posyandu Lansia in the working area of the Mulyorejo Health Center are gout sufferers. These community service activities include: 1) monitored uric acid levels of members of the Posyandu Lansia 2) health education for elderly members and cadres about gout: definition, symptom signs, and gout diet with Bodesera media (Booklets and Models of Uric Acid-Free Healthy Foods) 3) training on how to use gout test kits for elderly cadres and 4) administering gout tests to elderly cadres. The results of the pre-test showed that elderly gout sufferers, and elderly cadres had diverse knowledge about the definition of gout, diet of gout, signs of gout and how to check gout. These results are still at less value, while the results of the post-test assessment indicate that the participants' knowledge has increased.

Salah satu faktor yang diduga sangat berperan terhadap kejadian hipertensi adalah gaya hidup yang tidak sehat, yaitu kurangnya aktifitas fisik, perilaku merokok, minum-minuman beralkohol, dan pola makan buruk yang dapat memicu obesitas.   Sampai saat ini banyak masyarakat yang beranggapan bahwa hipertensi merupakan penyakit yang menyerang kelompok usia dewasa atau lanjut. Apalagi remaja, mereka menganggap tidak mempunyai masalah dan tidak menyadari arti penting mengetahui tekanan darah, bahaya penyakit hipertensi, faktor-faktor yang berkaitan dengan kejadian hipertensi dan bagaimana mengurangi kemungkinan kejadian hipertensi.  Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan pada remaja di SMK Bhakti Nusantara Mranggen dalam 3 tahap kegiatan, yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Pada tahap persiapan dilakukan pengukuran karakteristik dan pengetahuan awal, selanjutnya dilakukan penyusunan materi pendidikan kesehatan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan dengan metode penyuluhan/ceramah, diskusi, dan leaflet. Pada tahap evaluasi dilakukan pengukuran pengetahuan tahap akhir, pengukuran tekanan darah  dan dilakukan uji beda pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah pendidikan kesehatan.  Hasil pengumpulan data awal mendapatkan sepertiga responden mempunyai pengetahuan yang belum baik tentang hipertensi. Beberapa hal yang belum diketahui oleh semua remaja adalah: hipertensi tidak hanya terjadi pada lansia dan dewasa (33,3%), faktor penyebab dan pencegah hipertensi, serta tanda dan gejala hipertensi. Setelah dilakukan kegiatan berupa penyuluhan mendapatkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan pengetahuan tentang hipertensi pada remaja sebelum dan sesudah pemberian pendidikan kesehatan.
