Gout Arthritis, Health Education, Relapse Prevention, Elderly, Community ServiceAbstract
Gout arthritis is a metabolic disease that often occurs in the elderly and is influenced by unhealthy lifestyles, especially a diet high in purines, obesity, and lack of physical activity. The high incidence of gout arthritis in Bahkapul Village, Pematangsiantar City indicates the need for preventive measures through health education. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge about preventing gout arthritis recurrence, particularly through maintaining ideal body weight and meeting body fluid needs. The method used was health education through outreach, discussion, and question and answer sessions with the community. The activity was carried out on November 4, 2025, involving 27 participants and 2 lecturers, in collaboration with the Bahkapul Village Government. The results showed high participant enthusiasm and increased public understanding of the causes, prevention, and control of gout arthritis. Health education has proven to play a crucial role in increasing public awareness to adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent recurrence and complications of gout arthritis.
