Health care efforts are now aimed at keeping the elderly healthy, active, independent, and productive socially and economically for themselves, their families and the community.

The method applied in this activity is counseling with pre-test and the first post-test and distribution pocket of about nutrition and elderly health. To be able to measure the retained knowledge after the activities, we also carried out the second post-test four weeks after the first meeting. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, and a paired t-test was performed to test the pre-test and post-test data. The total participants who participated in this activity were 144 people consisting of all cadres in Banguntapan Village, plus the elderly and families who have elderly in Karangbendo Hamlet.
