Hypertension is one of the major health problem among elderly, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and metabolik disorders. The prevalence of hypertension tends to rise with age, mainly due to physiological changes, unbalanced dietary patterns, and decreased physical activity.In addition, metabolic disturbances such as elevated blood glucose levels, dyslipidemia, and adbominal abesity are often found in the elderly, which further worsen hypertension. Adequate fiber intake is known to play an important role in maintaining cardiometabolic health. Therefore, this community service program was carried out with the aim of improving the elderly’s understanding of the importance of fiber intake in preventing hypertension and managing metabolic status to remain stable in later life. Adequate fiber requirements can help the eldery improve their quality of life by preventing hypertension and regulate metabolic status. The Community service took place on August 20, 2023, at Baitul Maghfirah Mosque, Lempake, with the participation of 15 eldery individuals. The education was delivered through a presentation discussing the role of fiber in maintaining metabolic health. This program had a positive impact, as shown by the increased knowledge pf participants who were to answer questions related to the presenation. Councelling on fiber requirements proved effective in enhancing knowledge and encouraging behavioral changes among the eldery toward a healthier lifestyle. --- Hipertensi merupakan salah satu masalah kesehtatan utama pada lansia yang dapat meningkatkan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular, stroke, dan gangguan metabolik.

Asupan serat yang cukup diketahui memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga kesehatan kardiometabolik. Sehingga Program pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman lansia tentang pentingnya kebutuhan serat dalam mencegah hipertensi dan mengelola status metabolik supaya stabil di usia lanjut. Pemenuhan asupan serat yang memadai dapat membantu lansia meningkatkan kualitas hidup dengan mencegah hipertensi serta menjaga kestabilan gula darah, asam urat, dan kolesterol. Memberikan edukasi kepada lansia mengenai pemenuhan kebutuhan serat untuk mencegah hipertensi dan mengatur status metabolik. Kegiatan ini berlangsung pada 20 Agustus 2023 di Masjid Baitul Maghfirah Lempake, dengan partisipasi 15 lansia.
