rapid test method for checking cholesterol, blood sugar, while blood pressure was checked using
a digital sphygmomanometer, and height and weight were measured to obtain BMI data. The
activity is carried out in December 2021-January 2022. The location of the activity is RW 15,
Sindanggalih Village, Karangpawitan, Garut Regency with 50 participants. The results of the
