The Relationship Between Implementation of the Healthy Living Community Movement (Germas) Program Regarding the Health of the Elderly in the Rappang Health Center Working Area
Abstract
Introduction: One of the main problems facing public health services is the global trend of an increasingly aging society which continues to pose major challenges for policy makers and health service providers as well as socio-economic challenges in the health sector. A number of challenges were encountered during the introduction of the GERMAS program, including a lack of awareness regarding physical exercise for the elderly and the importance of physical fitness. Health services rarely provide social education, thus contributing to the ignorance of the elderly.

Method: A cross-sectional technique is employed in the descriptive-analytic study design. The sample in this study was 68 reapondents taken using purposive sampling.
