Community Education Program With Education and Screening of Vitamin D Levels for Hair Health in the Elderly

The document discusses a community service program aimed at educating the elderly about the importance of vitamin D for hair health. It highlights that hair quality in the elderly often declines, leading to thinning, brittleness, and loss, which can be exacerbated by vitamin D deficiency. The program includes education on obtaining vitamin D through diet and lifestyle, as well as screening for hair health issues using a hair analyzer. The findings indicate problems with hair loss, low hair density, and dead skin cells. The study concludes that effective education and nutritional interventions, including vitamin D supplementation, are crucial for improving hair health and quality of life in the elderly, and that addressing vitamin D deficiency should be an integral part of health programs for this age group.
