MENELAAH KEAKTIFAN WANITA LANSIA DALAM MENGIKUTI POSYANDU LANSIA DI DESA SEKAR BIRU KECAMATAN PARIT TIGA

Abstract

The approach used in this study is qualitative with observation and interview methods which aim to be able to follow and understand what the life of an elderly person is like in their old age through activities held through the Elderly Posyandu. The research location is determined in an area where the number of elderly people is quite active. Based on the results of interviews and observations that have been made, that in Sekar Biru Village, Parit Tiga District, West Bangka Regency, elderly women were found whose old age was used by participating in physical activities such as elderly gymnastics. These activities can make the elderly healthier and less lonely when they gather with the elderly. This makes their life meaningful. It is hoped that this can be applied by the elderly in other places as well so that they can avoid disease and the loneliness of old age.
