Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a burden for society in general
and become a heavy burden for the Indonesian people, because NCDs are diseases that
will be experienced by a person for a life time. One of the policies in controlling NCDs
that is effective and efficient is empowerment and increasing community participation.
The involvement of women's organizations is one of the activity to help government
programs to prevent NCDs. One of them is Aisyiya. Methods: Community service
activities implemented on September, October and November 2021. The focus of this
activity is to increase the participation of Aisyiyah cadres in Posbindu activities. The
process of this activity includes providing materials to increase understanding of NCDs
early detection efforts through Posbindu activities, being trained to improve skills, as
well as assistance in implementing activities. Activity results: Early detection of NCDs in
implementation includes checking height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol
and uric acid. The results of the implementation, found many non-communicable
diseases in the community, namely hypertension 31%, the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus,
6% and pre-DM 19%. Uric acid 26%, cholesterol 24%. These results illustrate the need for
Posbindu cadres to detect NCDs early. Conclusion Cadres have the ability to detect risk
factors and many people who are detected are at risk of developing NCDs. This activity

factor detection activities.
