Posyandu Gonilan is one of the posyandu in Gonilan village, Kartasura, Surakarta which is aimed at the elderly, based on observations with the partners, the posyandu has problems with body balance in the elderly caused by excess weight. Partners also do not know about the prevention and examination of excess weight as an effort to support body balance in the elderly. The purpose of this community service is to increase community knowledge about body balance and waist circumference measurement procedures. The method of implementing activities is carried out in several stages, including; (1) observation, (2) preparation, (3) implementation, (4) evaluation. The waist circumference examination was carried out using the RLPP measurement (waist and pelvis circumference ratio). Then in order to support body balance efforts in the elderly, education is given about body balance by delivering material using leaflets and giving prizes. This activity ran smoothly and had a positive impact on posyandu Gonilan, especially in providing a lot of knowledge about waist circumference and body balance. The author hopes that the partners can continue this activity every time posyandu is held.
