Stroke merupakan penyakit gangguan fungsional otak dengan manifestasi klinis bervariasi, yang terjadi mendadak akibat gangguan peredaran darah otak. Di Indonesia, stroke merupakan penyebab mortalitas dan disabilitas utama di samping prevalensinya yang terus meningkat. Upaya promotif dan preventif masih menjadi prioritas utamadalam upaya menurunkan morbiditas, disabilitas dan mortalitas. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini merupakan kegiatan promotif berupa penyuluhan mengenai stroke dan preventif berupa skrining faktor risiko stroke langsung kepada masyarakat lanjut usia. Skrining dilakukan terhadap delapan faktor risiko stroke yaitu tekanan darah, irama jantung, status merokok, kadar kolesterol, diabetes mellitus, olah raga, indeks massa tubuh dan riwayat stroke dalam keluarga. Kegiatan pengabsian masyarakat ini dihadiri 55 orang lanjut usia, laki-laki 21 orang (38,2%) dan perempuan (61,8%). Berdasarkan total skoring risiko stroke didapatkan 20 orang (36,4%) memiliki risiko stroke tinggi, 29 orang (52,9% memiliki risiko stroke sedang dan sisanyanya 6 orang (10,9%) memiliki risiko stroke rendah. Total peserta skrining yang memiliki risiko stroke sedang sampai tinggi (89,1%). Artinya hasil skrining ini bisa sekaligus menjawab mengapa prevalensi stroke di Indonesia terus mengalami peningkatan. Kelompok risiko sedang � tinggi harus dapat segera mendapatkan terapi untuk mencegah kejadian stroke di masa mendatang. Kartu risiko stroke pada pengabdian masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat digunakan secara luas di berbagai tingkat fasilitas kesehatan dan masyarakat secara mandiri dan terus menerus sebagai upaya mencegah kejadian stroke.Stroke is a functional disorder of the brain with various clinical manifestations, all of which occur suddenly due to interruption of cerebral blood flow.
