Abstract
Currently, Indonesia is experiencing a dramatic demographic shift caused by the explosion of the elderly population, or people aged 60 years and older. In 2017, Special Region of Yogyakarta was the province with the highest elderly population in Indonesia. The increase of the elderly population requires action from all parties in anticipating various problems related to the elderly, especially elderly women, including their reproductive health, mental health, and change of nutrition needed. The peri and postmenopausal period constitutes a challenging transition time for women's health, and menopausal health is a crucial aspect in healthy and successful aging. Sleman Regency Government has implemented community-based health service or elderly integrated service post. Health care volunteers (cadres) play an essential role in carrying out the objectives of an elderly integrated service post. Therefore, it requires knowledge and skills enhancement of the cadres about elderly women’s health. Training that included lectures and discussion could improve the knowledge and skills of women elderly health cadres, provide the optimal quality of health service in elderly integrated service post, and increase public awareness about the importance of health services in providing health information for the women elderly.
