Abstract
Elderly or elderly is someone who is over 55 years old. Elderly people experience various changes both physically, mentally and socially. The elderly are vulnerable to degenerative diseases or non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The high prevalence of NCDs in Indonesia is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data for 2018 shows that 95.5% of Indonesian people do not consume enough vegetables and fruit. Controlling PTM is important to prevent death.
