Abstract: Degenerative disease is a medical term which means a disease that occurs as a result of the decline in cell function, from normal to abnormal. This degenerative disease occurs due to smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, lack of consumption of fibrous foods, lack of energy-dense consumption and central obesity. There are many kinds of degenerative diseases, one of which is diabetes mellitus, hypertension, gout arthritis. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out health checks and education related to the variables used as indicators of degenerative diseases. The hope is that when these medical variables can be detected early, prevention can be done as early as possible for the emergence of degenerative diseases in the community around the Muhammadiyah Branch of Mlangi Besar, Sleman Yogyakarta. Based on the examination, the results obtained were that the results of the examination of the people who attended the activity 77.4% had normal blood pressure and the other 16.12% were classified as level 1 hypertension.
