Abstract

The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in younger age is concerningly increasing in developing countries, including Indonesia. Modified risk factors, namely lifestyle, smoking and diet, have more impact than genetic predisposition. The increased amount of Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) will significantly increase the risk for renal functional deterioration. The potential of risks was exacerbated by the presence of small stalls in the designated Islamic boarding school, in which they sold instant noodles and powdered drinks. In this regard, we attempted to raise awareness of CKD in the young generation of an Islamic boarding school. A community service targeted middle schoolers, high schoolers and educators by giving a health seminar regarding kidney health and booklet launching. Dietary behavior and tests to assess CKD knowledge were taken. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the improvement of knowledge. A total of 102 participants were included, with the majority being of adolescent age (77.4%) and the least from young adult age (>19 years old) as educators (22.5%). 35 (33.9%) participants consume more than three UPFs items daily. The most consumed were packaged snacks, instant noodles, and sweetened drinks. The knowledge level was considerably low prior to the seminar. There was a significant improvement in knowledge after receiving a seminar in which the pre-test median score was 11.5 and increased to score 20 in the post-test (p<0.0001). Although CKD is more prevalent in older people, bad habits include smoking, consuming high sugar intake, and UPFs will increase the risk for young people to develop CKD. Building on this, boarding schools should supervise the types of food sold in the community. A simple seminar for young generations could increase knowledge and awareness. Similar targeted efforts to raise awareness in the often-overlooked Islamic boarding school can potentially be implemented elsewhere.
