Women of Reproductive Age (WRA), Landfill, Reproductive Health, Community Based ServiceAbstract
Residential areas located near final disposal sites (landfills) are potentially exposed to environmental contamination that may adversely affect public health, particularly women of reproductive age (WRA) as a vulnerable group in reproductive health. Women of reproductive age residing in Hamlet 5 of Tadukan Raga Village, Deli Serdang Regency, live within a radius of less than 500 meters from the landfill. which necessitates preventive efforts and community-based strengthening of reproductive health. Although systemic risks such as infertility and irregular menstrual cycles among WRA in this area currently remain theoretical based on literature reviews, this close proximity must be viewed as an urgent early warning given their high vulnerability to pollutant exposure, thereby necessitating community-based prevention efforts. This community service activity aimed to improve the reproductive health status of WRA through body weight and height measurements, anemia screening, reproductive health history assessments, and environmental condition evaluations. The community service method employed a community based service approach involving healthcare professionals and village health volunteers. The activity was conducted on October 9, 2025, through the stages of preparation, health screenings, and the completion of reproductive health and environmental questionnaires. A total of 29 WRA actively participated in this activity. The results showed that the majority of participants had normal nutritional status; however, 17.2% experienced mild to moderate anemia. In addition, indications of reproductive health problems were identified, including a history of miscarriage, preterm birth, and low birth weight, which were associated with environmental conditions. This activity contributed to increased awareness, the availability of reproductive health data among WRA, and reinforced the importance of continuous early detection of reproductive health problems in high risk areas.
