Introduction: the current health problem in Indonesia is the double burden of disease, namely the presence of infectious diseases plus the increase in non-communicable diseases (NCD).
Objective: this research aims to propose actionable strategies to improve the utilization of Posbindu services, ultimately contributing to the prevention of NCDs at the elderly.
Methodology: the research design with an analytical observational method with a Cross-Sectional approach. The sample in this study was 376 randomly selected. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Labuhan Batu Utara.
Results: the results of the Mann-Whitney statistical test on the knowledge variable obtained a p-value > 0.05, which stated that there was no significant difference in the knowledge of the respondents who used and did not use the program Posbindu.
Discussion: the results of the Independent Sample T-test statistical test on the attitude variable, behaviour variable, family support variable, stakeholder support variable, self-motivation variable, and mileage variable also have a p-value> 0.05, which means that there is no significant difference between the variables of family support, stakeholder support, self-motivation and distance to Posbindu with the respondent groups who use Posbindu and those who do not use.
Conclusion: the elderly who know about the existence of Posbindu, make them live healthier. Because they have gained knowledge about how to live a healthy lifestyle and how to prevent non-communicable diseases. They believe that as they get older, many diseases can infect their bodies so they must start learning to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
