    UNIKOM Holds Free Body Composition Analysis Health Screenings to Promote Early Detection of Disease Risks

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — Awareness of the importance of regular health checkups is a crucial step in maintaining quality of life. Body composition analysis not only helps determine current health but also serves as an early detection for various potential non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and high cholesterol. Consequently, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), through the UNIKOM Medical Center, held a Body Composition Analysis (BCA) health screening event on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Held at the UNIKOM Health Clinic, the event is part of a wellness program intended for the entire academic community, including faculty, staff, and students.

    In an interview, dr. Mutia Utami, a physician at the UNIKOM Medical Clinic, explained that BCA is a standard method for comprehensively assessing body composition. This examination covers various key indicators, such as fat mass, muscle mass, body water content, and bone/mineral mass, as well as BMI and BMR. “This examination is open to everyone, not limited to faculty members but also available to students. The goal is to detect early signs of risk factors for serious diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and high cholesterol,” she explained.

    Furthermore, dr. Mutia added that based on the analysis results, participants can better understand their body condition in greater detail, including whether their weight is ideal or classified as obese, and how fat is distributed throughout the body.

    This event received a very positive response from the UNIKOM academic community. The high level of enthusiasm among participants reflects a growing awareness of the importance of regular health screenings. “The enthusiasm is very high because screenings like this are rarely available for free. They are usually paid services or only available at specific locations like gyms, which are not accessible to everyone,” dr. Mutia stated.

    At the end of the interview, dr. Mutia shared a message with the entire UNIKOM academic community to be more mindful of their health. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between daily activities and a healthy lifestyle. “Everyone already knows the theory of healthy living. It’s about putting it into practice. Maintain a work-life balance, eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, and get routine checkups. Take advantage of the health facilities available on campus to prevent serious illnesses,” she advised.

    Through this BCA health screening, UNIKOM demonstrates its commitment to supporting the health and well-being of its academic community by providing accessible and high-quality healthcare services. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)

  • UNIKOM Medical Center Collaborates with Telkomedika to Hold Free Uric Acid Checkup

    UNIKOM Medical Center Collaborates with Telkomedika to Hold Free Uric Acid Checkup

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Maintaining normal uric acid levels is an important part of maintaining overall health. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, which occurs naturally in the body and comes from food intake. Under normal conditions, uric acid is excreted through the kidneys. However, if levels become excessive, uric acid can crystallize and trigger various health issues. Therefore, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, UNIKOM Medical Center collaborated with Telkomedika to conduct free uric acid screenings as part of a routine health check program for academic staff and students. The activity was held at the UNIKOM Medical Center Clinic on UNIKOM Campus I and was attended by UNIKOM academic staff.

    dr. Teo Farel Nugroho, a physician at UNIKOM Medical Center, explained that the uric acid screening is part of a monthly health check program, with a different focus each period. “This month, we are conducting a free health check specifically for uric acid screening. Today, more than 30 lecturers have undergone uric acid screening. This screening is specifically targeted at educators as a form of institutional concern for the health of lecturers in supporting the three pillars of higher education,” he said.

    According to dr. Teo, a uric acid checkup plays an important role in disease prevention. “If uric acid levels are high and uncontrolled, it can trigger a disease known as gouty arthritis, which usually attacks the joints, especially in the big toe,” he said. By conducting regular checkups, the risk of this disease can be minimized through early control of uric acid levels.

    Furthermore, dr. Teo also shared tips for maintaining normal uric acid levels. He explained that high levels of purines in the body, which generally come from food intake, are the main cause of increased uric acid. “Foods such as offal, lungs, intestines, and brains, as well as certain types of vegetables such as spinach, and jengkol and emping, are high in purines,” he explained.

    In addition, certain diets such as intermittent fasting (IF) also have the potential to increase uric acid levels. “If you want to diet, it should be done in a balanced and not extreme manner. A controlled regular diet is more recommended than IF,” he added.

    Through this uric acid screening activity, UNIKOM is committed to raising awareness among the academic community about the importance of maintaining health through preventive measures, while also strengthening campus health services through strategic collaboration between UNIKOM Medical Center and Telkomedika.

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – High cholesterol often does not cause symptoms but can have serious consequences if not detected early. Therefore, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), through the UNIKOM Medical Center, has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the improvement of the academic community’s health through a free cholesterol check-up held on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at the UNIKOM Medical Center, Room R4301 (UNIKOM–Telkomedika Clinic).

    This cholesterol check-up activity is part of UNIKOM’s commitment to supporting health promotion and prevention efforts, particularly regarding the prevention of non-communicable diseases often triggered by high cholesterol levels. The participants show high enthusiasm for this free check-up. Accompanied by professional medical staff from the UNIKOM–Telkomedika Clinic, participants not only received cholesterol level checks but also brief education on healthy lifestyles, the importance of maintaining a balanced diet, and the health risks that can arise from high cholesterol, such as heart disease and stroke.

    dr. Putri, the doctor in charge of conducting the examinations, said that this activity is a monthly program carried out as an effort to detect cholesterol-related diseases that have the potential to endanger health early on. Furthermore, dr. Putri hopes that more participants can be participate to increase the awareness of the UNIKOM academic community regarding the importance of maintaining healthy cholesterol levels through regulating food intake and a healthy lifestyle.

    Through this activity, UNIKOM strives to raise public awareness of the importance of early detection of health conditions. Regular cholesterol checkups are considered crucial as a first step in prevention so that people can take faster and more appropriate action before more serious complications arise.

    This free cholesterol health check also represents a collaboration between the education sector and healthcare services. UNIKOM hopes that similar activities can continue to be carried out sustainably as a contribution from higher education institutions in improving the quality of life and health standards of the community.

  • Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in the world. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is high cholesterol levels. The good news is that public awareness of the importance of regular cholesterol checks is increasing. Checking cholesterol levels regularly is a positive step in the prevention of heart disease and stroke. With early detection and a healthy lifestyle, we can maintain heart health and live longer. For example, UNIKOM Medical Center routinely carries out a free health examination program every month for all UNIKOM academicians, lecturers, staff, and students.

    UNIKOM Medical Center conducted a cholesterol level check on Thursday, February 5, 2025. Cholesterol examination is a blood test to measure the total amount of fat substances (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. The blood check is useful for knowing whether someone has high cholesterol levels or not. Enthusiasm for today’s cholesterol check is quite high. Individual awareness, both from educators and students, of the importance of health is also high. However, the results showed that many participants had high cholesterol levels. Therefore, the medical team will continue to educate about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

    dr. Rafika Astarina, as the doctor in charge of the program, said that “Many patients who come have high cholesterol. So we try to check regularly because we see the dangers of high cholesterol. We detect early, prevent, and also if there is indeed a high one, we try to educate, and if necessary, we give medicine,” she said. This activity aims to increase the awareness of lecturers, staff, and students of the importance of health. In addition, this activity also aims to provide education about healthy lifestyles, especially diet and regular exercise.

    Furthermore, dr. Rafika advised “Hopefully with this cholesterol check program, the academic community or UNIKOM students can further improve a healthy lifestyle because everything returns to the lifestyle of each individual. Now indeed our food cannot be avoided, but we can choose which one is good and which one is healthy. For UNIKOM’s own steps, it is very good, because it facilitates directly, so it does not only care about education but also health, especially for its employees and students,” she concluded.
    It is expected that free cholesterol examination programs such as those organized by UNIKOM Medical Center can continue to be carried out regularly. Therefore, it is increasing public awareness, especially in the UNIKOM academic community, about the importance of regular health checks. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
