Pengaruh Modifikasi Hatha Yoga Terhadap Kadar Asam Urat Pada Lansia Di Komunitas Werdha Bungan Sandat

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of modified Hatha Yoga on reducing uric acid levels in elderly individuals at the Werdha Bungan Sandat Community, Desa Adat Kuta. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 20 elderly participants were selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention consisted of modified Hatha Yoga adapted to the physical condition of the elderly. Uric acid levels were measured before and after the intervention. The results showed a decrease in uric acid levels after the intervention, with a significant Wilcoxon test result (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that modified Hatha Yoga is effective in reducing uric acid levels in the elderly and can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy alternative.
