Background: Uric acid is a metabolic byproduct of purine breakdown in the body, playing a role in cell growth regulation and energy provision. Under normal conditions, uric acid is excreted through urine; however, excessive accumulation may occur. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues, resulting in pain, inflammation, and swelling. Unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with increased uric acid levels in the blood. Objective: This community service program aimed to assess the profile of uric acid levels and dietary knowledge among members of the Aisyiyah community in Kebasen. Method: This community-based program involved 30 respondents and employed a descriptive-analytic design. Result: The majority of respondents were aged 61–74 years (12 respondents; 40%). In terms of educational level, 15 respondents (50%) had attained higher education. Elevated uric acid levels (≥6 mg/dL) were observed in 15 respondents (50%). Following the educational intervention, 24 respondents (80%) demonstrated a good level of knowledge. Conclusion: Participants’ knowledge regarding blood uric acid levels improved after the educational intervention. A proportion of participants had uric acid levels above the normal range, although the majority demonstrated good knowledge levels.
