As the life expectancy of the elderly increases, the number of health problems
experienced by the elderly increases. PHBS is a form of daily behavior that is very
important to carry out because it supports the creation of a better quality of life (Putri,
2019). PHBS is a social engineering that aims to make as many members of society as
