In diabetes mellitus, a macromolecular metabolic illness, the bodys capacity to regulate blood glucose levels is compromised due to an imbalance between the production and response of endocrine hormones. Diabetic adults make up 537 million people globally, spanning the ages of 20 to 79. This research aims to better understand how to keep the elderly in the Suak Ribee Health Centers service area in West Aceh Regency from developing diabetes mellitus. Analytical survey research using a cross-sectional methodology is what this study is all about. A total of forty-eight participants were surveyed throughout the study period (March–April 2023). There was no significant link between knowledge and prevention of diabetes mellitus (p-value = 1.000) and attitude toward having a significant relationship (p = 0.003 < 0.05) according to the findings of the bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. Finding no statistically significant correlation between knowledge and diabetes mellitus prevention, this research draws no conclusions. At the same time, there is a strong correlation between attitude and avoiding diabetes mellitus.

The study found no significant correlation between knowledge and the prevention of diabetes mellitus in the elderly within the Suak Ribee Health Centers working area.Conversely, a strong correlation was observed between attitude and diabetes mellitus prevention in the same population.Therefore, promoting a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking is crucial for preventing diabetes mellitus.

Further research should investigate the role of social support networks in influencing diabetes prevention behaviors among the elderly, as strong social connections can provide motivation and resources for adopting healthier lifestyles. Additionally, studies could explore the effectiveness of culturally tailored health education programs designed to address specific beliefs and practices related to diabetes in the local community. Finally, future research should examine the impact of access to healthcare facilities and resources on diabetes prevention efforts, considering factors such as distance, affordability, and availability of specialized care, to identify potential barriers and develop targeted interventions to improve health outcomes for the elderly population in West Aceh Regency.
