Abstract
Elderly people are a group that is vulnerable to experiencing various problems in terms of nutrition and health caused by changes in eating patterns. Nutritional status affects the independence of an elderly person, where good nutritional status means less dependence on other people and vice versa. It is necessary to treat malnutrition or malnutrition as early as possible, one of which is by having an elderly posyandu. Posyandu for the elderly as a community service provides services and assistance in special health for the elderly, by regularly recording, controlling and reviewing the medical records of the elderly in a document. The data processing method in this research uses the Naïve Bayes method, where the data used comes from the medical records of the elderly and then used as a reference as to whether the elderly have good nutrition or are malnourished and require further action. Medical record documents play an important role in posyandu services for the elderly, so that medical record documents should be digitally based and systematic in recommending the nutritional status of the elderly. The Naïve Bayes algorithm is an algorithm that can help in classifying data in diagnosis using criteria for the condition of elderly patients. Naïve Bayes also has precise accuracy when implemented in applications that have databases with large data and makes it easier for users to interpret the results. This is proven by this research which produces an accuracy value of 91% with the data used as a sample of 110 elderly patients. The system design aims to help users as posyandu cadres in knowing whether the condition of the elderly is good, whether the elderly are at risk of malnutrition and provide treatment that is appropriate to the condition of elderly patients as well as assisting the Posbindu PTM in transforming documents into computerized ones.
