Basic Health Research in 2013 there was an increase on the number of cervical cancer cases in
Indonesia as many as 98,692 sufferers and there were 19,734 sufferers in Central Java. Giving
information (health education) about how to live a healthy life may help women to prevent
cervical cancer. This can be done through health education to improve their knowledge about
healthy living behaviors.
Objective: To describe the knowledge and attitudes of women in their childbearing age about

knowledge of participants about how to live healthily was increasing up to 90% (good
