Abstract

Sarcopenia is common in older adults and contributes to functional decline, disability, and increased healthcare utilization. In community-dwelling older adults, increased risk of sarcopenia may limit daily activities and negatively affect health-related quality of life, yet evidence from community settings in Indonesia remains limited. This study examined the association between risk of sarcopenia and health-related quality of life among community-dwelling older adults. Cross-sectional study conducted in the working area of Wanasari Public Health Center, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, February–March 2025. Community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years (n=305) were recruited by consecutive sampling. Risk of sarcopenia was measured using the SARC-CalF (SARC-F plus calf circumference) questionnaire; health-related quality of life was measured with the EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol-5 Dimension, 5-level). Validity and reliability testing of instruments in the study sample are reported in Methods. The association between sarcopenia risk (continuous SARC-CalF score) and EQ-5D index score was assessed with Spearman’s rank correlation. The result showed that Mean age 64.65±5.20 years; 61.3% female. A total of 137/305 (44.9%) were classified as at risk of sarcopenia (SARC-CalF), and 168/305 (55.1%) as low risk. Median (range) SARC-CalF = 4 (0–20). Median EQ-5D index = 0.83 (0.41–1.00). There was a strong, negative correlation between SARC-CalF score and EQ-5D index (Spearman’s rho = –0.711, p<0.001), indicating higher sarcopenia risk relates to lower quality of life. In this community sample, higher risk of sarcopenia is strongly associated with poorer health-related quality of life. We recommend routine screening for sarcopenia risk in primary care and further analytic studies to identify independent predictors in this population

Abstract

Background: Loneliness among the elderly is a critical public health concern associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. In Indonesia, rapid urbanization and shifting family structures may exacerbate this issue, yet data on its prevalence at the primary healthcare level remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of loneliness and identify key demographic correlates among community-dwelling elderly in the working area. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2024. Using consecutive sampling, 109 elderly participants aged ≥60 years were enrolled. Data were collected using the validated Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) and a structured demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions were used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that 74.3% of participants experienced mild loneliness, while 16.5% reported no loneliness, 8.3% had moderate loneliness, and 0.9% experienced severe loneliness. Significant demographic correlates included female gender (72.5%), age 60-69 years (78.9%), elementary education level (47.7%), unemployment status (69.7%), widowhood (51.4%), and low income (<IDR 1,500,000; 87.2%).Conclusion: Mild loneliness is prevalent among the elderly in this community, with distinct demographic correlates. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, community-based psychosocial interventions integrated into primary healthcare services to address loneliness among vulnerable elderly populations.
