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.

Abstract

Sarcopenia and falls are major geriatric syndromes that significantly impact functional independence, mobility, and overall health status among older adults. As the aging population continues to increase, understanding the physiological, functional, and environmental links between muscle deterioration and fall vulnerability becomes essential for effective community-based health management. This study aimed to analyze the association between sarcopenia risk and fall risk among community-dwelling older adults in the Wanasari Cibitung area of Bekasi, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 305 older adults aged 60 years and above selected using consecutive sampling. Sarcopenia risk was assessed using the SARC-CalF tool, which combines the SARC-F questionnaire with calf circumference measurement, while fall risk was evaluated using the P3G assessment consisting of 11 fall-related domains. Sociodemographic data, chronic disease profiles, and physical function indicators were collected through structured interviews and standardized measurements performed by trained enumerators. Data analysis included descriptive statistics to determine prevalence and Spearman’s rank correlation to examine the relationship between sarcopenia and fall risk due to non-normal data distribution. Findings revealed that 44.9% of respondents were categorized as high risk for sarcopenia, and 55.4% were classified as high risk for falling. The mean SARC-CalF score was 6.70 ± 6.15, and the mean P3G score was 5.60 ± 4.84, indicating substantial muscle function decline and fall susceptibility within the population. A strong positive correlation was identified between sarcopenia and fall risk (r = 0.612; p < 0.001; 95% CI; 0.53-0.68) ), demonstrating that higher sarcopenia severity is associated with greater fall vulnerability. These results highlight the urgent need to integrate sarcopenia screening and fall-prevention strategies within routine primary healthcare services for older adults

Abstract

Urban adolescents tend to increase fast-food consumption and engage in unbalanced physical activity, which may contribute to abnormal Body Mass Index (BMI) and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to analyse the relationships among diabetes mellitus knowledge, fast-food dietary patterns, and physical activity with BMI among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 290 urban adolescents from public senior high schools in Bekasi City, Indonesia, in December 2025, using stratified cluster sampling. DM knowledge was measured using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire-24 (DKQ-24), fast-food intake using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). BMI was calculated from weight and height measurements. Data were analysed using Chi-Square and binary logistic regression tests with a significance level of α = 0.05. Fast-food dietary pattern (χ2 = 11.237; p = 0.010) and physical activity (χ2 = 17.584; p = 0.001) were significantly related to BMI; DM knowledge was not (χ2 = 1.838; p = 0.934). Fast-food dietary pattern was the dominant clinical factor for abnormal BMI (OR = 2.447; 95% CI 0.852–7.032; p = 0.098). Although fast-food dietary patterns showed a higher odds ratio for abnormal BMI, the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.098); however, the finding may still indicate a potential clinical trend that warrants attention. Physical activity was significantly associated with adolescent BMI. Nurses and health professionals should develop school-based nutrition education to reduce fast-food consumption and prevent early type 2 DM.

Abstract

Background: Digital transformation in healthcare, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has created significant opportunities to enhance emergency medical services. However, the clinical effectiveness and public health impact of AI in emergency contexts require comprehensive evidence synthesis. Methods: This systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were performed across six databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, CINAHL, Google Scholar) for publications from 2015 to 2025. Nine empirical studies met the inclusion criteria after rigorous selection. Results: AI demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (85–96%) for acute conditions such as intracranial hemorrhage and sepsis. AI implementation reduced sepsis mortality by 17% in facilities with high digital maturity. However, medical chatbots showed low accuracy (58%) and potential for harmful recommendations. Ethical issues, algorithmic bias, and infrastructure readiness emerged as major challenges. Conclusion: AI has the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of emergency services, but its success depends on infrastructure readiness, ethical governance, and targeted implementation strategies.

Abstract

Background: Depression is a common mood disorder among the elderly, particularly those living in social care institutions. Factors such as social isolation, loss of family support, and chronic health conditions contribute to increased vulnerability. Understanding the level and characteristics of depression in this population is essential for developing targeted interventions. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the level of depression and its demographic characteristics among elderly residents at Tresna Werdha Budi Mulia 1 Social Care Institution. Methods: A quantitative descriptive design was used with 162 elderly residents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) and a demographic questionnaire. Univariate analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: The majority of respondents were female (59.3%), aged 60–74 years (66.7%), widowed (66.0%), and had a high school education (65.4%). Mild depression was the most prevalent (43.8%), followed by moderate depression (35.2%). A small proportion experienced severe depression (7.4%). Hypertension was the most common health complaint (45.7%). Conclusion: Mild depression is prevalent among institutionalized elderly. Factors such as gender, marital status, length of stay, and health conditions may influence depression levels. These findings highlight the need for mental health screening and psychosocial support programs in elderly care institutions.
