This leads to increased susceptibility to one of the metabolic diseases, osteoporosis. One of the risk factors for osteoporosis is nutritional status which can be assessed through bmi and waist circumference. This study determines the relationship between waist circumference and the incidence of osteoporosis in elderly women.

Data were collected by interview using the FRAX® tool questionnaire for osteoporosis and measuring waist circumference with a measuring tape. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical test with a significance value of p<0.05. RESULTS The most age group experiencing osteoporosis is at the age of 71-90 years as many as 15 respondents 78.9%. There was a significant relationship between age and osteoporosis in elderly women (p-value = 0.028). Respondents who had osteoporosis with a waist circumference of <80 cm had (64.7%) more than those with a waist circumference of >80 cm.
