Abstract

Obesity, characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat, increases susceptibility to chronic disease and adversely impacts overall quality of life. Elderly people often exhibit higher fat mass and lower muscle mass and bone density, influenced by reduced physical activity, hormonal changes, and metabolic adjustments. Visceral fat accumulation is of particular concern because of its association with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework to screen for obesity in the elderly using Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference measurements. Activities were held at St. Fransiskus Assisi, Jakarta involving 36 participants. The study revealed that 16 participants (44.5%) and 30 people (83.3%) were obese and centrally obese, respectively. Early detection and intervention through anthropometric measurements are very important in managing health risks related to obesity in the elderly, so as to improve their quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Sarcopenia is a common condition among the elderly. Identifying individual risk factors associated with sarcopenia is essential for developing effective prevention strategies. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between insulin-like growth factor (IGF) levels and the incidence of sarcopenia, as assessed through mid-upper arm circumference and calf circumference, among older adults residing at Panti Werdha Bina Bhakti. Anthropometric measurements were obtained using a standard measuring tape, while IGF levels were measured through venous blood sampling and analyzed in a laboratory setting. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The study found that the average age of participants was 74.34 years, with 84.1% being female. The mean mid-upper arm circumference was 23.73 cm, and the mean calf circumference was 28.58 cm. The average IGF level was 14.43. Spearman’s rho analysis revealed a significant correlation between mid-upper arm and calf circumferences (r = 0.550; p < 0.001), as well as between mid-upper arm circumference and IGF levels (r = 0.237; p = 0.032). However, no significant correlation was observed between calf circumference and IGF levels (r = 0.176; p = 0.114). In conclusion, mid-upper arm circumference was significantly correlated with both calf circumference and IGF levels, whereas calf circumference showed no significant correlation with IGF in this elderly population.
