The results showed that more than half (73%) of the elderly had arthritis, more than half (74.4%) of the elderly had poor diet and less than half (44.3%) of the elderly were obese. The results of the chi square test showed a relationship between diet and obesity with the risk of rheumatic events in the elderly at the Lawe Sigala Gala Kutacane Health Center with a p-value ≤ 0.0.
