Factors influencing the development of sarcopenia include low levels of physical activity and high body fat percentage. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity and body fat percentage with probable sarcopenia indicators among older adults in the working area of Sungai Selan Health Center. This research employed a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling of participants aged over 50 years. Data were collected using the SARC-F questionnaire to assess sarcopenia, the IPAQ Short Form to measure physical activity, and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine body fat percentage.
