<![CDATA[Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health problems in the elderly, the risk of which increases not only due to the aging process but also due to the accumulation of metabolic risk factors. The scientific contribution of this study lies in providing a community-based profile of the clustering of multiple modifiable clinical risk factors within individual elderly participants. The study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach in 142 elderly people aged ≥65 years selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained through demographic questionnaires, Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ), and International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ), as well as measurements of blood pressure, random blood glucose, uric acid levels, and body mass index. The analysis was descriptive. The results showed that most elderly people had a high-risk profile, with 41.5% having three risk factors and only 3.5% having none. The dominant risk factors included hypertension, abnormal blood glucose levels, hyperuricemia, and excessive nutritional status. These findings confirm that modifiable clinical factors mainly influence the risk of CKD in the elderly. Therefore, routine screening and risk factor management are important strategies in the prevention of CKD in the elderly population.]]>
