Abstract

Sarcopenia is a loss of skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength and/or reduced physical performance. Sarcopenia has become a public health problem with the prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly in Indonesia being 17.6%. One of the factors that contributes to the onset of sarcopenia is body mass index. Body mass index is proven to be a suitable anthropometric parameter for screening sarcopenia conditions. This study aims to determine the description of body mass index and the incidence of sarcopenia in the elderly. This research was conducted at Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Sabai nan Aluih Sicincin. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was 61 elderly people who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria obtained from secondary data of a cross-sectional study. Data analysis is presented in the form of narration and frequency distribution tables The study sample consisted of 38 men and 23 women. The age of the elderly was mostly in the old group (36.1%). The results showed that the elderly with sarcopenia were 91.8%. The body mass index of the elderly was found to be underweight 62.3%, normal 31.1%, and overweight and obese 6.6%. This study concludes that the body mass index of the elderly is mostly underweight.
