BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is a common condition found in the elderly. The association between body compositions with the lipid profiles in the elderly as cardiovascular risk factors was still unclear.AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the association appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) and central obesity parameters with lipid profile in older women.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from January 2019 to February 2020. We collected patients’ medical records and analyzed the correlation between ASMM and central obesity parameters including truncal fat mass (TrFM) with lipid profile.RESULTS: A total of 61 subjects were included in the inclusion criteria in this study. The mean of body mass index (BMI) was 25.8 ± 4.5 with a normal BMI percentage of 44.2% and obesity of 16.4%. The mean of abdominal and calf circumference was 89 ±10 cm and 35 ± 4 cm, respectively. The mean of ASMM was 8.27 ± 1.29 kg/m2 and TrFM was 10.98 ± 3.92 kg/m2. We found a negative correlation between ASMM and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (r = –0.297, p = 0.01). TrFM was correlated with triglycerides (TG) (r = 0.339, p = 0.004). There was no significant relationship between calf circumference and abdominal circumference to lipid profile parameters.CONCLUSION: ASMM is negatively correlated with HDL, meanwhile, TrFM had a positive correlation with TG in older women as alertness of cardiovascular risk.
