Background: The co-occurrence of frailty, sarcopenia and malnutrition has been well studied in inpatient and nursing home settings, which are associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, multicentre data from community-dwelling outpatient settings are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to find the prevalence of frailty, possible sarcopenia and malnutrition, their overlap, and the associated factors in community-dwelling older outpatients.

Method: This research aimed to develop a comprehensive geriatric telemedicine framework in Padang City by studying multiple stakeholders.
Aims: To investigate the correlation between glycaemic control with component of Physio-Cognitive Decline Syndrome (PCDS) and among each component of PCDS itself.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted (January 2021-November 2022) at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia on consecutively recruited T2DM outpatients aged 40-59 years old.
Article Synopsis
- Anemia is a prevalent blood disorder in older adults, particularly in Indonesia, where a lack of studies has left a gap in understanding its impact on muscle strength in this demographic.
- The study aims to assess anemia prevalence among Indonesian elderly citizens aged 60 and older and explore its relationship with handgrip strength using data from a large sample size from the Indonesian Family Life Survey-5 (IFLS-5).
- Findings reveal that 38.8% of analyzed individuals have anemia, with a significant increase in prevalence among those aged 80 and above, and indicates a positive correlation between lower hemoglobin levels and decreased handgrip strength.

March 2021
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected healthcare services around Asia. The Asian National Cancer Centres Alliance and the Asia-Pacific Organisation for Cancer Prevention collaborated to assess the mid- and long- term impact of COVID-19 to cancer care in Asia.
Methods: The two entities organised a combined symposium and post-meeting interactions among representatives of major cancer centres from seventeen Asian countries to outlining major challenges and countermeasures.
Introduction: Cancer and its treatment have a broad impact on patients' Quality of Life (QoL). Previous researches showed that many factors in Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) affect QoL. CGA could predict toxicity, overall survival rate and can help adjust the choice and intensity of treatment in each patient.

- The study investigates survival factors in elderly cancer patients in Indonesia, focusing on those over 60 years old, due to the increasing elderly population and cancer prevalence.
- Conducted as a retrospective cohort study with 249 patients, it analyzed various clinical factors such as age, cancer type, and treatment to determine their impact on survival.
- Results revealed that advanced cancer stage significantly affects mortality in women, while poor performance status is a key risk factor for men, highlighting the importance of these factors in prognosis.
Background: There has been no study conducted about the effect of autosuggestion on quality of life for geriatric patients. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of autosuggestion for geriatric patients' quality of life and its impact on psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune pathway.
Methods: Sixty geriatric patients aged ≥60 years in a ward were randomly assigned to either receive autosuggestion or not.
