Introduction: Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome characterized by a reduction in muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance that may in turn, affect quality of life (QoL) of the elderly. This study aimed to determine the impact of sarcopenia on QoL among elderly residing in the community. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruit- ed 201 elderlies (mean age: 68.45 ± 6.30 years). Sarcopenia status was identified using the SARC-F questionnaire that evaluated four aspects (strength, walking assistance, chair rise, stairs climbing, and falls) with 0-2 points for each component. Predictive of sarcopenia or probable sarcopenia (PS) was scored equal to or greater than four and a score that is less than four was categorized as no sarcopenia (NS). The data for QoL were collected using the EQ5D health questionnaire that included five aspects, namely, mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. For comparisons of variables, the independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed for continuous and ordinal variables, respectively. Results: The analysis revealed that 20.4% (n=40) of the participants were categorized as PS. The majority of the participants with PS were older, women, with over normal value of body mass index (BMI), and have a history of falls. Values in all aspects of QoL were significantly lower (p<0.05) in older persons with PS. Conclusions: The findings of this study propose that sarcopenia is prevalent among the communi- ty-dwelling elderly and their QoL may be impacted by the presence of sarcopenia.
