Background: The aging process is recognizable through bodily functions dicreases caused by molecular and cellular damage. Elderly is the most affected population by this aging process, such as the majority of professors in Universitas Padjadjaran. In elderly, that tissue oxigenation is trend to decrease due to reduction of both hemoglobin level and oxygen saturation. Aim: This study aimed to find out correlation between hemoglobin level and oxygen saturation in the elderly professors of Universitas Padjadjaran. Method: This study analyzed secondary data from health check-up result of the professors. 108 data of the professors met the inclusion criteria and were used in this study. This data underwent the normality test ( Male = 84 subjects, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Female = 24 subjects, using Shapiro-Wilk test.). Spearman’s Rank correlation test was used for total subjects and male professors group, while Pearson correlation test was used for female professors group. Results: Correlation test between hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation resulted in an insignificant result in male professors (r = 0.028 ; p = 0.801; z = 0.200 ; 0.00 ), female professors (r = 0.132; p = 0.538; z = 0.582; 0.272), and also in total subjects (r = 0.036; p = 0.712; z = 0.200; 0.00 ). Conclusion: There is no correlation between hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation in the elderly professors of Universitas Padjadjaran.

The aging process is recognized by the decreases of the body functions which is caused by molecular and cellular damages. The population which is mostly affected by this aging process is elderly. In elderly, it is most likely that tissue oxigenation decreases due to the reduction of haemoglobin level and oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the hemoglobin concentration and SpO 2 in the elderly professors in Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), Bandung. This was cross sectional study using secondary data from medical records of the elderly professors. One hundred and eight data of the professors (84 males and 24 females) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were used in this study. Spearman's Rank correlation test was used to analyze the data of total subjects and male professors group, while Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data of female professors group. Correlation test between hemoglobin concentration and SpO 2 resulted in an insignificant results in male professors (r = 0.028; p = 0.801), female professors (r = 0.132; p = 0.538), and total subjects (r = 0.036; p = 0.712). In conclusion, there is no correlation between hemoglobin concentration and SpO 2 in the elderly professors of UNPAD, Bandung. ABSTRAKProses penuaan ditandai dengan penurunan fungsi tubuh yang disebabkab kerusakan molekular dan selular. Usia lanjut merupakan populasi yang banyak terpengaruh oleh proses penuaan. Pada usia lanjut, proses penuaan disebabkan oleh berkurangnya oksigen dalam jaringan karena menurunnya kadar hemoglobin dan saturasi oksigen (SpO 2 ). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji korelasi antara konsentrasi hemoglobin dan SpO 2 pada profesor senior Universitas Padjajaran (UNPAD), Bandung. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang menggunakan data sekunder dari hasil pemeriksaan kesehatan professor tersebut. Sebanyak 108 data kesehatan profesor (84 laki-laki, 24 perempuan) memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi digunakan pada penelitian ini. Uji korelasi rank Spearman digunakan untuk menganallisa data dari total subjek kelompok profesor lakilaki, sedangkan uji korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk menganalisis data kelompok profesor perempuan. Pengujian korelasi antara konsentrasi hemoglobin dan SpO 2 menunjukkan hasil yang tidak signifikan pada kelompok profesor laki-laki (r = 0,028; p = 0,801),
