Introduction: The global population is aging, and the number of elderly people continues to increase worldwide. The increase in the elderly population is followed by an increase in problems due to degenerative processes that have an impact on the quality of life of the elderly. Several factors that affect the quality of life of the elderly include physical activity, functional abilities, and depression. Methodology: The study design was cross-sectional. Based on the quota sampling in East Jakarta, 180 elderly were selected as the sample. WHOQOL-BREF was used to measured quality of life of independent variables. GPAQ, IADL-Barthel Index, GDS were used to measure dependent variables of physical activity, functional ability and depression, respectively. The Data collection method was an interview using a questionnaire. Data analysis includes univariate and bivariate analysis using Chi-Square test and multivariate analysis using Logistic Statistics test using Enter method. Results: Most of the elderly have a good quality of life (77.2%). There was a significant corellation between physical activity, functional ability, depression and the quality of life of the elderly. The most important factor was physical activity and the P values and OR were 0.014 and OR 3.409, respectively after being controlled by the variables of functional ability and depression. Conclusion: The finding indicated physical activity was the key factor of quality of life. In order to support elderly to exercise regularly and safely, cooperation between local governments, communities, and families is needed to develop interesting exercise/leisure sport programs and provide support facilities for the elderly. Keywords— quality of life, physical activity, functional ability, depression, elderly

Introduction: Elderly people will experience physical and psychological declines, there will also be several kinds of degenerative diseases, one of which is osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee. Elderly people who suffer from knee OA generally experience muscle weakness, pain, and limited knee motion. This study aimed to analyze the effect of bridging exercise on reducing pain in elderly with knee OA. Methode: The study design was quasi experiment which consisted of the treatment and the control group. The research respondents were 34 elderlies at Eastern Jakarta Village and selected by purposive sampling. The bridging exercise intervention was given for 4 weeks, 2 times a week with a duration of 30 minutes. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test. Results: The knee pain in treatment group before intervention was 8,29 and became 6,29 after intervention, whereas in control group was 7,58 and 7,53 respectively. The average difference in knee pain changed between groups was -1,76 with a p-value of 0.009. Conclusion: Bridging exercise could reduce pain in knee OA of elderly.  The integrated development post could apply this exercise as additional exercise in their routine activity.

Being elderly is potentially risk for the emerging of progressive neurodegenerative syndrome, including cognitive impairment. Various efforts have been made to minimize the negative impact. Brain gym is an alternative intervention that is widely used. A series of motion between the legs and hands employed to stimulate the brain to remain optimal. This study aims to determine whether brain gym exercise is beneficial for cognitive improvement among elderly in Indonesia. The systematic literature review was carried out from 28 May 2020 – 05 June 2020 at Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, Garba Rujukan Digital (Garuda). Searching process employed keywords compiled using PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes) method and applied a filtering of articles using clinical trial or randomized controlled trial design, published in the last five years, and free/open access literature. There are 5 articles that meet the inclusion criteria: sample age 60 years and over, type of brain gym intervention, and focus on assessing cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian Version (MoCA-Ina. Overall, the result shows in participants (n=211) experienced a significant increase in cognitive function (p<0.05). Indeed, additional outcomes were found, namely a decrease in stress levels and an increase in physical activity function.
