The consequence of elderly (60 years old or above) will add more burden to government on health care program for this group. As the population grows older, the risk of disability and burden of desease in the population is increasing, therefore government should allocate more fund for health care. The objective this study is to assess association between nutritional status and anemia on elderly after controlled by age, sex, education, occupation, by multiple logistic regression test.

The result showed that based on six models, elderly group age ≥70 years old had twice risk, elderly with malnutrition had 1.3 to 1.5 times risk, while the anemic elderly had 1.3-1.6 times risk to have physical disabilities of cognitive domain, mobility domain, personal care, friendship care, daily activities as well as participation.
