Abstract
Vitamin D levels in the body are decreased in tropical countries. This may be due to a decrease in physical activity, age and obesity to be a risk factor for decreased vitamin D levels. This study aims to determine differences in the level of physical activity in geriatrics obesity and non-obesity to vitamin D. This research method is observational with case-control study design. The study was conducted at Public Health Center Taman, Sidoarjo district, East Java in March–July 2017. Geriatric were grouped into 2 groups of obese and non-obese by using body mass index (BMI) calculations. Respondents were given a questionnaire to assess the level of physical activity and vitamin D status. Furthermore, an assessment of physical activity and vitamin D status were performed on each respondent. The first questionnaire was given to 30 people for the validity test (r>0.361) and reliability test (Cronbach alpha=0.731). The results showed no significant differences in physical activity levels between the two groups (chi-square, p=0.883). The assessment of vitamin D status can be seen as a significant difference (chi-square, p=o.o42). In conclusion, geriatrics with obesity and non-obesity had similar levels of physical activity, but vitamin D status in obesity tended to be lower than non-obese.
