Only 57.7% of elderly with chronic diseases had examinations at least once every 6 months. This research is an effort to study the morbidity profile in a group of elderly patients which can be used as basic data to help plan health services.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional multicenter observational study with purposive sampling was conducted at three hospitals in Bandar Lampung with research subjects are elderly people with chronic diseases who were undergoing outpatient treatment and met the inclusion criteria, namely age ≥ 60 years, had complete medical records, have filled out informed consent, and can communicate verbally using Indonesian. Data analysis will be carried out descriptively by illustrating the data that has been collected using numbers and percentages.

Result: The majority of elderly patients are pre-elderly 60,21%, male 52,25%, not working 77,85%, primary/junior high school education 56,06%, married 96,19%, BPJS insurance 69,20% and low income 58.48%. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) 33,00%, diabetes mellitus 14,30%, hypertension 12,58%, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) 7,48% and stroke 5.78% were the most common chronic diseases in this study. Elderly patients predominantly have 73,70% comorbidities and are within the normal BMI range of 60,21%.

Conclusion: High morbidity in elderly patients requires treatment efforts to minimize it and prevent mortality. Efforts need to be made to suppress risk factors for chronic disease in the elderly.
