Background: Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass and strength, poses significant public health challenges for the elderly, impacting physical performance quality of life. This study aims to investigate associations between glucose profile, fasting insulin, renal function, strength among elderly residents single-centered nursing home Indonesia, identifying potential biomarkers sarcopenia. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 31 Santa Anna Nursing Home, with measured using handgrip dynamometry biochemical parameters evaluated through standardized laboratory methods. Results: Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) revealed strong negative correlations profile (β = − 0.683, p < 0.01) insulin 0.208, 0.05) while function showed moderate positive relationship 0.295, 0.05). Conclusion: These findings highlight as critical predictors sarcopenia, offering pathways early detection targeted interventions. Future research should explore longitudinal assessments molecular mechanisms refine sarcopenia prevention strategies aging populations. Keywords: biomarkers,
