Oxidative stress contributed in aging process and several degenerative diseases. Selenium was an important trace element due to as a component of antioxidants enzymes (selenoproteins), including glutathione peroxidase for protection against free radical. Objective: We aimed to study the correlation between blood selenium level and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity in elderly. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study was held in 5 elderly communities in south Jakarta. Body mass index, blood selenium level and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity were measured in 95 elderly aged between 60-86 years old. Nonparametric correlation was used for correlation analysis. Results and Discussion: The median of subject’s age was 69 years old (60-86) and for body mass index was 23.57 (13.59-36.05). The median of selenium level among subject was 0.19 (0.023-0.56). The mean of plasma glutathione peroxidase activity was 164.45 U/L ± 68.07. There was no correlation among variables. However, plasma glutathione peroxidase activity decreased with increasing age and body mass index although it was not significant. Conclusion: There was no correlation between blood selenium level and plasma glutathione peroxidase activity. Detection of plasma selenium level is needed to confirm this result.
