We found a significant association between Ki-67 (p = 0.013) or fibulin-2 (p = 0.001) expression with histopathological grade of meningioma. High histopathological grade has high expression of Ki-67 and fibulin-2, with Odds ratio (OR) of 13.500 (1.556-117.137) and 10.028 (2,738-36,722), respectively. Fibulin-2 expression was also associated with the age of patients (p = 0.020). The low age group (<50) has high expression of fibulin-2 (OR 0.196 (0.056-0.691).  Conclusion: Ki-67 and fibulin-2 were associated with the histopathological grade of meningioma, while fibulin-2 is also associated with age in the Minangkabau ethnic group.
