Data gathering tools that used in this study were: 1- questionnaire of nutritional knowledge related to food pyramid and 2- questionnaire of stages of fruit and vegetable consumption. After implementing pre-test, participants based on stages of change, divided into 5 groups, and educational intervention performed by group discussion and lecture methods; using pamphlet and poster for diverse groups in healthy center (two sessions for pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation and one session for action and maintenance).

Fruit and vegetable consumption in compared before intervention had significant difference and was pushed to motivational (preparation) and more active (action) stages.Conclusion: based on finding of this study, educational program based on the STAGES OF CHANGE MODEL, had positive effect on nutritional knowledge and the stages of fruit and vegetable consumption.Since the health of elderly is healthy priority of community, Design and implementation of such interventions to improve nutritional behaviors, seems to be essential for this group.
