It was filled for 248 randomly selected subjects (aged 60 and older) in ISFAHAN.

Of the subjects, 65.7% had a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25. Educational level, income and BMI had a significant relation with nutrition.Logistic regression models showed high income (OR=3A CI95%=L5-7.5), high BMI (OR=7 CI95%=L6-31) and high educational level (OR=OA CI95%=023-0.77) which all were the effective factors on nutritional status, independently.Conclusion: Obtaining high percentage of malnutrition prevalence among ELDERLY, and the possibility of suitable interventions on the most effective factors, the importance of paying attention to the ELDERLY lifestyle found to be more clear.
