Introduction: The long stay institution for elderly people offer many advantages to these people, but we can as well observe some problems, mainly caused by the radical change in their routine, what can lead to alterations in their habits, especially in the eating habits. Objective: To assess the nutritional status of the institutionalized elderly population in the city of Praia Grande/SP, Brazil. Methods: The sample was composed of 391 subjects: 109 men and 282 women. The nutritional assessment was performed through the Mini Nutritional Assessment. The anthropometric assessment consisted of body mass measures height, body mass index, arm circumference and calf circumference. Results: The results revealed that 49.6% of the elderly present either risk of malnutrition or malnutrition. Conclusion: The data reflects the need to build new policies concerning the care-related issues in healthy aging, including qualified assistance in long stay institutions.
