The study evaluated the dietary and socioeconomic nutritional status of the elderly in the city of Viçosa, Ceará. A cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative research was carried out between June and December 2016 applying a socioeconomic and cultural questionnaire and a 24-hour recall. Inadequate food habits were observed in the elders with substitution of main meals for sugary and fatty snacks. Thus, there is a continuing need to apply and monitor food and nutritional education in the elderly.
