Objectives:
to provide information and data on food and fluid intake of free-living elderly aged of 81-86 years old residing in the south of France.
Methods:

Results:
Total dietary intake was generally low as compared to the recommended daily intake for elderly subjects.
Conclusion:
This descriptive part of the SENECA study gives the opportunity to have information on this growing segment of the population. These results should help to adapt the dietary guidelines for this category of the population.
