The antioxidant capacity was 31,377 umol / day and total polyphenols of 2,344 mg / day. Conclusions: There is a high risk of malnutrition (MNA, NSI) and cardiovascular disease (ICC) among participants. The antioxidant capacity of the menu three times the reference values and the energy profile of the elderly is inadequate, with excess fat and cholesterol and low in carbohydrates
