title: Nutritional assessment of community-living well elderly.
abstract: Nutritional assessment parameters were studied in a sample of 132 community-living well elderly. Results are presented for biochemical parameters of serum albumin, hemoglobin, and total lymphocyte count and anthropometric parameters of height, weight, mid-arm circumference, and triceps skinfold. The data show that, although there are some differences between age groups (young-old and old-old), all values remain well within normal limits established for younger individuals.
