The aim of the study was to evaluate nutrition and total energy expenditure of aged women living in the nursing home. Twenty two women over 60 years of age participated in the study. Their nutritional habits were evaluated based on a seven-day menu. Total energy expenditure and physical activity were assessed using SenseWear Pro3 Armband.
