The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of relating factors on the nutrient intakes in elderly people aged over 85 years residing Namhae Kyungnam. The subject of this study was composed of 24 males and 76 females, the average age being 88.9±4.0 years old. The consumption of energy and most other nutrients was higher in females than males. There were significant positive correlations the education level, pocket money, self-perception of health and happiness, frequency and regularity of meal with nutrient intakes in elderly males and females.
