Residence A had an average BMI of 27.6, indicating class I overweight, while Residence B showed an average BMI of 21.3, classifying it within the normal weight range. Thirty-two percent of the men in Residence A were overweight, whereas energy deficiencies were detected in Residence B. Although Residence A had a higher consumption of dairy and fruits, Residence B excelled in legumes. Both groups did not meet the recommended intake for macronutrients, although Residence A was closer to the recommendations for proteins and lipids. Additionally, Residence A exceeded the recommendations for calcium, phosphorus, and zinc, while Residence B excelled in iron. These findings suggest the need for personalized nutrition programs to improve the health and well-being of the residents.DietEnergy DeficiencyNutritional StatusOlder Adultsjournal-article
