description Objective: To describe the body and anthropometric composition of the elderly assisted in the Nutrition Clinic of the Reference Healthcare Center for the Elderly, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niteroi city, Brazil. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study with 52 subjects aged 60 years or older treated at the nutrition clinic. Anthropometric measurements were performed according to the guidelines of the International Society for the Advancement of Kineanthropometry considering the following variables: body weight, height, biceps, triceps, subscapular, supra-iliac skinfold thicknesses, body fat percentage based on the sum of the four skinfolds, waist circumference and arm circumference.

Results: There was prevalence of overweight (43.5% of the sample), adequacy of the arm circumference, arm muscle circumference and triceps skinfold. Most women (67.6%) had high risk for cardiovascular disease according to waist circumference. There was high percentage of body fat in both sexes (89.2% and 66.7% in female and male, respectively). Conclusion: We observed the presence of inadequacies of the nutritional status of the population under study according to anthropometric parameters - body mass index, waist circumference, and percent of body fat based on the skinfold sum.
