Inadequate food intake in old age may lead to malnutrition, reduced work capacity, and poor mental and physical health. Therefore, the present study was carried out to assess the nutritional and functional abilities of the elderly and assess the interrelationship between the nutritional status and functional abilities of the elderly.
