Abstract :
The present study was undertaken to assess the dietary intake of macro and micro nutrient intake among elderly women aged 60–70 years residing in slums of North West Delhi. A total of 49 elderly women were enrolled in the study. Dietary information was collected using 24 hour dietary recall method and food frequency questionnaire. Mean intake of nutrients was calculated using Dietsoft software and was compared with the Recommended Dietary Allowance of Indian Council of Medical Research. Dietary data was analysed using central 90% values. Nutrient intake of elderly women residing in urban slums indicated gross inadequacy in folate, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin A, riboflavin, carotenes and minerals like zinc, magnesium and iron.
