In the comparison of the nutritional state of aged independent institutionalized and not institutionalized in the community of Erechim, RS, evaluated 60 aged of both sexos, being institutionalized 50%.

The data had been analyzed by statistical methods with the use of the applicatory SPSS, version 11. In the comparison of the results between the two groups test “t” of student was applied; in the ratio difference the value of the coefficient of linear correlation was used. For significant differences considered the values of p £ 0,05. Of the 30 aged institutionalized, it had 15 (50%) women with average of age of 73,1 years and the 15 (50%) men with average of age of 70,5 years. Of the 30 aged ones not institutionalized, the average of age of the 26 (86. 66%) women was of 73,3 years and 65,2 years between the 4 (13. 34%) men.
