Introduction: The energy density (ED) is defined as the amount of energy (kcal) per weight of food (grams). A decrease in the consumption of foods with high ED may help to reduce the total caloric value of the diet, preventing weight gain and the onset of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Objectives: To assess the energy density of the diet and its relation to nutritional status, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and hypertension and socio-demographic variables in the elderly, as well as to analyze the prevalence of NCD and identify the nutritional status and point out which meal higher and lower energy density. Methods: Cross-sectional study with the elderly, part of a cohort of Epidoso.Foi assessed the diets of 345 elderly through the Food Recall 24 hours. The ED of diet was calculated with all solid and liquid food, excluding drinks energy value less than 5 kcal/100g. To examine the relationship between ED diet and the presence of NCD used the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test extension. Results: There was no significant variation between the DE into tertiles and NCD, nutritional status, sex, age and education. The total energy of the diet is lower in older age groups and higher for men. DE was very similar in all age groups and both sexes. The highest and lowest average DE were found in the breakfast and evening snack, respectively. Most seniors who consumed a diet with amount of lipids above the recommended carbohydrate and lower than recommended, was the last tertile of energy density. Conclusions: We found a high prevalence for NCDs and females was significantly related to low birth weight and obesity. The average found DE was 1.14 kcal/g, showing no association with the NCD, nutritional status and sociodemographic variables. Most DE meal was breakfast.
