The aim of this work was assessment of nutrients con- sumption, important for prevention and treat- ment of diet-dependent diseases and potentially neuropsychological diseases, including Alzhei- mer disease. The intake of antioxidant vitamins, group B vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids in food ratios was assessed among 1001 people over 60 years of age, from Wroclaw and nearby areas, SW Poland. Selected parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were de- termined in the blood of surveyed people. A deficit intake of all nutrients was demonstrated in groups distinguished by MNA form. Moreover, it was demonstrated that statistically significant, the lowest amounts of vitamin A, E, C, B6, B12, folates, and many other polyunsaturated fatty acids were consumed by women at risk of mal- nutrition in comparison with women with an adequate nutritional status. Statistically signifi- cant lower biochemical parameters, such as TC, LDL TG and glucose were also demonstrated in the group of women at risk of malnutrition than in the group of women with an adequate nutria- tional status. Control and supervision of the eld- erly persons’ nutritional intake constitutes the basis of the assessment of risk of
