    Nutritional control to ensure adequate nutrient intake should be part of the nutritional care process at any age, with fiber intake being particularly important in older adults, especially in relation to constipation and digestive problems. A survey was conducted on 70 elderly individuals attending the Magdalena del Mar Health Center in Lima, Peru, in 2021. The survey included a validated 24-hour recall and information about their nutritional status. The average age of the elderly participants was 72.1 + 7 years, with an average weight of 66.8 + 13.6 kg, height 1.59 + 0.1 m, and BMI 26.3 + 4.4, with 44.3% being overweight. The Basal Energy Requirement and Total Energy Requirement were 1252.7 + 156.4 and 1377.9 + 171.9, respectively. The average fiber intake was 11.4 + 5.1 g/day, while the recommended intake was 13.7 + 1.7 g/day, achieving 83.9 + 39.5% of the required fiber intake. Regarding fiber consumption, only 27.1% of participants met the daily recommended intake. The quality of fiber showed differences between soluble and insoluble fiber based on sex. Among fiber-rich foods, only 31.4% consumed oats daily, 8.6% consumed legumes three times a week, 64.3% consumed fruits daily, and 2.9% drank fruit juices daily.
