Results: Out of total subject of the study (52 people), 53.9% were depressed and 50% were malnourished. Dominant factor that affect nutritional status was moderate depression (OR=11.14). Bivariat analysis showed that there was a significant association between functional status, energy intake, and protein intake with nutritional status.
