Background : There is a challenge to overcome nutrition problems as the number of older adults increases, including the older adults who live in nursing home. Food service in nursing home often get less attention, such as in the portion size of meals that is served to the older adult. In PSTW Budi Luhur, portion size is served by one representation of the older adults in each group or “pramurukti”, and it is still unknown whether the portion size is served accurately. Portion size infl uenced food and energy intake in adults.Objectives : To investigate the association between portion accuracy with food intake of older adults in PSTW Budi Luhur, Bantul, Yogyakarta.Methods : Forty four older adults were recruited in the observational, cross sectional study in PSTW Budi Luhur, Bantul, Yogyakarta from May to June 2015. Portion in distribution unit, portion accuracy, and food intake were measured by food weighing and observation for 15 days at lunch. Spearman rank correlation formula were used to analyze the association between portion accuracy and food intake.Results : Most of the portion sizes of grains, meat, poultry and fi sh, beans and bean products, fruits, and vegetables were served inaccurately. Food intakes from grains, meat, poultry and fi sh, and vegetables were mainly defi cient, while intakes from beans and bean products, and fruits were largely good. There was signifi cant association between portion accuracy and food intake in all food groups (p-value<0.05) with medium strength of correlation (r=0.4-<0.6).Conclusion : There was association between food accuracy and food intake in elderly, in which larger food portion leads to higher food intake, and vice versa.
