Allied to this reality, is a series of nutritional disorders in this population segment. An important factor related to quality of life and healthy aging is good nutrition throughout life. Objective: To observe the possible relationship between the nutritional status and the body composition of the longevity. Methodology: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study, with elderly individuals aged 90 years or older. The instruments used were the Mini Nutritional Assessment to evaluate nutritional status, Anthropometry to evaluate weight, height and BMI, and bioimpedance to evaluate body composition. Results: The sample consisted of 72 elderly individuals, with a mean age of 93.7 years, most female(72%), white (82%) and widowed (64%). Of the total longevity, 19.4% were classified with nutritional risk based on the Mini Nutritional Assessment. All anthropometric parameters presented lower averages among participants with nutritional risk. Regarding the bioimpedance parameters, in general the risk-free individuals presented higher averages of weight, maximum ideal weight, minimum ideal weight, BMI, lean mass, fat mass, percentage of fat mass and minimum percentage of fat mass. Conclusions: It was observed that most of the longevity were classified without nutritional risk based on MAN. The importance of not only nutritional assessment and diet quality in the multiprofessional care of the longevity, but also the presence of a nutritionist was clear, since the measurement of the nutritional risk in the third age requires the joint analysis of the several existing methods for the nutritional evaluation, in order to obtain global diagnosis and accurate analysis of the nutritional status of the longevity. / Introdu??o:O Brasil vem passando por mudan?as consider?veis na distribui??o et?ria da sua popula??o, sendo os idosos respons?veis por quase 26 milh?es de habitantes. Aliada a essa realidade, encontra-se uma s?rie de desordens nutricionais nesse segmento populacional. Um importante fator relacionado ? qualidade de vida e ao envelhecimento sadio ? a boa nutri??o durante toda a vida. Objetivo:Observar a poss?velrela??o entre o estado nutricional e a composi??o corporal de longevos. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal e anal?tico, com idosos longevos de idade igual ou superior a 90 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Mini Avalia??o Nutricional (MAN) para avaliar o estado nutricional, Antropometria para avaliar o peso, altura e IMC, e a Bioimped?ncia para avaliar a composi??o corporal.Resultados:A amostra foi composta por 72 idosos longevos, com m?dia de idade de 93,7 anos, a maioria (72%) era mulher, cor branca (82%) e estado civil vi?vo (64%). Do total de longevos, 19,4% foram classificados com risco nutricional com base na Mini Avalia??o Nutricional. Todos os par?metros antropom?tricos apresentaram m?dias menores entre os participantes com risco nutricional. Em rela??o aos par?metros de bioimped?ncia, em geral os indiv?duos sem risco apresentaram maiores m?dias de peso, peso ideal m?ximo, peso ideal m?nimo, IMC, massa magra, massa gorda.Conclus?es:Observou-se que a maioria dos longevos foram classificados sem risco nutricional baseado no MAN. Ficou clara a import?ncia n?o somente da avalia??o nutricional e da qualidade da dieta na aten??o multiprofissional do longevo, mas tamb?m a presen?a de um nutricionista, poisa mensura??o do risco nutricional na terceira idade requer a an?lise conjunta dos diversos m?todos existentes para a avalia??o nutricional, a fim de obter diagn?stico global e an?lise acurada do estado nutricional do longevo.
