Nutritional assessment is a complex and systematic process composed of anthropometric indicators of lean and fat mass, responsible for describing the body composition and nutritional status of the elderly. In addition, the nutritional diagnosis can be obtained by screening instruments and nutri tional indicators, such as mini nutritional assessment short form and body mass index. Objectives: Analyze the cardiovascular risk, anthropometric indicators and the mini nutritional assessment short form in the elderly phase and compare the results with the body mass index. Methods: Its a descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out from August to November 2017, based on the application of a sociodemographic questionnaire, anthropometric evaluation, body mass index and mini nutritional assessment short form. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Student‘s T and Chi-square tests were used to evaluate the normality of the sample and the associations, considering a margin of error of 5.0% (p Results: Sixty-five elderly individuals with mean and standard deviation of 67 ± 5.79 years were evaluated, with a majority of females (73.8%). It was observed a positive association between the anthropometric indicators and mini nutritional assessment short form with the body mass index. In addition, the prevalence of excess weight, according to Body Mass Index, was 53.1%, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases increased according to the Waist Circumference of 87.6%. Based on the adequacy percentage of Arm Circumference, Tricipital Cut Fold, and mini nutritional assessment short form score; there was a considerable prevalence of malnutrition, being 24.6%, 38.4% and 41.3%, respectively. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the prevalence of overweight with the simultaneous presence of malnutrition and increased cardiovascular risk, as well as associations between the anthropometric indicators.
