Linear regression test was performed to analyze the variables that associated with fiber intake. Results: Majority of 98.4% of elderly have total fiber intake <80% of Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) with average intake of 6.6 g/d.  Lower fiber intake was significantly found in females, widowed/separated, have lower education and income, and have inadequate energy intake.  Factors associated with total fiber intake were income (adjusted β=0.20, p=0.01) and energy intake adequacy (adjusted β=0.65 p=0.00).
