This study aimed to investigate oral and systemic factors related to diet in elderly residents receiving domiciliary dental care. <b>Methods:</b> The subjects were 74 consenting residents.

Contingency table analysis was performed to determine what levels of decline in general and oral functions led to difficulties eating a normal diet. <b>Results:</b> There was a significant difference in the mean number of activities of daily living (ADL) requiring assistance evident between subjects eating a normal diet and those eating fluid boiled rice (<i>p</i> < 0.01). A comparison of occlusal support and diet type showed that most subjects who ate a soft diet or gruel had no occlusal support. Almost all subjects who ate a normal diet wore dentures.
