Abstract
The aim was to analyze the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on foodexpenditure in Costa Rican households that have at least one adult older than 65 years
old. For this study the results of the National Household Income and Expenditure
Survey 2013, of “Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos”, was used. The influence
of the income, the schooling of the head´s household, the area and the family type on
the consumption expenditure in food, as well as the relation between the area and
schooling with the income was studied. It was found that food expenditure was lower in
lower income households, that represents major percentage of income. The area and
schooling are related to income. In older adult´s households food expenditure is higher
than families with older and young people.
