    El comer social o comensalidad es una actividad que trasciende a la dietética y nutrición en todas las etapas de la vida, permitiendo a personas mayores fortalecer vínculos sociales, transmitir saberes alimentarios y aportar bienestar biopsicosocial. Con el fin de otorgar un punto de vista analítico de la comensalidad y su acontecer en el futuro de personas mayores, se presenta una visión general del tema desde un enfoque sociosanitario, comenzando con una conceptualización del rol e importancia de la comensalidad, reflexionando sobre la realidad del comer juntos en la actualidad y profundizando, entre otros aspectos, en la influencia que las tecnologías o la globalización conlleva al por-venir del comer en compañía. Se concluye que el futuro de la comensalidad para personas mayores está en sintonía con otras etapas del curso vital, y que esta acción, puede ser visualizada para la atención sanitaria clínica o comunitaria.

    Social eating or communal dining is an activity that transcends dietary and nutritional concerns throughout all stages of life, enabling older adults to strengthen social bonds, transmit food-related knowledge, and contribute to overall biopsychosocial well-being. In order to provide an analytical point of view on commensality and its future for older people, an overview of the subject is presented from a socio-health approach, beginning with a conceptualisation of the role and importance of commensality, reflecting on the reality of eating together today and looking in depth, among other aspects, at the influence that technologies and globalisation will have on the future of eating together. It is concluded that the future of eating together for the elderly is in line with other stages of the life course, and that this action can be visualised for clinical or community health care.
