Introduction: During the hospital stay, the nutritional status of patients is compromised due to the pathology at admission and the comorbidity they present. The objective of this study was to determine nutritional status and its relationship with chronic non-communicable diseases in a hospital.
Material and methods: Observational, descriptive, relational cross-sectional study, carried out at the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in patients hospitalized in the surgery, medicine, and traumatology services. Patients of both sexes over 18 years of age, who signed an informed consent, were included. Anthropometry was performed to evaluate nutritional status, using body mass index (BMI), skinfold measurement, arm circumference, and manual dynamometry.
Results: Of the 189 patients evaluated, 49.7% were between 30 and 59 years old, 50.8% female. No relationship was found between nutritional status according to BMI and diabetes, HTN and CKD; nor between nutritional status according to skin fold and diabetes, HTN and CKD. Likewise, a relationship was found between nutritional status by arm circumference and diabetes (p=0.03); but no relationship was found with HTN and CKD. No significant difference was found in muscle strength in patients with diabetes, HTN or CKD.
Conclusion. No relationship was found between non-communicable diseases and nutritional status according to body mass index and skin fold. However, the nutritional diagnosis by arm circumference showed that diabetes was statistically significant.
