| description | The assessment of nutritional status is essential in the follow-up of hospitalized patients, since it aims to check fornutritional changes, allowing an adequate intervention for recovery and / or maintenance of individuals’ health. This study is aimed at evaluating the nutritional status of hospitalized patients using adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT), handgrip strength (HGS), body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC) and arm circumference (AC). It is a cross-sectional study, in which 88 patients of both sexes were evaluated. The results indicate that changes in body composition, physical inactivity, increased inflammatory status, edemas and malnutrition may often be related to differences in nutritional status, as verified from the different parameters observed, with normal weightbeing more prevalent in all methods, except in the APMT and HGS methods,mainly for the elderly, where the risk of depletion was predominant. It is suggested that both APMT and HGS may be indicators fordetection ofcomplications attributed to risks of depletions for both the adult and the elderly populations.
