Abstract

Introduction: Early identification of the nutritional status of cancer patients ensures adequate nutritional treatment and better prognoses. Objective: To evaluate the association between phase angle (FA), nutritional risk assessed using the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) and indicators of nutritional status in cancer inpatients. Method: Cross-sectional, prospective study, carried out with cancer inpatients at the “Complexo Hospitalar de Vitória da Conquista”, in Bahia. AF was assessed using bioelectrical impedance, with values < 5º for men and < 4.6º for women being considered low. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC) and percentage of adequacy of arm circumference (%AC). Nutritional risk was assessed using the NRS-2002 tool. For statistical analysis of the data, the chi-square test and multiple binary logistic regression were used. Results: The sample consisted of 135 patients. The most common tumor sites were intestine (16.3%), breast (16.3%) and brain (12.59%). A large part of the sample presented nutritional risk (59.3%), while 41.67% of men and 28.57% of women presented low PA. All anthropometric parameters were associated with PA in univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, only %AC and nutritional risk were independently associated with PA. Conclusion: PA is associated with nutritional risk and %AC in cancer inpatients.
