Abstract

Objectives: to assess nutritional status and dietary intake of cancer patients. Methods: cancer patients inpatient treatment at the Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine 103 Military Hospital. Results: Assessment by different methods showed that malnutrition in cancer patients accounted for a high percentage: PG-SGA (91%); BMI (34.4%), Lymphocyte (27.8%), Hemoglobin (25.9%), Serum Albumin (6.1%). The average daily caloric intake of BN K (1,627.7 Kcal) was lower than the average recommended requirement (1,848.0 Kcal). The rate of passing recommended energy requirements for patients with cancer was only 25.9%. The most common dietary changes were: reduced portion sizes (75%), only liquid foods (17.9%) or very little (2.4%). The age group <60 did not get the energy of the 24h diet (OR=2.06; p<0.05) higher than the group>60, the men did not get the energy of the 24h diet (OR=2.03; p< 0.05) and did not reach the 24h dietary protein intake (OR=2.14; p<0.05) higher than women. There was no relationship between cancer stages and dietary energy (p>0.05). Conclusions: Malnutrition is common in cancer patients, low percentage of energy requirements, relationship between age and gender with dietary energy.
