Abstract:	The aim of the study was to evaluate different methods of nutritional status analysis like basic anthropometric data, laboratory data and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with phase angle (PA) in patients with chronic diseases.
Description:	Patients had chronic kidney disease (93%), arterial hypertension (80%), active infection (33.3%), heart failure (23.3%), diabetes mellitus (20%), active malignancy (10%), autoimmune disease (6.6%), history of stroke (6.6%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (3.3%) and/or liver cirrhosis (3.3%). Mean serum albumin was 33.6±5.7 g/L, mean BMI 25.6±4.4 kg/m2 and mean PA 4.4±1.2º. No correlation between serum albumin and BMI was found. Lower PA was associated with lower serum albumin (p=0.045) and advanced age (p=0.043). The department nurses conducted nutritional education for all patients included in the study. Study was performed in accordance with the Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology.
