    There are different methods to determine nutritional diagnosis, including body composition analysis such as anthropometric indicators and bioimpedance. Objective: To describe the body composition of patients hospitalized at the National Hospital Dos de Mayo, December 2022. Methodology: Descriptive study of a basic type, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, prospective, and cross-sectional. In 78 patients hospitalized in the Medicine Service, protein and fat reserves were calculated from anthropometry and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The protein reserve, using anthropometry, showed that 35.90% of the patients had muscle depletion using Arm Circumference (AC), and the percentage increased to 41.03% when using the Arm Muscle Circumference (AMC). Using BIA, Lean Mass (LM) was classified as “Low” in 14.10%, and Muscle Mass (MMus) increased to 37.18%. For Fat Reserve, anthropometry showed that 58.97% of patients had excess Triceps Skinfold (TSF), and 48.72% had abdominal circumference (AC) indicating a risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Using BIA, 44.87% of the population was classified as “High.” Conclusion: The use of BIA is recommended within diagnostic equipment to allow a better analysis of body composition, which would contribute to improving the design of nutritional intervention plans.
