    The objective of the present research was to determine the relationship between Arm Circumference (AC) and Hemoglobin (Hb) and Hematocrit (Hct) in elderly individuals receiving some form of assisted care, such as nutrition and basic medical attention, in nursing homes in the district of Lima Cercado during 2017. Methodologically, the study is descriptive, observational, prospective, and correlational. The study included a total of 136 elderly participants, both men and women, aged 60 years or older. The results showed that 72% of the participants had low Hct levels, and 70% had low Hb levels, with women being the most affected at 58%. Regarding AC, 40% of participants had low AC, 46% had normal AC, and 14% had high AC. In terms of gender and AC levels, low AC was directly associated with low Hct in 89% of men and 62% of women. Low AC was also associated with low Hb in 65% of women and 89% of men. Correlation analysis between hematological parameters and AC using the Chi-Square test revealed a directly proportional relationship between AC and hematological values.
