“…It was observed that only high BMI influenced the weight loss process during hospitalization, since overweight patients were those who were twice as likely to lose weight during hospitalization. Some studies in the relevant literature 4,17 have shown the importance and the need to investigate weight loss and its relationship with in-patients 18 and mortality 4,17 . A study by Barazzoni et al , 2019 4 , investigated the impact of recent self-reported weight loss on hospital mortality, showing that self-reported weight loss could represent a relevant prognostic factor in hospitalized patients.…”

“…In that same study 17 ; it was observed that the fat free mass index played an important role in this association, since the authors reported that mortality rates were lower in patients with normal weight and with normal fat free mass index. Another study 18 that evaluated the association between admission weight, weight loss and length of stay of patients with pancreatic necrosis, pointed out that those patients had a considerable risk of malnutrition and that a BMI above 25 kg/m2 predicts greater weight loss and longer hospital stay.…”

Objective: Investigate in-patients weight loss during hospital stay. Methods: In a retrospective study carried out with 170 in-patients, weight loss during hospitalization and its relationship with the type of disease, diet therapy, subjective global assessment (SGA), nutritional risk screening (NRS), anthropometry and hospitalization time (HT) were investigated. The Chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney and the univariate and multiple Cox regression analysis were used. Results: During hospitalization 41.18% patients experienced weight loss. Patients who were overweight experienced a higher rate of weight loss while in the ward (45.7% of patients; p=0.0179). Patients who were overweight, were twice as likely to lose weight during hospitalization, when compared with those who were already underweight (p= 0.0339; HR = 2.312; CI % = 1.066; 5.018). The age, gender, disease, diet prescribed during hospitalization, SGA, NRS, anthropometry and fasting time were not considered risk factors associated with weight loss. Conclusion: There was no influence of the dietary therapy type on weight loss. Only those patients who were overweight according to BMI were more associated to lose weight during hospitalization.
