Popis: Malnutrition is one of the most common disorders observed in patients who are being treated for various diseases. In cancer patients with a palliative profile, compared with patients without malignant neoplasms, anemia, lymphopenia, decreased glomerular filtration rate were significantly more often detected, and a tendency to lower albumin levels was revealed. There was a significant decrease in PNI, BMI, shoulder circumference, thickness of the skin‑fat fold of the scapula and shoulder, and a tendency to reduce lean body weight in patients with palliative malignancies. The logistic regression analysis revealed the relationship between the presence of a malignant tumor in palliative patients and the presence of trophic status disorders: PNI (β = –0.37, p = 0.021), weight (β = –0.41, p = 0.001), BMI (β = –0.36, p = 0.001), shoulder circumference (β =–0.65, p = 0.001), thickness of the scapular skin‑fat fold (β = –0.66, p = 0.001).
