Rationale: Impedance is a non-invasive technique useful in nutritional assessment in patients with nervous anorexia (NA) that allows the estimation of body cell mass (BCM), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMMI), angle phase (PA), among others parameters that can help to evaluate of the evolution of the patient in nutritional education.

Methods: Body composition(BC) was evaluated with bioelectrical impedance in a group of patients diagnosed with NA who received nutritional education with lifestyle modifications as part of their treatment, between July 2018 and January 2020 (28.5±22.94 months). The objective is to evaluate pre-covid the relationship between evolution of BC parameters (BCM, PA, FM-FatMass, FFM-FreeFastMass, ASSMM-AppendicularSkeletalMuscleMass, SPA-StandarPhaseAngle, Na/K, Nutrition) and the forecast of the disease in patients with AN. Significance was set at two-sided p<0.05. All calculations were performed using SPSSv.25.0 software.

Results:

Conclusion: These results show that nutritional education in patients with NA is useful for improving the parameters of morphofunctional, as well as nutritional status.
