El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la relación entre estado nutricional y la masa muscular en adultos mayores. El estudio de tipo deductivo, transversal, no experimental.
Se analizaron 61 participantes que asistieron a la Unidad Docente Asistencial de la Universidad de Guayaquil; se determinó el estado nutricional mediante Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) y la masa muscular por perímetro de pantorrilla. Entre los resultados obtenidos se pudo observar que el 4,92% de los participantes presentaba malnutrición, mientras que el 27,87% presentaba un riesgo de malnutrición y el 65,57% posee un riesgo de sarcopenia elevado.
Se concluye que la mayor parte de los participantes poseía un estado nutricional normal, sin embargo, el riesgo de sarcopenia es sumamente elevado, por lo tanto, se considera necesaria la intervención nutricional.

The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between nutritional status and muscle mass in older adults. The study of deductive type, transversal, not experimental. 61 participants attended the Teaching Assistance Unit of the University of Guayaquil were analyzed; Nutritional status was determined using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and muscle mass by calf perimeter. Among the results, 4.92% of participants were shown to be malnourished, while 27.87% had a risk of malnutrition and 65.57% had a high risk of sarcopenia. It is concluded that most of the participants possessed a normal nutritional status, however, the risk of sarcopenia is extremely high, therefore nutritional intervention is considered necessary.
