However, most studies report from economically advanced countries. We therefore assessed the nutritional status and diet among HD patients attending a public university hospital in a sub-Saharan African country.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We performed nutritional assessments in HD patients attending the largest dialysis centre, in the country, collecting demographic and clinical data, dietary intake, along with anthropometric and bioimpedance body composition measurements in May 2022. Malnutrition was classified according to subjective global assessment score (SGA). Additional assessments of protein energy wasting (PEW), clinical frailty, and sarcopenia were made.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All 97 HD patients were recruited, mean age 44.7\u2009\u00b1\u200912.2 years, with 55 (56.7%) males.
