Malnutrition was prevalent in 18 (50%) patients and the mean caloric intake was low at 15.2 kcal\/kg\/day. SGA grade C, as compared to SGA grade B, demonstrated significantly lower anthropometric values in males (BMI 18.1 \u00b1 1.6 vs 26.3 \u00b1 3.5 kg\/m2, p &lt; 0.0001; MAMC 19.4 \u00b1 1.5 vs 24.5 \u00b1 3.6 cm, p = 0.002) and females (BMI 19.4 \u00b1 2.7 vs 28.9 \u00b1 4.3, p = 0.001; MAMC 18.0 \u00b1 0.9 vs 28.1 \u00b1 3.6, p &lt; 0.0001), but not with visceral proteins. The SGA demonstrated a trend towards more malnutrition in Child-Pugh C compared to Child-Pugh B liver cirrhosis (40% grade C vs 25% grade C, p = 0.48). Alcoholic cirrhosis had a higher proportion of SGA grade C (41.7%) compared to viral (26.7%) and cryptogenic (28.6%) cirrhosis, but this was not statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Significant malnutrition in Malaysian patients with advanced cirrhosis is common.
