Phase angle (PhA) is an objective parameter for assessing nutritional status. As PhA is an indicator of physical function and cellular health, it is hypothesized to correlate with Quality of Life (QoL). This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the PhA and the nutritional status and QoL in patients receiving HD treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross-sectional study was conducted with 98 patients. Nutritional Risk Score-2002 (NRS-2002) and Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) scales were used to assess the nutritional status of the patients. Physical activity level and QoL were determined by the Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form-36 (KDQOL\n                      <jats:sup>TM<\/jats:sup>\n                      -36), respectively.

As a result of the ROC analysis performed using the NRS-2002, the PhA cutoff point was calculated as 4.85\u02da. It was observed that patients with a PhA less than 4.85\u02da had higher MIS and NRS-2002 scores than patients with a PhA greater than this value.
