Objective: Our study aimed to determine the prevalence and grade of malnutrition in patients hospitalized for various indications and to examine its relationship with comorbidities and socio-demographic factors. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled children aged 1 month to 15 years old with a median age (Q25; Q75) of 1.8 (1.27–3.47) years, admitted to our hospital with various diagnoses between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019. Our study included 498 patients, 286 (57.4%) of which were male and 212 (42.6%) were female. Results: Of all patients, 40 (19.7%) with a median age of 2.25 (1.27–3.48) years had a weight z-score of less than –2SD. Of our patients, 47.2% (n=235) had malnutrition sensu the Waterlow classification. There were significant differences between the groups in socioeconomic level and C-reactive protein (CRP) content. Conclusion: Malnutrition is associated with a low socioeconomic status. It plays an important role in hospitalizations with various diagnoses.
