Introduction: The human immunodeficiency virus has caused high morbidity and mortality all over the world. HIV/AIDS causes nutritional disorders due to related disease or antiretroviral treatment, turning out crucial to provide early nutritional assessment, which is the main goal of this study. Methods: Cross-sectional study that enrolled 213 HIV/AIDS patients and a subsample of 75 persons to compare both nutritional assessment methods (IMC and Chang´s method). They were all treated in the Infectious Diseases Unit at Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital. Anthropometric data was measured from each subject. Biochemical (albumin, and lipid profile) and immunological (total lymphocyte) data were obtained from the medical records. Results: BMI assessment results were: normal weight 53%, low weight 7%, overweight 32%, obesity 8%; whereas, using Chang´s method: normal weight 61%, mild kwashiorkor 23%, severe kwashiorkor 3% mild mixed 8%, moderate mixed 3%, mild marasmus 1.3% and severe malnutrition marasmus 1.3%. Discusion: The method Chang allowed earlier identification of malnutrition unlike BMI that underestimates malnutrition since its main focus is overweight and obesity.
