The present study is focused on determining whether nutritional status and protein intake are predictive factors of sarcopenia in older adults at the "San Francisco de Asis" Care Center. Loreto 2024. Method: Analytical, observational, cross-sectional study. The sample included 40 older adults from the "San Francisco de Asis" Nursing Home. Results: 82.5% (n = 33) of the participants were thin according to the Body Mass Index (BMI), 45% (n = 18) were malnourished according to the Mid-Arm Circumference (MAC), and 90% (n = 36) were malnourished according to the Mid-Calf Circumference (MCC). 70% (n = 20) showed adequate protein intake. When evaluating the risk of Sarcopenia according to the SARC-F screening, 50% (n = 20) of the participants presented High Risk of Sarcopenia, similarly the other 50% (n = 20) of the participants were found to have Low Risk of Sarcopenia. A significant negative correlation was found between the mid-calf circumference (MCC) and the risk of sarcopenia (r = -0.528, p < 0.001). A higher mid-arm circumference (MAC) was negatively correlated with the risk of sarcopenia (r = -0.341, p = 0.031). Mid-arm circumference (MAC) (B = 1.638, p = 0.043) and mid-calf circumference (MCC) (B = -0.723, p = 0.010) were found to be predictive factors of sarcopenia risk. Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between mid-calf circumference (MCC) and the risk of sarcopenia (r=-0.528, p<0.001). A higher mid-arm circumference (MAC) was negatively correlated with the risk of sarcopenia (r = -0.341, p = 0.031). Mid-arm circumference (MAC) (B = 1.638, p = 0.043) and mid-calf circumference (MCC) (B = -0.723, p = 0.010) were found to be predictive factors of sarcopenia risk. Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between mid-calf circumference (MCC) and the risk of sarcopenia (r=-0.528, p<0.001). This indicates that the higher the MCC, the lower the risk of sarcopenia. On the other hand, a higher mid-arm circumference (MAC) was correlated with the risk of sarcopenia (r=-0.341, p=0.031).
