O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associação do risco de desnutrição e dos itens isolados da Mini Avaliação Nutricional (MNA®) com a ocorrência de internação hospitalar nos últimos 12 meses em idosos atendidos na atenção básica. Trata-se de um estudo transversal no qual foram avaliados 1229 idosos atendidos em Estratégias Saúde da Família de sete municípios da região Sul do Brasil. O risco de desnutrição foi avaliado através da MNA® e a ocorrência de hospitalização foi determinada por uma questão do instrumento Probability of Repeated Admission (PRA). Os idosos eram, em sua maioria, mulheres (61,7%), com média de idade de 71,7±7,7 anos. A frequência de risco de desnutrição foi de 23,3% e de hospitalização foi de 32,9%. A frequência de desnutrição e de risco de desnutrição foi duas vezes maior entre os idosos que internaram (36,8% versus 18,6% - P
