Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and haemodialysis (HD) cause limitations in patients' lives, interfering with their quality of life, and nutrition is fundamental to the treatment of the disease. The aim of this study was to correlate quality of life, as measured by the SF-36 instrument, with food consumption and nutritional status in patients with CKD undergoing HD, using quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research. Anthropometric assessment, collection of biochemical test results, application of the SF-36 questionnaire, and dietary history were performed. The most common disease related to CKD was high blood pressure, and the average Body Mass Index was 25.04 4.50kg/m . Based on skinfold measurements, 73 patients were malnourished. The final nutritional diagnosis was that 80% of the sample was malnourished. Based on the average biochemical test results, only phosphorus and creatinine were adequate. In the SF-36 average scores, the lowest value was for physical limitations and the highest was for social aspects. Average energy and protein consumption was below the recommended levels. A positive correlation was found between caloric, protein, fibre, calcium, and carbohydrate intake and quality of life.
