Different degrees of malnutrition and immunological alterations according to the aetiology of cirrhosis: a prospective and sequential study

Table 5 Uni and multivariate analysis of the anthropometric parameters of general evaluation (BMI) and muscular (AMA) and lipidic (AFA) compartments.

UNIVARIATE ANALYSIS
HYPOTHESIS	BMI	AMA	AFA	MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS
FOUR EQUAL GROUPS	0,112	0,343	0,170	0,001
THREE EQUAL CIRRHOTIC GROUPS				0,001
ALC = ALC + HCV				0,812
ALC = HCV				0,001
ALC + HCV = HCV				0,001
ALC = CONTROL				0,001
ALC + HCV = CONTROL				0,003
HCV = CONTROL				0,089

Note: The HCV group, with no alcohol, was significantly different from other aetiologies being closer to the control group.
