RESUMEN
Si bien la composición corporal de un individuo está determinada genéticamente, no es menos cierto que está sujeta a la constante de factores ambientales diversos (hábitos dietéticos, culturales, e incluso estéticos). También es imperativo establecer los cambios que ocurren en los diferentes compartimientos corporales en las distintas facetas de la relación salud-enfermedad.
Actualmente es posible reconstruir un sujeto a partir de componentes organizados jerárquicamente por niveles de complejidad creciente: atómico, molecular, celular e hístico. La comprensión de la organización hística de la composición corporal puede ayudar a los equipos básicos de trabajo dedicados a la provisión de cuidados nutricionales al paciente hospitalizado en la interpretación de los profundos cambios que la desnutrición energético-nutrimental ocasiona en el estado nutricional.
