Introduction: The evaluation of the adductor pollicis muscle (APM) thickness has been described as a technique which appears as non-invasive, fast and low cost alternative to nutritional assessment. Objective: This article aims to review on the evidences concerning the use of the APM thickness standards to nutritional assessment of adults and the elderly. Materials and Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted using Medline/Pubmed, LILACS and Embase. We have selected articles published in the last 10 years, in Portuguese and English. Results: Twenty two articles were identified, of which 10 met the criteria for inclusion/exclusion from the study. The analyzed articles were organized in the categories: healthy subjects, institutionalized elderly and medical or surgical patients. Conclusions: The APM standard can be used in the nutritional assessment of healthy subjects and in various clinical situations, although there are not cutoff points for all populations. For a more accurate nutritional diagnosis, it is essential to combine the APM standard with other methods and parameters of nutritional assessment.References
