The objective was evaluate the anxiety and nutritional status of people with PD. Methods : This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study. Results: 91 participants: age arround 63 years, majority men, married, retired. Dividing the group between adults and elderly (>60 years of age), the majority of adults had a normal nutritional status or were overweight, and elderly people were overweight. The anxiety score was higher in female participants (p=0.005), without a partner (p=0.0034); negative correlation between age and the anxiety score (r=0.180; p=0.044); positive correlation between the triceps skinfold and anxiety (r=0.183; p=0.041); the correlation between sex and anxiety level remained independent of marital status and age. Conclusion: The early detection of nutritional disorders and anxiety levels in people with PD, especially in women, is of great importance as it can affect their clinical outcomes.
