Abstract	The present study, entitled “Assessment of Dietary Pattern among Hospitalized Patients,” was conducted to assess the dietary habits, food consumption patterns and nutritional status of 50 hospitalized patients. A descriptive research approach was adopted. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, personal interviews, anthropometric measurements and the 72-hour dietary recall method. Height and weight were recorded to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), while dietary intake was assessed over three consecutive days. The findings revealed variations in food consumption among patients, influenced by their health conditions and dietary requirements. The study emphasizes the importance of balanced nutrition, individualized therapeutic diets and nutritional counselling to improve nutritional status and support faster recovery among hospitalized patients.
