Exploring impacts of socio-demographics on nutritional health status of cirrhotic patients can be a breakthrough to minimize liver cirrhosis. Demographics, socioeconomic status, food intake, BMI, liver size, serum albumin and hemoglobin were assessed and correlated with physiological status of liver cirrhosis, data was collected for these factors by using questionnaire fill up and biochemical tests in lab. Association between gender and physiological status of volunteers was non-significant. Majority (69.1%) of volunteers had B positive and AB positive (68.9%) blood groups were amongst patients of liver cirrhosis. Study revealed that most of volunteers (72.1%) had sedentary life style. Most of the liver cirrhosis patients (81.4%) had reported sleeping time of less than 6 hours. About 67.8% cirrhotic patients belonged to low income socio-economic status. 71.4% patients who were suffering from liver cirrhosis had reported to be living in joint family system. Cirrhotic patient profiling indicated a high BMI trend. A significant correlation was found between physiological status with fruit and vegetable, cereals, meat, dairy, water intake, fats and oil as well as junk and snack intake. Small liver size, low serum albumin and low hemoglobin levels and have significant relationship to liver cirrhosis.
