O objetivo é avaliar a adesão às consultas de retorno em pacientes de ambulatório universitário de nutrição clínica e fatores associados. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, retrospectivo, quantitativo e analítico. Foi realizado em um ambulatório universitário de Nutrição Clínica em município do norte de Minas Gerais. Realizou-se análise de associações entre a adesão às consultas de retorno e as variáveis independentes, adotando-se o modelo de regressão de Poisson.  Participaram deste estudo 872 pacientes, a maioria do sexo feminino (68,2%), adultos (69,6%) e baixa escolaridade (69,6%). Foi observado prevalência de 67,4% e de 17,7% para o primeiro e segundo retorno nutricional, respectivamente. Observou-se que faixa etária de idosos, presença de comorbidades e de exames bioquímicos foram associados ao retorno nutricional ambulatorial. Houve uma baixa adesão ao acompanhamento nutricional, reforçando a importância de elaboração de estratégias motivacionais para que se alcance resultados positivos para a promoção da saúde. ABSTRACT Adherence to return consultations in patients in a clinical nutrition university ambulatoryThe aim of this work was to evaluate adherence to return visits in university outpatient clinic nutrition patients and associated factors.
