Background. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence and relationship of symptoms with reduced dietary intake, weight, and functional capacity in patients with head and neck cancer.Methods. Three hundred forty-one patients were prospectively screened with the patient-gene rated subjective global assessment before treatment. Logistic analysis was used to relate symptoms to reduced dietary intake, weight, and functional capacity. Cumulative hazard analysis was performed to determine the time and risk of weight loss of each symptom. Survival analysis was performed with Cox proportional hazards model.Results. Anorexia, dysphagia, mouth sores, and others were significant predictors of reduced dietary intake and weight. Symptom presence accelerated the time and probability of weight loss. Body mass index
