And among the parameters for nutritional starus, BMI, Hb, Hct were not included normal rage. 2)There was a significant difference in present diet(F=3.343, P=.026) according to general characteristics in the fatigue in patients with gastric cancer. 3) The disease-related characteristics such as Age, treatment type, after period diagnosis, care giver, payment were frequently related to poorer nutritional status. Subjects received chemotherapy showed lower lymphocyte level than subjects received operation, and the subjects were diagnosis less than 1 month, were showed lower Hematocrete level. 4) There was a significant negative correlation between fatigue and nutritional status(r= -.371,
