Malnutrition and Older Adults

Did you know 1 in every 2 older adults is at risk for malnutrition? Our friends at defeat malnutrition today are working to achieve the recognition of malnutrition as a key indicator and vital sign of older adult health risk. Their work focuses on malnutrition screening and intervention through regulatory and/or legislative change across the nation's health care system.
