Numerous research studies have documented the inability of many health care providers to identify nutritional deficit vulnerability and early and advanced malnutrition states in the elderly. This article provides a clinical evaluation guide for identifying risks and diagnosing incipient and advanced malnutrition. Diagnosis and intervention can prevent loss of function and independence and decrease morbidity and mortality in the elderly.
