This article examines the incidence of clinical malnutrition among nursing home residents and comments on the relevance of the COMA report on dietary reference values (1) to elderly people. The author discusses the medical, social and economic causes of malnutrition and postulates that the gap between rich and poor, which has widened in the last decade, has increased the proportion of elderly people nutritionally at risk. She highlights the vulnerability of nursing home residents, calls for further research and makes key recommendations to improve current practice.
