“…A combination of at risk and high risk categories resulted in a prevalence of up to 62% (Southgate et al, 2010;Watson et al, 2010;Wham et al, 2011c). Living alone (McElnay et al, 2012;Ramage-Morin and Garriguet, 2013;Wham et al, 2011c), less social support (Ramage-Morin and Garriguet, 2013), depression (Ramage-Morin and Garriguet, 2013), poor self rated health (Wham et al, 2011a), disability (Wham et al, 2011a) and eating alone (Watson et al, 2010;Wham et al, 2011a) were identified as factors associated with malnutrition risk. Meanwhile, a higher mortality rate within 5 years was documented in the high nutritional risk group, compared to those in other groups (Broeska et al, 2013).…”

“…Meanwhile, a higher mortality rate within 5 years was documented in the high nutritional risk group, compared to those in other groups (Broeska et al, 2013). Low nutritional risk was associated with being physically more active, greater muscle mass and muscle strength, and a lower percentage of body fat (Wham et al, 2011c). The SCREEN © II may need to be modified when used in different populations from which it was developed.…”

Introduction Nutrition screening is an initial procedure in which the risk of malnutrition is identified. The aims of this review were to identify malnutrition risk from nutrition screening studies that have used validated nutrition screening tools in community living older adults; and to identify types of nutrition interventions, pathways of care and patient outcomes following screening. Methods A systematic literature search was performed for the period from January 1994 until December 2013 using SCOPUS, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed and COCHRANE databases as well as a manual search. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined for the literature searches and the methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines. Results Fiftyfour articles were eligible to be included in the review and malnutrition risk varied from 0% to 83%. This large range was influenced by the different tools used and heterogeneity of study samples. Most of the studies were cross sectional and without a subsequent nutrition intervention component. Types of nutrition intervention that were identified included dietetics care, nutrition education, and referral to Meals on Wheels services and community services. These interventions helped to improve the' nutritional status of older adults. Conclusions Timely nutrition screening of older adults living in the community, if followed up with appropriate intervention and monitoring improves the nutritional status of older adults. This indicates that nutrition intervention should be considered a priority following nutrition screening for malnourished and at risk older adults. Further evaluation of outcomes of nutrition screening and associated interventions, using structured pathways of care, is warranted.

“…Recent research estimates 31-60% of the older NZ population to be at high nutrition risk. [9][10][11] Dietitians apply robust scientific knowledge about food and nutrition to promote optimal health outcomes to individuals, groups and communities in states of both health and disease. Dietitians are registered health professionals who meet standards required by the NZ Dietitians Board under the NZ Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCA) 2003.…”

“…Low food intake or consumption of compromised dietary variety by the elderly with poor appetite and difficulty in mastication may lead elderly more vulnerable to malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency. Such health disorders are further accentuated by social, psychological and physical factors [7][8][9]. Several studies have been conducted to address the overall nutritional status of elderly both in developed [10] as well developing countries [11][12][13].…”
