摘要
Malnutrition is a common and often unrecognized problem in elderly persons. Every health evaluation in this population should include an assessment of nutritional status. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a thoroughly validated and easily used assessment tool that can detect malnourishment or the risk of malnourishment before clinical signs and allow early intervention before symptoms manifest.
