Disease-related malnutrition is prevalent and observed in up to 1 in 2 patients admitted to hospital in Canada [1]. Patients with malnutrition at time of admission are at increased risk of longer length of stay, increased cost of care, disability, morbidity, and mortality [1-3]. Nutrition interventions are associated with improved clinical outcomes including survival [4-6] in patients at nutrition risk or with malnutrition, yet not all patients in need receive nutrition support [1].

Nutritional screening, the first key stage in addressing malnutrition, can vary across health care settings, leading to underrecognition and undertreatment [6,10].
In United Kingdom secondary care, screening to identify malnutrition in adults has been implemented successfully with the use of the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), which is a commonly used tool in United Kingdom hospitals [11].

Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) increases the risk of mortality among children aged younger than 5 years, affecting an estimated 17 million children worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries [1,2]. The Syrian conflict has exacerbated this crisis, with half a million children enduring chronic malnutrition and 137,000 aged younger then 5 years experiencing acute malnutrition, increasing their susceptibility to preventable diseases [3].

The MNA-SF questionnaire is a validated tool used to screen older adults with malnutrition, with sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy for predicting malnutrition being 97.9%, 100%, and 98.7%, respectively. The total MNA-SF score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of ≤11 suggesting premalnutrition or malnutrition [57]. The EQ-5 D-5 L questionnaire is a validated tool used to assess Qo L and includes 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression.

Older adults face greater risks of experiencing adverse health outcomes and complications, including malnutrition [4].
The prevalence of malnutrition among older adults is substantial and varies across different countries, ranging from an estimated 13% to 54% globally [5]. According to a recent study conducted in Nepal, the occurrence of malnutrition among a group of 320 older adults was found to be 11.6% [6].

Nutrition risk occurs when there are factors present that negatively affect food intake [5], and can lead to malnutrition if its causes are not addressed [3].
Many measures or instruments, commonly referred to as tools, are available to measure and screen for nutrition risk and malnutrition risk in community-dwelling older adults, such as Seniors in the Community Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition and the Mini Nutritional Assessment [6].

Child malnutrition continues to pose a significant challenge in low- and middle-income countries. Around 60% of deaths among children younger than 5 years in these countries are attributable to malnutrition [1]. Much of this burden is seen in regions of South Asia, where 2 of every 5 stunted children globally are found [2].

Malnutrition and physical inactivity are well-known modifiable behavioral risk factors for falls in older adults [7-9]. Older adults who are malnourished have a 45% higher risk of falling at least once [7]. Increased daily activity and moderate strength and intensity training 3 times a week can reduce the risk of falling by 30% [8].

Malnutrition in terms of undernutrition is a condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality risk, reduced quality of life, longer length of hospital stay, and greater economic costs for the health care sector [5-9]. Among home care recipients, malnutrition, or the risk of malnutrition, is common [10-12].
