Comparison of two malnutrition risk screening methods (MNA and NRS 2002) and their association with markers of protein malnutrition in geriatric hospitalized patients
Malnutrition occurs frequently in the elderly and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) has been used most frequently in the geriatric literature. The nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS) has been proposed as universal screening method for hospitalized patients. The aim of our study was to compare both tools as they are correlated with protein malnutrition.
