Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Health - Nutritional Science, grade: A, , course: Geriatrics, language: English, abstract: Malnutrition is very common in elderly, and as average life expectancy is increasing with correlate decrease in fertility and mortality rates worldwide, this change will shift the epidemiology towards more geriatric populations (>60 yrs old). There are different tools to evaluate nutritional status; however, the most widely used and adapted tool is the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) Tool. The aim of this report study is to draw a random sample from elderly patients and evaluate their nutritional status retrospectively 3 months before their admission. It aims to link malnutrition with coexistence of relevant diseases and a literature review will be conducted accordingly. It also aims at increasing awareness amongst elderly people and youth about successful aging, and conducting a field study to an Elderly Care Centre to investigate its roles and duties in helping the geriatric community in Riyadh.
