dc.description.abstract | Key Messages
"Nutrient adequacy, a result of consumption of sufficient amounts of all essential nutrients and energy to meet individual requirements, is a prerequisite for normal growth, development and health. " Two thirds or more of hospital patients suffer from malnutrition at initial presentation. "A variety of standardized methodological tools to assess, restore and maintain nutritional status are available. " "A holistic approach is advised, including processes of screening for malnutrition, assessing nutritional status, diagnosing specific deficiencies, and designing and implementing an appropriate medical nutrition therapy plan. " Health professionals should be aware of and use available methodological and interpretive tools to assist them in this important task. | en_US |
