Özet

Background: Malnutrition is a pitfall in older adults despite its high prevalence and serious consequences. There are various screening tests however, none of them have been validated for our country. In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that MNA (long form of MNA) and MNA-SF (short form of MNA) are applicable to screen malnutrition in Turkish geriatric patients.
