Article Synopsis
- - Approximately 14% of older adults in the UK are at risk of malnutrition, and screening in primary care could improve their quality of life and reduce healthcare use.
- - The study developed an intervention (screen and treat protocol) to help primary care practitioners identify and support at-risk older adults and included interviews to gather insights from both practitioners and patients.
- - Key findings reveal that while patients often resist advice about malnutrition, they appreciate nutritional support; meanwhile, practitioners face logistical challenges and varying levels of engagement and understanding regarding the intervention’s goals.
