Prevention and Early Intervention of Malnutrition in Later Life: Best Practice & Implementation Guide


The report, Prevention and Early Intervention of Malnutrition in Later Life: Best Practices & Implementation Guide jointly written by the Malnutrition Task Force and the British Dietetic Association is meant to bring awareness to the issue of malnutrition and dehydration and how it can be resolved.

The Malnutrition Task Force is an independent group of experts from the UK who have united to address the prevention of malnutrition and dehydration of older adults in hospitals, care homes and in the community.  They have identified the social and psychological reasons why malnutrition and dehydration happens, and have created best practice guidelines on how this problem can be corrected.  It provides real, practical advice and support for health care and social care groups to better tackle the problem.
