A
The Nutrition Screening Initiative provides a screening tool to help identify adults older than 65 who are at nutritional risk. It is used by individual health practitioners and does not provide na-tional data on levels of nutritional risk. It is used to identify individuals who would benefit from nutrition interventions to prevent overt malnutrition, rather than preventing nutritional risk.
