A good diet/nutrition is necessary to maintain the proper functioning of the body, prevent diseases and when they appear to be able to overcome them and recover. This statement is true at any stage of life, but much more so when the individual begins to be vulnerable, as occurs with aging.
Carrying out a nutritional screening will allow people who are at risk of malnutrition to be detected, and a complete assessment to identify alterations in their nutritional status.
