Researchers have found that asking specific questions about nutrition can find people who are at low, medium, or high risk of developing health problems. This is called nutrition screening.
Not getting enough nutrition puts someone at nutrition risk. Nutrition risk means there is a chance of developing health issues or diseases that may affect physical functioning due to muscle loss, bone loss, and malnutrition. These complications can lead to serious health problems that can affect the ability to be independent.
