The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Evidence Analysis Center is developing an evidence-based practice guideline to prevent and treat protein-energy malnutrition in older adults living in the community and long-term care. This session will translate the guideline's recommended applications into daily practice. The guideline will include recommendations for malnutrition assessment, such as use of valid and reliable assessment tools, as well as nutrition intervention recommendations for RDN interventions, enrichment, and oral nutrition supplements. Accordingly, presenters will analyze the current state of the evidence on nutrition care for older adults living in the community and long term care and provide practical information to apply these recommendations in daily practice through case study analysis.
