Identifying Those at Risk for Malnutrition in Elderly Populations: A Review of the

Research

Malnutrition is a major health issue among the elderly, with potentially devastating

consequences on physical and mental health. Research has indicated that one in three seniors

is at risk of malnutrition (Corish & Bardon, 2019), making it essential to identify those who

suffer from undernourishment or are susceptible to malnutrition. Early recognition and

amelioration can be less expensive than reverting to deficient nutrition late in life (Isenring et

al., 2012). This paper reviews research on how dietary status affects health outcomes for

elderly populations, as well as examines current methods of nutritional identification used by

medical professionals working with aging adults. It also seeks to discuss ways of early-

detecting signs of malnourishment so individuals may be provided appropriate care in due

time. The benefit of timely attention not only extends individual lives but preserves our

healthcare systems' resources. By exploring these issues further, we will look into strategies

that improve predictions related to senior dietary demands while securing increased quality

care within this population going forward.

The article by Corish and Bardon (2019) will form the basis for this discussion. The

authors examine different methods used to identify individuals: existing demographic factors

associated with increased malnutrition risks; oral dietary assessments; anthropometric

measurements such as BMI; biochemical elements present in blood indicative of nutritional

status; and quality-of-life components which could be indicative of poor nutrition. This paper

will review these methods in terms of their effectiveness in identifying those at risk or

malnourished as well as how to screen for malnutrition among the elderly, with particular

attention paid to associations between nutritional status and health outcomes.



Article Search

, The article by Corish & Bardon (2019) was chosen from the latest search on Medline

using key search terms such as "malnutrition screening", "elderly", and "health outcomes".

After searching different databases including CINAHL Plus Full Text, PsycINFO, Ovid

MEDLINE®, and ProQuest Medical Library available via EBSCOhost among others, I found

this article published in 2019 demonstrating evidence linking to current research on

malnutrition identification/screening amongst the aged care population particularly links

associated with health outcomes. Further, the article was of suitable scope for supporting

argument to my chosen topic. As such this paper will help explore associations between

nutritional status and health outcomes amongst the aged care population based on evidence-

based research by Corish & Bardon (2019).

Article Findings

The authors of the selected article Corish & Bardon (2019) reviewed various previous

studies to determine the main factors associated with the risk of malnutrition among the

elderly. They found that chronic illnesses often interfere with the intake, absorption, and

storage of energy as well as other nutrients necessary for metabolic function (Corish &

Bardon, 2019). In addition to age-related diminished lean mass accumulation or impaired

cognition; these will likely increase the susceptibility individuals have regarding nutritional

deficiencies (Isenring et al., 2012). Other findings concerning demographic issues

emphasize that more females remain malnourished than males in comparison (Corish &

Bardon, 2019). It should also be noted that some examinations operate better regarding our

desired population which includes methods such as short nutrient recurrence interrogations

concerning recent dietary activities and allude to numerous oral signs that may appear such

as dental problems when dealing with nourishment occasions amongst seniors (Isenring et

al., 2012)

Results were also reported highlighting current practices where anthropometric
