Abstract:

Engaging older adults, and all those who care for them, is pivotal to providing high-value nutrition care for older adults. Nurses and other interdisciplinary team members are essential to this process. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the rationale and evidence for interdisciplinary and systematised nutrition care as an effective nutrition care approach for older adults with or at risk of malnutrition. This chapter also serves as a guide to detailed chapters across this book to provide focal points on different aspects of nutrition care that should be considered across primary prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, secondary prevention and community settings (Dreinhöfer et al., Injury 49(8):1393–1397, 2018).
