| Annotation | The prevalence of malnutrition is high across the all community and care settings in Europe, and research suggests that malnutrition can be as high as 50% among older hospital in-patients. The conference was run in association with the UK presidency of the European Union (EU), and was attended by stakeholders from a broad spectrum of health, residential and community care. This report draws on discussion and recommendations from the conference regarding awareness and detection of malnutrition, the effectiveness of interventions, and the cost and burden to society. The aim is to focus the attention of policymakers and all stakeholders on the need for action on malnutrition. (RH). |
