The MNA® (Mini Nutrition Assessment) tool was designed and validated in numerous studies in Europe and the U.S over the course of 5 years. At the publication date of this paper, the MNA® was utilised in over 2000 clinical research all over the world, ranging from community care to hospital settings. This paper reviews 30 years of clinical research and practice which has utilised the MNA® tool worldwide.

MNA® (Mini Nutritional Assessment) is a validated nutrition screening/assessment tool to identify individuals 65 year and above who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The online resource utilises a number of questions which patients answer and provides them with a score at the end in which they can determine what category they fit into whether they have: a normal nutritional status, at risk of malnutrition or malnourished.

40 recommendations for nutritional care of older persons with dementia were developed with an emphasis on nutritional adequacy being an integral part of dementia management.

The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®) is a validated screening tool to help identify individuals over the age of 65 who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition to help determine nutritional status. This guide provides recommended nutrition interventions based on the patients' MNA® scores.
