Nutritional Assessment (Mini Nutritional Assessment – MNA)

vegetables-1085063_1280

The MNA is a monitoring tool that aims to identify patients at risk of malnutrition. This tool is very useful in the hospital setting, as malnourished patients are subject to a longer hospital stay.

Usually the assessment is divided into:

  • General Evaluation
  • Lifestyle, physical activity, medication
  • Dietary assessment
  • Number of meals
  • Subjective assessment by the patient
  • Patient perception of health and nutrition status
  • Anthropometric parameters
  • Weight, BMI, body circumference, subcutaneous folds
