Abstract

Rationale: Malnutrition and frailty are common among community-dwelling older adults, resulting in poor outcomes and increased health care costs; yet most patients living with these conditions go unidentified and untreated in the community1. There is a need for community health professionals from all disciplines to understand, recognise and act on suspected malnutrition and frailty. Our team has developed a guideline, specific to the Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) context, for identifying and managing malnutrition/frailty in the community setting.
