Abstract

An inherent connection exists between malnutrition, food insecurity, and health equity. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are at the forefront of addressing these to impact better health outcomes for the overall population in various practice settings (eg, hospital, post-acute and long-term care, community). Identifying malnutrition helps flag those who are food insecure and conversely, identifying food insecurity may suggest the presence or risk of malnutrition.1 The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) supports RDNs and nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered (NDTRs) by developing and providing tools, resources, and initiatives related to malnutrition, food insecurity, and health equity.
