The SF-MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form) was also developed by Nestlé and is available at the internet (http://www.mna-elderly.com) [25, 26]. Briefly, being nutritionally at risk is defined between a range of 0–7 points. The SF-MNA is applied to elderly patients over 65 years. It is also a well-established assessment tool and of easy and fast application with good accuracy for assessing risk for malnutrition. Next to weight loss within the last 3 months, BMI, mobility and severity of illness are included in this score.
