Abstract

Objectives: To validate the modified Mini Nutritional Assessment ( MNA ) short‐forms ( MNA ‐ SFs ) with respect to agreement with full MNA classification in the target populations of the MNA . Design: Prospective analysis. Setting: Community, nursing home, rehabilitation. Participants: Six hundred fifty‐seven individuals aged 65 and older (75.3% female; mean age 82.3 ± 7.4). Measurements: Classification agreement between full MNA score and MNA ‐ SF scores. Results: Agreement between the full MNA and classification using the MNA ‐ SFs was 84.6% when the MNA ‐ SF using body mass index ( BMI ) was applied and 81.4% when the MNA ‐ SF using calf circumference ( CC ) was applied. The highest agreement of classification was found in the community setting (90.8% and 90.4%, respectively) and the lowest in the rehabilitation setting (72.4% and 71.4%, respectively). Both MNA ‐ SF s tended to underestimate nutritional status, but that was significant only for the MNA ‐ SF with CC . Conclusion: The modified MNA ‐ SF s represent a valuable tool for rapid and reliable nutritional screening.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
