AnnotationNutrition screening is an essential component when providing health care for the older person. With the shift of geriatric care from a medical to a functional model, functionality should become a hallmark in the validation of nutrition screening tools. This report compares and contrasts nutritional and functional indices, and provides direction for the development of future nutrition screening tools. (KJ/RH).
