Summary: The study found that cognitively impaired older adults living alone were more likely to have poorer nutrition compared to cognitively normal and cohabitating individuals. It emphasizes the importance of paying extra attention to the nutritional status of this group of community-dwelling older adults.

Summary: This study found that nearly half of older inpatients in tertiary hospitals in China are at risk of malnutrition, which is associated with increased hospital length of stay, mortality, and 90-day readmission. The use of nutritional assessment tools combined with hemoglobin level may help identify high-risk patients. These findings have important implications for hospital service planning.

Summary: This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perspectives on older persons' mealtime experience, revealing a shared goal of creating appealing meal conditions but a lack of consensus on how to prioritize meal-related issues. There is a need for integrated team-based education on older persons' nutritional needs to enhance mealtimes in clinical practice.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the association between poor oral health and the risk of malnutrition in older adults. The findings suggest that older adults who lack daily oral hygiene, have chewing problems, and are edentulous are at a higher risk of malnutrition.

Summary: This study conducted a scoping review on the use of nutritional assessment items in adult patients with oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia, identifying seven nutritional assessment categories. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria are recommended for assessing nutritional status in adult patients with dysphagia, to standardize assessments and allow for future global comparisons.

Summary: Fatigue is a common symptom that can result from various factors, including inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and poor nutrition. It is important to understand the mechanisms behind fatigue in order to develop targeted interventions and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing fatigue. In older adults, inadequate dietary intake can contribute to the development of fatigue by depleting energy reserves and causing muscle breakdown. Research on fatigue is critical to addressing this burdening condition and reducing associated costs.
