Malnutrition Screening Elderly Mna Calculator

The DETERMINE Your Nutritional Health Checklist is a 10-item screening tool from the Nutrition Screening Initiative that flags nutrition risk in older adults. Each yes answer adds points for factors like illness, skipped meals, or weight change, for a total score from 0 to 21: Good (0-2), Moderate Nutritional Risk (3-5), or High Nutritional Risk (6 or more).

This calculator reproduces the DETERMINE Your Nutritional Health Checklist, a nutrition screening tool — not a diagnostic test and not a substitute for a clinical nutrition assessment. A score of 6 or higher (High Nutritional Risk) means it's time to talk to a doctor, registered dietitian, or other qualified health professional, who can look at the full picture and recommend next steps.
