Introduction
An individual’s nutritional status mainly results from various
factors interacting at different levels (Shirakabe et al., 2018).
Nevertheless, an individual’s eating pattern is an essential
factor that dictates disease occurrence, particularly some
chronic conditions like hypertension, cancer, stroke, heart
disease, and diabetes. Again, adverse outcomes, including
malnutrition, poor life quality, low birth weight, mortality, and
disability, are relative to poor eating patterns. Therefore,
recognizing diet’s role at the onset of disease and evaluating the
nutritional status of a community, family, and individual are
essential public health. In this case, nutritional assessment help

to obtain information concerning the geographical distribution
and prevalence of nutritional disorders in a community or a
specific population group. The assessment also aids in planning
corrective measures and examining the effectiveness of applied
strategies simultaneously.
Article Search
Identifying recently published articles that support present
nutritional status evaluation is necessary to locate essential
evidence for the topic. Hence, it was imperative to determine
scholarly academic sources whose publications range within the
past five years to facilitate up-to-date information that applies
to the paper’s focus. In this case, I used search terms
“Malnutrition,” “Mini Nutritional Assessment,” and “Diets” in
the NCBI and PubMed search databases. Here, I located the
articles “Assessing and Evaluating Nutritional Status, Diets, and
Physical Activity” and “Evaluation of Nutritional Status of
Elderly Patients Presenting to the Family Health Center” using
this technique to find information that supports nutritional
status assessment.
Article Findings
The findings in the articles emphasize the significance of
implementing nutritional status assessments to maintain
individuals’ health status. Cross-sectional research took place at
a domestic health center in Turkey. The study sample consisted
of 102 patients in FHC without severe dementia, communication
problems, or psychiatric conditions (Nazan & Buket, 2018).
Participants completed an MNA questionnaire regarding daily
meal numbers, feeding mode, fluid and protein consumption,
anthropometric measurements, and patients’ self-view
concerning health and nutritional status. In the study, 31% of
the participants had malnutrition risk, while 13% were
malnourished. The findings showed that malnutrition prevalence
was higher in males, and malnutrition risk increases with age in
any geriatric population. Again, patients with malnutrition
portrayed severe appetite loss. Generally, the study shows that
the malnutrition rate increase rapidly in parallel with the global

elderly growth. Hence, the article addresses the topic because
the application of nutritional screening examinations for the
elderly people would facilitate health measures to reduce
mortality resulting from malnutrition. The reason for article
selection was its use of a cross-sectional study, making it
possible to analyze outcomes and findings to develop in-depth
research or new theories.
Evidence for Practice
There is evidence that nutritional depletion severely affects
disease progression and medical and surgical interventions for
patients suffering from chronic or acute disease. Again,
nutritional depletion prevalence is high in many patients groups
and increases because of an aging society. Again, polypharmacy
and chronic conditions are also factors that affect people’s
nutritional status. In this case, the government recommends a
yearly dietary evaluation to facilitate early disease detection to
encourage health promotion. Additionally, the federal
government updates the guidelines to facilitate adherence to
nutritional intake recommendations every five years (Gallegos,
2020). The interventions entail a healthy eating pattern with
limited calories, sodium, and saturated fat intake. In this case,
individuals may lessen the probability of chronic diseases
related to sedentary lifestyles and obesity by making daily
improvements towards lifestyle choices. The concern located in
the evidence is that incorporation of nutritional intervention and
assessment into the standard medical practice is yet to happen.
Sharing of Evidence
The evidence from the articles would be significant to share
among healthcare professionals, family members, and patients.
Information sharing would be relative to the specific targeted
population. Offering patients with written information would be
necessary to encourage them to make long-term beneficial
choices on their nutritional status. In this case, mass
notification systems would be necessary to distribute educative
information about nutritional status to all patients and health
professionals. After sharing the evidence with the healthcare

professionals, they can collaborate with peer support
organizations, nonprofit community service organizations, and
healthcare clinics to help community members with easy
mealtime schedules, especially the elderly.
Conclusion
The studies’ findings show an increased demand for nutritional
status assessment, particularly for elderly adults, as
malnutrition increases with age. Again, well-focused training
programs can influence communities to address various
nutritional needs. In this case, patients would gain from
additional clinical management relating to eating and feeding
practices. Generally, research interventions that enhance proper
nutrition, especially for older people, are necessary.
