Global patterns of change in the burden of malnutrition in older adults from 1990 to 2021 and the forecast for the next 25 years

Abstract

Despite a decline in malnutrition prevalence rate and DALYs rate since 1990, the burden remains high, particularly in high SDI regions where rates have increased. With a projected rise in new cases, effective prevention and management strategies are urgently needed to support the health of older adults.
