MaNuEL aims to create a network of dedicated scientists to build better research capacity on malnutrition across Europe. It will contribute to a common/shared understanding regarding the definition of malnutrition, the aetiology and prevalence of malnutrition in older persons, preferred screening tools, and effective interventions for malnutrition in older persons in different health care settings.
MaNuEL will provide insight into current clinical practice, policies, and health professional education on malnutrition and will identify best practice examples and recommendations for improvement. The activities of the Knowledge Hub will contribute to the development of a productive and sustainable competence network in the field of malnutrition.
