🏥Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)
“…Malnutrition is a state in which a lack of nutrition causes measurable adverse effects on health. It can be both a cause and an effect of ill health. Adverse social factors can also increase the risk of an individual becoming malnourished.1-2 Despite a high prevalence, people with or at risk of developing malnutrition are often not identified and remain untreated.3
Due to the high prevalence of malnutrition, its adverse health effects, and frequent failure to identify and treat, MUST is an important screening tool. Developed by the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN), it aims to provide healthcare professionals with a standardised approach to identifying and managing malnutrition….”.

Always consider the broader body of evidence before drawing conclusions.” (Connect with Critikid on Facebook HERE)

People have low body weight and lack insulin. But the lack of insulin is not caused by the immune system. Instead, the body may not have received the correct nutrition during childhood to help the pancreas develop normally.”
