To save time in screening, Rubenstein et al developed a shortened version, the Mini Nutritional Assessment®-Short Form or MNA®-SF in 2001, and created a 2-step screening process.

The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) has recently been designed and validated to provide a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in elderly patients in outpatient clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes. It has been translated into several languages and validated in many clinics around the world.

The MNA®-SF is a screening tool to help identify elderly patients who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The User Guide will assist you in completing the MNA®-SF accurately and consistently. It explains each question and how to assign and interpret the score.

Recommended intervals for screening with the MNA® are annually in the community, every three months in institutional settings or in persons who have been identified as malnourished or at risk for malnutrition, and whenever a change in clinical condition occurs.

The MNA is a valid/reliable screening tool that helps to identify individuals age 65 and over who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Persons who are malnourished tend to have longer hospital stays, greater complications, and greater risk of morbidity and mortality1.

The Mini Nutritional Assessment score (MNA) is probably the most widely used and best validated score in different elderly populations and settings [13 15]. The tool consists of a 6-item short form screening tool (MNA-SF) included in the 18-item long form scale (MNA-LF).

Recommended intervals for screening with the MNA® are annually in the community, every three months in institutional settings or in persons who have been identified as malnourished or at risk for malnutrition, and whenever a change in clinical condition occurs.

The MNA® is a validated nutrition screening and assessment tool that can identify geriatric patients age 65 and above who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The MNA® was developed nearly 20 years ago and is the most well validated nutrition screening tool for the elderly.

Soon after the MNA® was first introduced, it was recognised that its complexity and length prevented its use as a screening tool. Thus, the MNA®-SF (Short-Form) was developed by Rubenstein et al. in 2001.

The MNA consists of 18 questions derived from four parameters of assessment: anthropometric, general, dietary, and subjective. ... A score of 12 to 14 signifies normal nutritional status and no need for further assessment; 11 or lower indicates "possible malnutrition," and the interviewer proceeds to part 2.

The MNA(R) detects risk of malnutrition before severe change in weight or serum proteins occurs. Nutritional intervention: Intervention studies demonstrate that timely intervention can stop weight loss in elderly at risk of malnutrition or undernourished and is associated with improvements in MNA scores.
