Vannala Girisham* and Divya. G.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients has been recognized as an important parameter in the outcome of morbidity states. Impaired nutrition support in patients during hospital stay may worsen the patient’s nutritional status and increased risk of complications. The present study aimed to estimate the nutritional status by assessment of malnutrition assessment score for early initiation of measures. The data was screened and assessed based on the Mini Nutritional Assessment and the results were drawn. Nutritional programs should be conducted and people in rural areas should be educated regarding aspects of nutrition and regularly assess their health status.
