Malnutrition
1 in 10 older people are malnourished and this can have a big effect on health, mobility and wellbeing. Losing weight is not a normal part of ageing and with simple advice and support, weight loss and dehydration can often be prevented.
Leaflets are available here to raise awareness about the signs of malnutrition and dehydration and give advice and tips on how to start to treat these problems –

Help for people losing weight and at risk of malnutrition:
You can also check whether you are at risk of malnutrition using this self-screening tool: www.malnutritionselfscreening.org
