The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and the American Society for
Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) recommend that a standardized set
of diagnostic characteristics be used to identify and document adult malnutrition
in routine clinical practice. An etiologically based diagnostic nomenclature that
incorporates a current understanding of the role of the inflammatory response on
malnutrition's incidence, progression, and resolution is proposed. Universal use
of a single set of diagnostic characteristics will facilitate malnutrition's
recognition, contribute to more valid estimates of its prevalence and incidence,
guide interventions, and influence expected outcomes. This standardized approach
will also help to more accurately predict the human and financial burdens and
costs associated with malnutrition's prevention and treatment, and further ensure
the provision of high quality, cost effective nutritional care.
