Malnutrition Awareness Week: 6th-12th November Malnutrition in our communities are rising. Did you know that recognising the signs of malnutrition can reduce the need for GP visits, hospital admissions, and create better outcomes? @IRSPEN INDI #MAWS23

This week is #MalnutritionAwarenessWeek. Unintended weight loss is a sign of malnutrition - if we can't check a persons weight, there are some signs of weight loss we should look out for that could suggest weight loss

Some great resources developed on spotting the signs of malnutrition and how simple tips on how this can be managed at home. These can be found on nutricia website or PDF booklet on indi.ie/images/CL3089_… #maw2023

The ageing process can lead to a gradual loss of muscle mass and strength from the age of 40. This can make it harder to carry out daily activities. A new BDA Older People Specialist Group resource explains how to maintain or improve muscle health as we age: bda.uk.com/resource/muscl…
