The prevalence of undernutrition in Dutch community-dwelling older individuals was relatively high, especially in home care patients.

The validity of MUST and SNAQ is insufficient for hospital outpatients. While SNAQ identifies too few patients as undernourished, MUST identifies too many patients as undernourished. We advise to measure body weight, height and weight loss, in order to define undernutrition in hospital outpatients.
