Engaging older adults, and all those who care for them, is pivotal to providing high-value nutrition care for older adults. Nurses and other interdisciplinary team members are essential to this process. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the rationale and evidence for interdisciplinary and systematised nutrition care as an effective nutrition care approach for older adults with or at risk of malnutrition. This chapter also serves as a guide to detailed chapters across this book to provide focal points on different aspects of nutrition care that should be considered across primary prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, secondary prevention and community settings (Dreinhöfer et al., Injury 49(8):1393–1397, 2018).

Declines in oral consumption and swallowing function are common reasons which may elevate the risk of malnutrition in the older adults. This study aimed to provide valuable information and contribute to the existing body of knowledge in this field as well as highlight the importance of a comprehensive assessment of oral health, swallowing function, and nutritional status in long-term care residents. This was a cross-sectional study. Thirty-nine participants were recruited from a nursing home. The comprehensive assessment was evaluated in participants, including oral health (Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT)), swallowing function (Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Eating Assessment Tool (EAT)-10), and nutritional status (Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). The average age of participants was 80.4 ± 11.7 years, and 46% of these older adults were found to be at the risk of malnutrition. There was a negative correlation between the OHAT and MNA-SF scores. In addition, subjects with poor oral health (OHAT score = 5~8), oral consumption of a modified diet (FOIS score = 4~6), and reduced swallowing function (EAT-10 score ≥ 3) were more likely to be at risk of malnutrition. A comprehensive evaluation of oral health and swallowing function was closely connected with the nutritional status of older nursing home dwellers.
