Nutrition Screening Initiative (NSI)

The Nutrition Screening Initiative (NSI) is a program designed to identify older adults who may be at risk of poor nutrition. It uses simple questions and assessments to spot signs like weight loss, poor appetite, or health issues that could affect nutrition. By identifying these risks early, healthcare providers and caregivers can intervene with appropriate support, such as dietary advice or medical care, to help seniors maintain good health and well-being. The goal is to prevent nutrition-related problems before they become serious health issues.
