                                Recent studies in middle-aged and older adults have shown the Dietary Screening Tool (DST) to be a valid, practical method for identifying nutritional risk and assessing overall diet quality. This rapid assessment helps healthcare providers to identify patients who may be at risk for poor nutritional intake and related health issues.
