Millions of older adults and hospitalized patients are at risk for malnutrition, often remaining undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness and standardized protocols. Knowing which assessment tool is used to evaluate the risk of malnutrition is the critical first step for healthcare professionals to identify at-risk individuals and initiate timely and effective interventions.

According to the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force, malnutrition affects nearly half of hospitalized patients, making accurate nutrition assessment essential. Learning how to calculate SGA score using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a reliable method for clinicians to identify and address malnutrition risks.
