Up to 40 % of hospital patients and 50 % of nursing home residents are thought to be malnourished .
Malnutrition Week ANZ ( MWANZ ) is a dedicated time to bring attention to the staggering rates of malnutrition in Australian and New Zealand communities and healthcare settings . It is your opportunity to unite with your colleagues to raise awareness of the important and necessary work being done in the malnutrition space .
While dietitians live and breathe nutrition , they can ’ t be the only healthcare professionals to ‘ champion ’ nutrition in hospitals and community settings . That ’ s why the theme of this year ’ s MWANZ campaign is : Be a nutrition champion ! Don your metaphorical superhero cape and start the conversation with your multidisciplinary healthcare colleagues : Malnutrition impacts lives . We need to make a difference .
