Özet: Malnutrition in old age is a significant problem. Mini Nutritional Assessment is a widely used international questionnaire to evaluate nutritional status of elderly. However its length limits its usefulness for screening. Rubenstein and colleagues developed a six question MNA Short-Form (MNA-SF). Later Kaiser et al. proposed top 10 revised versions of MNA-SF. The aim of the present study is to check the validity of MNA-SF proposed by Rubenstein and colleagues and further evaluate the top 10 revised combinations suggested by Kaiser et al.
