Detailed Description

The population to be studied (n=300) will be individuals who are 60 years or older and participate in congregate meal sites or other community groups in Florida. Demographic information will be collected and participants will be assessed by the MNA® (Mini Nutrition Assessment) and screened by the COAST nutrition screening tool. Participants' hand grip strength and performance on the five times Sit to Stand test will be used to evaluate their functional status. Weight, height, mid-arm circumference and calf circumference will be measured as part of the MNA screening tool.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Adults 60 yrs and older
Participants will be asked to take the full MNA and COAST tools, separately .They will take a hand grip strength test to evaluate their functional status and five times Sit to Stand test as part of the COAST screening tool. Moreover, their weight, height, mid-arm circumference and calf circumference, will be measured as part of the MNA screening tool.
Other: Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA® )
MNA® is a validated nutrition screening and assessment tool that can identify geriatric patients age 65 and above who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.
Other: Comprehensive Older Adult Screening Tool (COAST)
Develop a comprehensive older adults screening tool for community dwelling older adults who attend congregate meal sites to assist in the evaluation of undernourishment or those at risk that is simple, faster, and less expensive
