MALNUTRITION
Malnutrition causes more additional costs to our healthcare system than obesity in Western countries. Caring for a malnourished person costs up to 10 000 € more per year than caring for a person in good nutritional condition. It causes unneccessary human suffering, pressure ulcers, prologend hospitals stays, falls and fractures. Malnutrition increases by age, but in most cases it is preventable with careful nutritional care. Unfortunately the possibilites of nutritional care in health and social care settings are mostly unrecognized and underused.
MUONA supports UN's sustainable development goals. Goal 2 includes ending all forms of malnutrition and addressing the nutritional needs of the elderly by 2030.
