Why Malnutrition Awareness Matters
Malnutrition is a widespread and often overlooked condition that affects patients across all age groups. It can lead to longer hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and poorer health outcomes. In fact, malnourished patients are 2.3 times more likely to die in the hospital and may incur up to 73% higher hospital costs.2
