Summary

This longitudinal observation study investigates associations between nutritional risk in adults aged 65+ and use of health services, morbidity and mortality. The first hypothesis is that older service users at nutritional risk will use a higher number of services/consultations and have a higher morbidity and mortality, compared to older patients not at nutritional risk. Further, the study evaluates the usefulness of the tool 'nutrition plan'. The second hypothesis is that older service users at nutritional risk who have a nutrition plan have lower subsequent morbidity and mortality, compared to older service users at nutritional risk without a nutrition plan.
