2017, Clinical Nutrition ESPENCitation Excerpt :BMI is incorporated into the MUST calculation in order to define nutrition risk and potential need for referral for nutritional assessment/support. Research suggests that the use of WHO defined BMI ranges in older adults may mask weight status and only identify those who have already become undernourished [16]. This could affect the management of patients at genuine risk of malnutrition.
