Overall, 93.5% understood general nutrition concepts, yet only 41.7% recognized psychosocial risk factors like depression.
Multivariate logistic regression identified higher education and better cognitive function as key predictors of malnutrition awareness.
Targeted education strategies are needed to improve awareness, particularly related to psychological factors in aging populations.
