Implication

Cross-sectional analysis identifies high malnutrition risk in Saudi adults on Home Enteral Nutrition, suggesting critical predictors include BMI and weight loss.

Key Points

  • Malnutrition risk was high among Saudi adults on Home Enteral Nutrition, with 65.7% classified as high risk.
  • The strongest predictors of higher MUST risk were lower BMI and greater unintentional weight loss with p<0.001.
  • A cross-sectional study with 210 participants revealed significant associations between health indicators and malnutrition risk.
  • Findings call for routine nutritional screening and dietitian follow-up to manage risks effectively.
