PROMISS Newsletter #2 – February 2018

 

Malnutrition is a critical issue, with a direct impact on older people’s quality of life. In Europe alone, about one out of 5 older people living at home is malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.

Preventing malnutrition is urgent for the whole society, for older generations of today as well as those of tomorrow.
