Abstract
Inadequate dietary intake by older hospital patients is complex and influenced by a range of barriers. Multilevel and multidisciplinary interventions based on a shared understanding of food and nutrition as an important component of hospital care are essential to improve dietary intake and reduce the risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Improving awareness of the importance of food for recovery amongst hospitalised older people and healthcare staff is a priority.
