Abstract
This is the first study to characterise malnutrition in adult Indigenous Australians in a hospital inpatient setting. Compared to non-Indigenous patients the burden and pattern of malnutrition was both higher and markedly different among Indigenous patients. These data highlight the critical importance for actively screening for and responding to malnutrition in this vulnerable patient population in regional and remote settings.
