To achieve a consistent and accurate definition and diagnosis of malnutrition, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) collaborated with the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) to develop clinical characteristics of malnutrition: weight loss over time, inadequate energy intake compared with estimated needs, muscle loss, fat loss, fluid accumulation, and diminished grip strength. These characteristics were intended to distinguish between severe and nonsevere malnutrition for adults in all settings.
