MNA-SF can predict short-term and long-term mortality in geriatric outpatients as well as MNA-LF. A cut-off value of 11, indicating risk of malnutrition according to MNA-SF, may be used for the risk estimation of 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year mortality. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of screening all geriatric outpatients for malnutrition and especially the risk of malnutrition for early intervention and treatment.
