This study found that the prevalence of undernutrition in older adults is high and needs attention. Sex, age, meal frequency, dietary diversity, being sick in the last 4 weeks, having hemorrhoids, and depression were the associated risk factors. Therefore, the government, family members, and other stakeholders should give more attention to older individuals.
