Overview

Scoping review compares nutrition literacy assessment tools in older adults, highlighting gaps and suggesting improvements.

Key Points

  • Current nutrition literacy assessment tools lack cultural appropriateness and require further validation.
  • 12 nutrition literacy evaluation instruments were identified, with both unidimensional and multidimensional tools present.
  • The Mini-Nutritional Assessment's Portuguese version was validated only for validity, missing reliability evaluations.
  • Enhancing these tools with artificial intelligence can improve their applicability and effectiveness for elderly care.
