title: [Mini Nutritional Assessment: a reproducibility study for the elderly].
abstract: The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), the most used scale for detecting undernutrition in clinical practice, has been validated in the hospital setting. We have evaluated its reproducibility in a French nursing home for dependent elderly people. It is globally acceptable, but some items should be more standardized.
