Food insecurity and malnutrition are interconnected conditions that impair patient health, worsen outcomes, exacerbate chronic health concerns, and burden our healthcare system. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the extent to which different population groups across the US experience and receive necessary care and interventions for these conditions. Many patients who present with malnutrition may also be food insecure—and vice versa. Identification of food insecurity or malnutrition can and should inform evaluation for the other condition and be managed in tandem. Improved identification of malnutrition and food insecurity risk factors in hospitals and other healthcare institutions can inform more effective and timely interventions as well as begin to address health disparities and improve health for all communities.
