MNA® Forms

For nearly 30 years, Nestlé has provided the MNA® forms to users with the object of promoting widespread nutrition screening in the elderly.  Our goal is to identify and treat malnutrition.  The MNA® is available as the “MNA®” or the “full MNA®”.  Many versions are in interactive format.

• The “MNA®” refers to the MNA®-SF, the recommended version of the MNA® for clinical use.
• The ‘full MNA®” refers to the original 18-item MNA®.
• The  “Self- MNA®” refers to the self-administered version

Please note changes in the process for downloading and using the MNA® form effective 2023.
