Generating evidence and insights to improve nutritional care across healthcare settings globally.

Research background

nutritionDay is a research-driven initiative designed to generate high-quality, standardized data on nutritional care and outcomes in healthcare settings. The annual data collection provides a unique, real-world snapshot of nutritional practices across countries, specialties, and care settings.

Data for international research

The nutritionDay database supports observational and epidemiological research on disease-related malnutrition, nutritional risk, interventions, and outcomes. The large, multinational dataset enables comparisons across healthcare systems and contributes to evidence-based recommendations in clinical nutrition.

Publications and impact

nutritionDay data have contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences. The findings help raise awareness of disease-related malnutrition and support improvements in nutritional care worldwide.
