A Review of Community-Based Frailty and Malnutrition Screening in Older Adults: Current Interventions and Tools.
Review in Journal of community health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Frailty and malnutrition are prevalent and interrelated conditions among community-dwelling older adults, contributing to functional decline, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare utilization. Early identification through community-based screening offers an important opportunity for prevention; however, screening practices and linked interventions remain heterogeneous across settings. This structured narrative review synthesized peer-reviewed studies published between January 2021 and February 2026 identified through the Scopus database. Eligible studies focused on adults aged ≥ 60 years and examined either community-based frailty or malnutrition screening tools or community interventions that incorporated screenings. Data were synthesized descriptively across two analytical components: screening tools and screening-informed interventions. A total of 42 studies were included. Screening tools ranged from low-resource anthropometric measures and brief questionnaires to structured nutritional indices and multidomain frameworks. Interventions commonly integrated screening with nutrition-focused strategies, physical activity, education, or multidomain lifestyle programs delivered in community settings. Recent studies increasingly emphasized feasibility, early risk identification, and linkage between screening and preventive action. Community-based frailty and malnutrition screening is increasingly used as a gateway to preventive interventions rather than as an isolated assessment. Aligning feasible screening tools with actionable intervention pathways is critical for advancing healthy aging strategies. Future research should prioritize long-term outcomes, implementation sustainability, and system-level integration within community health services.
