A 2015 study found that the cost of malnutrition in the UK was estimated to be £19.6 billion per year, accounting for about 30 per cent of hospital admissions and 35 per cent of care home admissions. Despite this, many doctors are still unable to give comprehensive nutritional advice to their patients and help them understand the impact of food on their health.
