Abstract: Due to lack of uniformity in terms of understanding nutrition status, comorbidity types, patient mobility and BMI readings mal-nutrition screening forms cannot be used to correctly comprehend each patient's nutritional status. The goal of this study is to use a data mining approach to understand nutrition screening forms in order to determine the malnutrition status of hospitalised geriatric patients. The evaluation measures are used to indicate the accuracy of the classification algorithms. The research work on nutrition screening form, which is designed using classification algorithms, will help physicians to understand their patient's nutritional status and help in avoiding malnutrition in them.

Keywords: malnutrition screening forms; classification; data mining; evaluation measures.
