Resumen	The Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener is a 14-item food frequency questionnaire designed to rapidly assess adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern. Developed by Schröder and colleagues in 2011 and validated in the PREDIMED randomized controlled trial, it is one of the most widely used tools for measuring Mediterranean diet compliance in research and clinical practice. The MEDAS is particularly valuable for epidemiological studies, intervention trials, and cardiovascular disease prevention programs.	The Mini Nutritional Assessment is a simple, rapid, and non-invasive screening tool designed to identify malnutrition and nutritional risk in older adults. Developed by Guigoz, Vellas, and colleagues in 1994, it combines subjective assessment with objective anthropometric and laboratory measurements. It is widely used in clinical practice, research, and community settings to detect nutritional decline and guide intervention.
