Sintesi	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.	The Nutrition Self-Efficacy Scale, sometimes called the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (DASES), is an 8-item instrument measuring confidence in performing diet-related behaviors and self-management skills. Developed by Lorig and colleagues at the Stanford Patient Education Center in 2003, it is based on self-efficacy theory and measures respondents' confidence in their ability to eat healthily, manage portions, choose healthful foods, and overcome dietary barriers. The scale is used in diabetes care, weight management, and general nutrition intervention research.
