All participants were screened as per standard methodology for \u2018MUST\u2019. For the Patients Association Nutrition Checklist, they provided information about signs of unintentional weight loss in the past 3\u20136\u00a0months, experiencing loss of appetite or interest in eating.

The majority (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0197; 63%) were living alone.
