A project is being launched to raise awareness of malnutrition among elderly people, with government backing.
Nearly a million over-65s in England suffer from untreated malnutrition, says charity Age UK - almost all of whom are in the community.
The project will aim to identify individuals in this group and support those who need help to eat properly.
Age UK, which is leading the work, said it wanted to ensure people did not "slip through the net".
