StrongKidsScore

The StrongKids score (STRONGkids= Screening Tool Risk On Nutritional Status and Growth) is a (validated) measuring tool for determining the extent of a child’s malnutrition. StrongKids is developed to recognize and treat malnutrition in children aged > 1 month to 18 years in a hospital setting. The tool comprises four questions, each of which is assigned a score. The total score determines the extent of malnutrition.
