Millions of children are at risk of dying from severe wasting, and RUTF is one of the most effective, life‑saving treatments we have. This energy‑dense therapeutic food helps children recover quickly, yet millions of those who need RUTF don’t receive it.
No child should die because they can’t access a proven treatment. 👉 Expanding RUTF coverage means more children survive, recover, and thrive. #March4Nutrition

NEW #ESPENFACTSHEET 🏥 in collaboration with @ERAS
#Malnutrition is a key risk factor in surgical patients, leading to increased complications, longer hospital stays, and delayed recovery.
Optimizing nutrition before, during, and after surgery is essential — and forms a cornerstone of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) approach.
Together with the @ERASSociety, ESPEN highlights how perioperative nutrition supports better outcomes and faster recovery.
Discover and share the new ESPEN Fact Sheet on Nutrition in Perioperative Care and ERAS, it will be available in multiple languages:

Milestone for clinical nutrition 🎉
WHO and the ICD-11 team in Geneva have approved a new diagnosis code: “Undernutrition in Adults” (5B72) — a long-awaited step for our community.
•The code recognizes adult undernutrition and aligns with GLIM-inspired criteria (etiologic + phenotypic).
•Structure: 5B72 with subcategories for inflammation-related, disease-related (non-discernible inflammation), and starvation-related undernutrition; post-coordination for XS0T (Moderate) and XS25 (Severe).
•major ICD-11 addendum will be implemented from 2027
Many thanks to ESPEN representatives campaigning for this initiative: Tommy Cederholm, Elisabet Rothenberg and Rocco Barazzoni.
Heartfelt thanks to Drs. Magdalena Fresk and Christian Francke and the Swedish ICD team at the National Board of Health and Welfare for their support, and to the many societies that endorsed the proposal.
What’s next: 2026 will be our year to prepare guidance and awareness- so that implementation in 2027 is impactful for patients and systems alike.
A big moment for global clinical nutrition. 🌍

Should national nutrition policy target "Ultra-Processed Foods" (UPF) as many advocate?
I consider concerns in a @NEJM Perspective
