abstract: Sub-optimal nutrition is a leading fac-tor in all-cause mortality, the preponderance of non-communicable chronic diseases, and various health conditions that are treated by physiatrists, such as stroke and musculoske letal disorders. Furthermore, patients with chronic pain have a high prevalence of nutritional deficiencies, and malnutrition has been associated with limited rehabilitation outcomes in elderly patients with hospital-associated deconditio-ning. Thus, physiatrists may find it valuable to in-clude nutrition in their patient services. However, discussion of nutritional counselling in the physiatry literature is rare.
