07:30 – 08:15 Nutrition SIG – Annual Meeting Chair: José A. Morais Nutrition is the cornerstone to healthy aging and since malnutrition has tremendous deleterious effects on health and physical function of older adults, a proposition to create a SIG in nutrition was endorsed by the CGS Executive in 2017. The objectives of this SIG are based on suggestions from members with an interest in nutrition and a goal to share knowledge and experiences, and to advance the field. We held our foundational meeting during the 2018 ASM in Montreal. Membership comprises of 12 members and the coordinators are Drs. José Morais (Montreal) and Peter Spadafora (Guelph). During the last year, Drs. Morais, Peitsch (Manitoba) and Powers (Ottawa) organized a workshop for the 2019 ASM: Malnutrition in Older Adults: One Cannot Treat What is Not Identified. We are holding our second annual meeting and wish to further develop our activities. Please join us if
