AB - INTRODUCTION: As the world's population ages, health problems among older rehabilitation patients show complicated features characterized by multimorbidity, functional decline, and interwoven dietary hazards. METHODS: This study uses a narrative review methodology to systematically examine the theoretical framework, key components, and current practice of the integrated rehabilitation-clinical-nutrition management model among older rehabilitation patients. RESULTS: The integrated management model demonstrates potential benefits in terms of functional recovery, nutritional improvement, prevention and control of complications, and mental health. The paper also critically examines the limitations of current research, evidence heterogeneity, and research gaps. DISCUSSION: The collaborative integration-based integrated rehabilitation-clinical-nutrition management approach has emerged as a crucial tactic for boosting quality of life, optimizing healthcare resource distribution, and increasing functional outcomes among older patients. Suggestions for improvement are offered from the standpoints of public health service systems, human resource allocation, and policy support. This review aims to provide recommendations for clinical practice, health management, and policy-making, while encouraging more consistent and long-lasting use of integrated care models in geriatric rehabilitation.
