Malnutrition with seniors is a gateway to many other medical issues. Current guidelines teach seniors to eat the protein and high calorie foods first (even dessert first) before hitting the vegetables. This result is consistent with the current body of knowledge.

From what I recall from seeing mortality curves vs BMI, away from the expected minimum the curve rises much faster for low BMI than high BMI.

Makes one think. In a high-self-control-valuing society, "heavy" is perhaps seen as lacking virtue, but in many societies "skinny" is perhaps seen as lacking utility.
