Study Notes
Clinical Nutrition and Nutritional Assessment
- The lecture covers clinical nutrition and nutritional assessment.
- The objectives include introduction, nutritional sources (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, trace elements), nutritional requirements (adults and children), assessment and classification of malnutrition, and methods for nutritional assessment.
- A healthy diet provides balanced nutrients that meet the body's metabolic needs without excess or shortage.
- Malnutrition is bad nourishment, encompassing both inadequate and excessive nutrient intake, as well as the body's inability to utilize nutrients properly.
- Malnutrition is a major cause of death in children under five years old.
- A pie chart illustrates that malnutrition is the leading cause of death in children.
- Energy needs depend on basal metabolism, rate of growth, physical activity, onset of puberty, and presence of chronic diseases.
- Basal metabolic rate is closely related to resting energy expenditure
- Methods for calculating resting energy expenditure include WHO, Schofield, and Harris-Benedict equations.
- Carbohydrates are the primary energy source.
- Proteins are crucial for tissue growth and repair.
- Fats provide a significant amount of energy.
- Vitamins and trace elements are essential micronutrients.
- Normal growth patterns show dramatic physical changes in the first year of life, including weight tripling and height increase.
- Children experience average weight and height gains.
- Energy requirements differ by age in children.
- Protein requirements differ by age in children.
- Calculation methods exist for calculating daily energy requirements for children of varying weights.
- Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is highly prevalent in developing countries.
- PEM is a major cause of death in children under five years.
- PEM can be primary (due to inadequate intake) or secondary (due to other underlying conditions).
- Consequences of chronic malnutrition include impaired growth and development, increased susceptibility to infections, poor wound healing, and impaired neurological and cognitive development.
- Malnutrition occurs in several forms, including acute (wasting) and chronic (stunting).
- Obesity, the opposite extreme, is linked to various health problems, including cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
- Prevalence data for obesity in adults and children is presented.
- Methods to assess nutritional status include anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary methods.
- These methods are summarized as ABCD.
- Additional anthropometric measurements include midarm circumference, skin fold thickness (triceps and subscapular), and suprailiac.
- Growth charts are used to monitor child development and identify nutritional issues.
- A summary of clinical manifestations of PEM is provided.
- Methods of nutritional assessments are further broken down into anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary assessment.
