Nutrition is the study of food's impact on health and disease, focusing on ingestion, digestion, absorption, and excretion processes.
Key conditions like osteoporosis (calcium deficiency) and scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) highlight the importance of nutritional knowledge.

Nutritional Status

Nutritional status reflects how well-nourished an individual is.
Determined by physical signs, medical history, blood/urine analysis, anatomical imaging, and dietary intake history.

Malnutrition

Defined as an undesirable health state, encompassing both undernourishment and overnutrition.

Water constitutes about 60% of body weight.
Fats (lipids) account for approximately 20%.
Remaining 20% consists mainly of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins.

Nutrition Tools and Standards

Established by government and health organizations to guide nutrient intake recommendations.
Aim to meet essential nutrient needs based on age, sex, weight, and health condition.

Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)

Comprises Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL).
DRIs help reduce chronic diet-related diseases risks like osteoporosis and coronary artery disease.

Dietary Guidelines and Food Guides
