Study Notes
Nutritional Assessment
- Nutritional assessment involves evaluating an individual's nutritional status
- Adequate diet consists of nutrients needed for maintenance, repair, living processes, and development
- Factors to consider for nutritious meal planning include regional availability of foods, socio-economic conditions, taste preferences, food habits, age of family members, storage and preparation facilities, and cooking skills
- Recommended energy and nutrient intakes are standards for nutrients, not specific foods or diets, adequate for maintaining health and well-being for most healthy individuals
- Essential food groups include milk (calcium source, riboflavin, high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and fats), meat (high-quality protein, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, and zinc - liver, kidney, and saltwater fish recommended), bread and cereal (thiamine, protein, iron, niacin, carbohydrates, and cellulose), and vegetable-fruit (fiber, minerals, vitamins A and C)
- Nutritional status, or nutriture, is the degree to which an individual's nutritional needs are met through their food intake and the balance between intake and expenditure
Aspects of Nutritional Assessment
- Dietary history and intake data
- Biochemical data
- Clinical examination
- Anthropometric data
- Psychosocial data
Methods of Assessing Dietary Intake
- 24-hour recall: The individual recalls everything eaten in the last 24 hours or previous day.
- Food frequency questionnaire: Pattern of questions about food frequency modified based on 24-hour recall.
- Dietary history: More comprehensive than other methods, including details like socio-economic conditions, physical activity, ethnicity/cultural background, home life and meal patterns, appetite, allergies, food intolerances, dental/oral health, gastrointestinal concerns, chronic diseases, and medication
- Food diary or record: The individual documents everything that's eaten or drunk for a specified period.
- Observation of food intake: Most accurate method, but also most time-consuming, expensive, and difficult. Requires knowing the food presented and the amount eaten.
Evaluation of Food Intake Data
- Evaluation by food group method is the simplest, fastest, yet crudest way to evaluate data by determining servings from each of the four food groups consumed during a recorded day
General Rules for Menu Planning
- Use the entire day as a unit for meal planning, not individual meals.
- Plan meals that include food from all four food groups (energy, body-building, and body-regulating).
- Include some raw foods (fruits and vegetables).
- Include at least one high-satiety-value food and some roughage in each meal.
- Combine or alternate bland foods with foods of strong flavor.
- Alternate soft and crisp foods.
- Vary colors, foods, and arrangement of foods in meals.
- When serving many foods, decrease portion sizes and have few rich foods.
- Avoid using the same food twice in a day (except staples like rice, bread, and milk)
- Avoid using same food in the same meal in different forms.
- Avoid using the same food repeatedly in a period of time.
Meal Patterns
- Traditional breakfast pattern examples: fruit, egg, bread/rice, hot beverage
- Example of good menu guide for lunch and dinner: meat/fish/poultry, vegetables, rice, fruit or dessert
Nutrition Survey
- An epidemiological investigation of population nutritional status, using various methods
- Includes an evaluation of ecological community factors
Significance of Nutritional Assessment
- Crucial for nutritional planning
- Provides data for planning and evaluation
- Guides public health priorities and responsibilities at national/regional/provincial/city/municipal/barangay levels
Methods of Nutrition Assessment
- Direct information: clinical examination, biochemical examination, anthropometric measurements, biophysical technique
- Indirect information: studies on food consumption, health conditions, and vital statistics, food supply situation, socio-economic conditions, and cultural/anthropological influences
Factors Considered in Selecting a Nutrition Survey Method
- Unit to be surveyed
- Type of information required
- Degree of reliability/accuracy
- Facilities and equipment available
- Human resources (personnel expertise)
- Time reference
- Financial support
Features of Methods & Reference Standards Used
-
Clinical Assessment: Provides a rapid overview of nutritional status using physical observations, but can be non-specific and overlook underlying issues
- Advantages: covers many factors in a short time, inexpensive, useful for quick screening
- Disadvantages: non-specific signs, overlapping deficiencies, observer bias
-
Biochemical Assessment: Provides objective measurements, but is often costly and time-consuming
- Advantages: independent of emotional/subjective factors, detects early subclinical problems
- Disadvantages: expensive equipment, time consuming (collection and analysis), standards of collection and storage of samples affect results
Common Nutritional Problems
- Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)
- Marasmus: severe malnutrition caused by insufficient calories/fats/carbohydrates and protein
- Symptoms: thin/brittle, loss of muscle mass
- Kwashiorkor: severe malnutrition from insufficient protein
- Symptoms: thin/brittle, bulging abdomen (ascites), loss of muscle mass
- Marasmic Kwashiorkor: combines aspects of both marasmus and kwashiorkor
- Marasmus: severe malnutrition caused by insufficient calories/fats/carbohydrates and protein
- Xerophthalmia: progressive eye problem caused by vitamin A deficiency
- Anemia: blood condition caused by insufficient protein and iron
- Goiter: thyroid gland enlargement
- Vitamin B2/Riboflavin deficiency: leads to mouth and lip and skin irritations
Clinical Symptoms of Common Nutritional Problems
- Detailed description of the symptoms of Protein-Energy Malnutrition, Xerophthalmia, Anemia, Goiter, and Vitamin B2/Riboflavin Deficiency
Prevalence Criteria for Determining Public Health Significance of Xerophthalmia and Vitamin A Deficiency
- Thresholds for different indicators (night blindness, Bitot spots, corneal abnormalities, corneal scars)
Anthropometric Measurements
- Measurement of physical body dimensions and composition
- Methods used: weight for age, height for age, weight for height/length, skinfold thickness, birth weight
Reference/Standards Used
- Overview of the weight for age, weight for height, height for age, and their combinations and how they are used
- Definitions of normal, underweight (mild, moderate, severe), and overweight
Chapter 10: Infancy
- Nutritional base for rapid growth/development during the first year of life
- Characteristics of a person considered to be an infant: age, weight, length, head circumference, skin properties
- Nutritional requirements: calories, protein, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, water
- Detailed descriptions of requirements and suggested allowances
Infant Feeding
- Types: breastfeeding, bottle feeding, mixed feeding
- Breastfeeding: benefits for mother and infant
- Bottle feeding: appropriate under specific situations
- Mixed feeding: complementary feeding, benefits and caveats
Formula Preparation
- Aseptic and terminal methods of preparation; preparation guidelines and considerations
Feeding Time
- Feeding frequency for infants: depends on weight
- Typical feeding schedule for infants of different ages
Simple Tips for Feeding Infants
- Important tips and guidelines to improve infant feeding practices
- Concerns on feeding practices
