Study Notes
- Nutritional status can be observed or measured by methods ABCD.
Anthropometric
- Used for figure analysis.
- Measures height, weight, body circumference, and muscle/fat ratio.
Biochemical
- Blood samples are analyzed for nutrient and by-product levels.
- These are then compared to standards.
Clinical (Physical)
- Includes medical history and physical exam details.
Dietary
- A detailed assessment of food and beverage intake and patterns is done.
Malnutrition
- Impaired health results from nutrient deficiency, excess, or imbalanced intake and metabolism of nutrients in the body.
Undernutrition
- Occurs when daily nutrient needs are not met.
- All reserves are depleted.
- The body starts draining nutrients from vital tissues in order to maintain itself.
Overnutrition
- Excessive food intake, especially of energy-rich nutrients, is consumed.
Vitamin/Mineral Toxicity
- High doses can cause toxic levels and serious health problems.
Effects of High-Energy Nutrients
- Lead to high blood sugar (diabetes), fat buildup (obesity), high blood pressure, and stroke.
