Study Notes
Puberty and Adolescent Nutrition
- Physiological Anemia of Growth: A temporary anemia caused by rapid growth during puberty.
-
Pubertal Stages:
- Pre-pubertal Stage: Before the onset of puberty.
- Early Adolescent Stage: Marked by the beginning of puberty and increased susceptibility to peer influence on eating habits.
- Middle Adolescent Stage: A period of significant physical and emotional development, with peer pressure playing a major role in food choices.
- Late Adolescent Stage: A period of near-adult physical development and greater autonomy in food choices.
-
Hormones and Puberty:
- GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone): Produced by the hypothalamus, stimulates the production of LH and FSH.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Play crucial roles in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
- Estradiol (Estrogen): Plays a crucial role in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics.
-
Factors Influencing Adolescent Nutrition:
- Snacking: Can contribute to weight gain and obesity, particularly when combined with skipping meals.
- Binge Eating: A pattern of eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, associated with unhealthy eating habits.
- Eating Away From Home: Can lead to poor food choices and reduced intake of healthy foods.
- Vegetarian Diets: Can be healthy, but require careful planning to ensure adequate intake of essential nutrients.
-
Nutrition Screening and Assessment Tools:
- MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment): A validated tool for identifying malnutrition or risk of malnutrition in older adults (65 years and older).
-
Factors Increasing Vitamin B12 Requirements in Elders:
- Atrophic Gastritis: Inflammation and thinning of the stomach lining, leading to reduced B12 absorption.
- Proton Pump Inhibitors: Medications used to treat acid reflux, can interfere with B12 absorption.
- Lack of Intrinsic Factor: A protein necessary for B12 absorption, can be deficient in older adults.
- Metformin: A medication used to treat diabetes, can interfere with B12 absorption.
- Sarcopenia: Defined as a loss of muscle mass combined with reduced muscle function, often observed in older adults.
- Frailty: A clinical state of vulnerability characterized by progressive multisystemic decline, reduced physiological reserve, and increased susceptibility to adverse health outcomes.
Nutrition Education for Adolescents and Older Adults
- Social Marketing Approach: Focuses on consumer choices among alternative behavior patterns.
- Community-Based Approach: Emphasizes building on indigenous knowledge about local foods and food preparation, fostering community participation.
- Current Trends: The social marketing and community-based approaches are being used more effectively, as they take into account individual and societal factors that influence food choices.
-
Malnutrition in Children and Adolescents:
- Wasting: The prevalence of wasting among adolescents in 2019 was 11.7%.
- Overweight and Obesity: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents has decreased by 9.8%.
-
Nutrition Surveillance and Assessment Tools:
- ENNS (Expanded National Nutrition Survey): A national survey that provides data on the nutritional status of Filipinos.
- NNS (National Nutrition Survey): A national survey that provides data on the nutritional status of Filipinos.
-
Programmes Addressing Malnutrition in the Philippines
- Tutok Kainan Dietary Supplementation Program: Provides food supplements to pregnant women and children aged 6-23 months.
