Lutz Nutrition and Diet Therapy Chapter 1
Primary disease prevention - practices implemented to prevent and avert disease
Secondary disease prevention - monitoring techniques to discover disease early to control their effects
(ex. blood testing and monitoring of pre-diabetes)
Tertiary disease prevention - use of treatments after a disease occurs to prevent complications or
promote adaption
6 classes of nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water
Function of polyphenols (plants) - stimulate the immune system, prevent cell damage, reduce
inflammation
When was the Human Genome Project completed and published? - April 2003
Each person has 23 ______________ which contain genes - chromosomes
Epigenetics - process that regulates how and when genes are turned on and off; due to internal or
external factors
Name some external factors studied in epigenetics - radiation, chemicals, and diet
Name some internal factors studied in epigenetics - hormones, enzymes
Nutrigenetics - determine gene variants to identify nutritional factors that trigger dysfunction or
disease (ex. lactose intolerance, celiac disease)
, Lactose intolerance is common in which groups - Native Amereican, Asian, African, SOuthern American
descent
What is celiac disease caused by? - gluten in wheat, rye, barley which inflames the small intestines
Nutrigenomics - The study of how nutrition interacts with specific genes to influence a person's health
How many American households were experiencing food insecurity in 2017? - 12.3%
Which demographic experiences the highest rate of food insecurity in the US? - single women with
children (31.6%)
Why are low- income people more susceptible to obesity and obesity-related illnesses? - They tend to

food
Nutritional status - body's condition related to intake and use of nutrients
Dietary status - describes what a person has been eating
Steps to provide nutritional care - 1. Assessment
2. Analysis/diagnosis
3. Planning/interaction
4. Monitoring/evaluation
Speech pathologist role in caring for someone with nutritional deficiency/problems - assess swallowing
(dysphagia)
Occupational therapist role in caring for patient with nutritional issues - attain maximum functioning
(ex. obtaining assistive devices)
