NUT 112; MID 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT!!
What is a nutritional assessment? Answers :Collection/interpretation on:
Tissue nutrient reserves
Dietary factors affecting reserves
health outcomes to reserves
What are the direct measures of nutritional status? Answers :Anthropometric Biochemical Clinical
What are the indirect measures of nutritional status? Answers :Dietary intake
energy expenditure measurement
Why should nutritional status be measured? Answers :Surveillance of disease
observe impacts on health
research
evaluate success of programs
What is dietary assessment? Answers :Observations/reports of food intake Converted to nutrient intake and compared with recommended levels
What are examples of dietary assessment? Answers :Food record
24 hour dietary recall
FFQ
What is energy expenditure assessment? Answers :Measured/reported assessments of calories expended (sometimes includes exercise)
What are examples of energy expenditure assessments? Answers :Direct calorimetry
Indirect calorimetry
Physical activity logs
Accelerometers, heart rate monitors etc.
What are biomarker assessments? Answers :biological molecule found in the body that gives sign of bodies state
objectively measured
Are biomarker assessments free from error? Answers :no
What are examples of biomarker assessments? Answers :sreum retinol rbc folate concentration
What can nutrient specific biomarkers determine? Answers :Exposure (how much needed)
Status (how does someone compare to standards)
Function (how do they work under different conditions) Effect
What is clinical assessment? Answers :Medical history and physical examination Used to detect signs/symptoms of deficiency or excess
What is nutritional screening? Answers :Process of identifying characteristics known to be associated with nutrition problems
What is the purpose of nutritional screening? Answers :Identify indv for intervention
calc prevalence of deficiency or excess in a pop
How do you evaluate nutritional screening? Is there an issue with this? Answers :W/ cutoffs
yes, issues interpreting cutoffs
What are the steps to the progression of nutritional deficiency? Answers :Causes: Env conditions, reduced intake, malabsorption, excretion, higher requirements
Adaption: stores are depleted, metabolic alterations
Consequences: reduced growth, wasting, clinical signs
What assessments can be made at each stage to nutritional deficiency? Answers :Causes: Dietary intake
Adaption: biochemical
Consequences: Anthropometric, clinical
What does the progression to nutrition related chronic disease (NCD) look like? Answers :ie: Diabetes
Causes=env conditions, increased intake, reduced physical activity, reduced requirements
Adaption: obestiy, metabolic alterations
Consequences= clinical changes aka diabetes
How can progression to NCD be evaluated at each step? Answers :Causes: dietary intake, energy expenditure
Adaption: anthropometric, biochemical
Consequences: clinical
What does a wider normal curve suggest? Answers :Larger SD
What is CV (coefficient of variation)?
