economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an active and
healthy life
define food insecurity - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅exists when people lack access to sufficient amounts of
safe and nutritious food and therefore are not consuming enough for an active and healthy life
Define undernutrition or chronic hunger - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅the result of prolonged low levels of
food intake and/or low absorption of food consumed
the status of persons, whose food intake regularly provides less than their minimum energy
requirements
food deprevation
famine - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅extreme shortage of food with underlying crop failure due to bad
weather, war and civil strife or both
results in acute undernutrition
malnutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a broad term for a range of conditions that hinder good health,
caused by inadequate or unbalanced food intake or poor absorption of food consumed
refers to under and over nutrition
Over-nutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅excessive food intake in relation to energy requirements
,what is good nutrition? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a diet that meets the requirements for an active,
healthy life
growth, activity, productivity, chronic disease prevention
ways to determine a good diet? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅dietary reference intakes dris
1. rda: recommended dietary allowance (level of intake to meet 97-98% healthy people)
2. ear: estimated average requirement (level to meet needs of 50% people)
3. ul: tolerable upper level (highest level of daily intake to pose no risk of adverse health effects).
developed originally to prevent deficiencies
dietary guidelines
evidence based recommendations, association vs casualty, dietary pattern
what is a healthy us style eating pattern - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅fruits
veggies
protein
dairy
grains
oils
no
saturated / trans fat
added sugars
sodium
,what protects you against malnutrition and noncommunicable diseases (diabetes, heart disease, stroke,
cancer) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅a healthy diet!!
when should healthy dietary practices start? what is something that really aids in this? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅early in life
breastfeeding really helps healthy growth and improve cognitive development. may have longer term
health benefits like reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing ncds (non
communicable diseases) later in life
energy intake (calories) should be in balance with what - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅energy expenditure.
total fat shouldn't exceed 30% of total energy intake to avoid unhealthy weight gain
what percent of total energy intake of free sugars should you limit - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅less than 10
for additonal health benefits, 5
how little should salt intake be and what will this percent if you are under this number - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅less than 5 g per day
prevents hypertension and reduces risk of heart disease/stroke in adult pop
WHO has agreed to reduce global populations intake of salt by 30%. want to lengthen time before you
bet diabetes/obesity
ways to determine nutritional status - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅clinical assessment: physical signs
biochemical assessment: laboratory measurements
dietary assessment: dietary recall, dietary records, populations (food balance sheets)
, anthropometric assessment: height, weight, bmi, body composition (waist circumference, mid upper
arm circumference), growth (comparisons to population/reference standards)
--stunting: low height for age
--wasting: low weight for height
--underweight: low weight for age
--z score: number of sds above/below mean
the cycle of malnutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅baby low birth rate - child stunted - adolescent
stunted - pregnancy low birth weight gain / woman malnourished - elderly malnourished
huge emphasis on fetal nutrition and first two years of life (1st thousand days)
interventions at other times during the life of cycle are also important
4 types of malnutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅1. over-nutrition
2. secondary malnutrition
3. micronutrient malnutrition
4. protein calorie / energy malnutrition
POMS
over-nutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅too many calories (and not enough exercise) which leads to
obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease
transition diets now a consideration of WHO to increase worldwide in chronic disease due to dietary
change
90% of deaths bc of this are already occurring in low to middle income countries
