refers to the degree of balance b/t nutrient intake & nutrient
requirements
nutritional status
-affected by physiologic, psychosocial, developmental, cultural,
& economic factors

Achieved when sufficient nutrients are consumed to support
optimal nutritional status day-to-day body needs and any increased metabolic demands
due to growth, pregnancy, or illness

occurs when nutritional reserves are depleted and/or when
under nutritional status nutrient intake is inadequate to meet day-to-day needs or added
metabolic demands

Caused by consumption of nutrients, especially calories, sodium,
over nutritional status
and fat, in excess of body needs

defined as a BMI equal or greater than 85th percentile based on
child obesity age & gender
*16% of ages 2-19

defined as a BMI of 30 or greater
adult obesity
*over 70% in U.S

environment that encourages large portions of high-fat, energy
obesogenic environment dense foods & fails to encourage healthy behaviors such as
physical activity

adult emergence that increases risk of cardiac issues
metabolic syndrome -3 of 5 biomarkers = increase in BP, fasting plasma glucose,
triglycerides, waist circumference, low HDL cholesterol

aging = increased risk for undernutrition or overnutrition
malnutrition in older adults -risk factors: poor physical or mental health, social isolation,
alcoholism, limited functional ability, poverty, & polypharmacy

sarcopenia normal age related loss of muscle mass

sarcopenic obesity low muscle mass w/ excess fat

type of obesity:
monogenic obesity
-early onset severe obesity

type of obesity:
polygenic (common) obesity
-combination of genetic & environmental factors

, factors:
-cultural definition of food
- frequency & number of meals eaten away from home
cultural factors to consider
-form and content of ceremonial meals
-amounts & types of foods eaten & regularity of food
consumption

1st step = nutritional screening
parameters:
-weight & weight hx
nutritional assessment
-conditions associated w/ increased nutritional risk
-diet information
-routine lab data

tool available for screening malnutrition in adult acute-care
malnutrition screening tool
patients

mini nutritional assessment tool available for screening nutrition in older adults in long-term
(MNA) care & community settings

used for individuals identified at nutritional risk during screening


includes:
comprehensive nutritional
-diet hx & clinical information
assessment
-physical examination for clinical signs & anthropometric
measures
-lab tests

includes:
-number of meals/ snacks per day?
-type & amount of food eaten?
-fad, special, or alternative diets?
eating pattern questions
-where is food eaten?
-food preferences & dislikes ?
-religious or cultural restrictions ?
-able to feed self?

includes:
-what is your usual weight?
-how much lost or gained ?
usual weight questions - 20% below or above desirable weight?
-over what time period?
-recent weight change?
-reason for loss or gain?

-changes in appetite, taste, smell, chewing, swallowing
-recent surgery, trauma, burns, infection
-chronic illnesses
-N/V, diarrhea, constipation
subjective data: nutritional -Food allergies or intolerances
history -medications &/or nutritional nutritional supplements
-patient-centered care
-alcohol or illegal drug use
-exercise & activity patterns
-family hx

info:
older adults important -prior dietary hx in ages 40s and 50s
nutritional info -factors affecting present dietary intake
- vit. D & calcium intake

clinical signs of nutritional general appearance: obese, cachetic, or edematous
deficiencies *include lab tests & physical exam

anthropomorphic measures:
-percent usual body weight -formula calculation
derived weight measure
-BMI - practical marker of optimal weight for height and an
indicator of obesity or protein-calorie malnutrition

, anthropomorphic measure:
waist-to-hip ratio -assess body fast distribution as an indicator of health risk
*predicts health risks

anthropomorphic measure:
arm span (total arm length)
-useful in situations where height is difficult to measure

anthropomorphic measure:
serial assessment -made at routine intervals weekly, biweekly, or monthly,
dependent on patient population

cardinal features of this are individualized and based on realistic
patient goals but include:
-regular physical exercise 4-5 times per week for 30 min
long term weight loss
-eating low cal, low fat diet --> intake of 1400-1500 kcal/day ; fat
intake 20% - 25% of total cal
-monitoring daily food intake

protein calorie malnutrition
marasmus
-starved appearance

protein malnutrition
kwashiorkor
-well nourished appearance but edematous

Marasmus/kwashiorkor mix emaciated appearance

pellagra Niacin deficiency

scorbutic gums caused by vitamin c deficiency

follicular hyperkeratosis Vitamin A and/or linoleic acid deficiency

bitot spots vitamin A deficiency

rickets vitamin D deficiency & calcium deficiency

magenta tongue riboflavin deficiency

Diagnosed in the presence of 3/5 biomarkers:
-waist circumference
-glucose level above 100mg/dL or if being treated for
metabolic syndrome (METS) hypergylcemia
-HDL-C or being treated for hyperlipidemia
-triglycerides above 150 mg/dL or being treated for elevated TG
-HTN - systolic & diastolic parameters or being treated for it

consequences include:
-malabsorption of protein & calories --> must eat small & dense
meals
Bariatric surgery nutritional -malabsorption of vitamins & minerals --> take supplements
consequences -weight regain --> avoid excess intake of calorically dense/ liquid
foods
- obstruction --> avoid chunks of food that could cause a
blockage
