DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
|ALREADY GRADED A+
PUBLIC HEALTH NUTRITION - ANSWER>>➢ Is about applying knowledge to the
solution of nutrition-related health problems
➢ Approach focuses on the promotion of good health (the maintenance of
wellbeing or wellness, quality of life) through nutrition and the primary (and
secondary) prevention of nutrition-related illness in the population
➢ Builds on a foundation of biological and social sciences, depends on
epidemiological evidence and involves the development and implementation of
programs to improve and maintain health.
HEALTH (WHO) - ANSWER>>➢ Defines health as a state of complete mental,
physical and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
PUBLIC HEALTH - ANSWER>>➢ Is defined as the collective action taken by society
to
protect and promote the health of entire populations. It can be defined as the art
and science of preventing disease, promoting health and prolonging life through
the organized efforts of society.
EPIDEMIOLOGY - ANSWER>>➢ Provides a rigorous set of methods to study
disease
occurrence in human populations.
NARROW APPROACH - ANSWER>>• Focuses on disease prevention and cost
containment, with health defined as the absence of disease
• Theory on the main cause of disease is based on the way in which individuals
live their lives.
• Motivation to change behavior is based on reducing risk at an individual level.
• Approach links an individual's own behavior to risk of disease
, • Burden of prevention and health promotion lies with the individual and seen as
their responsibility to address their risk behavior
• Aimed at identifying immediate and obvious problems now and addressing
them now.
BROAD APPROACH - ANSWER>>➢ Broad approach defines health as more than
the absence of disease.
➢ Links public health science with policy: the action and structures agreed by
society aimed at improving and maintaining health.
➢ Theoretical model is sociocultural: focuses on the wider environment and
seeks to understand the factors that enable individuals to make healthy choices
or inhibit them.
➢ Motivating concern is about addressing the underlying
sociostructural factors such as poverty, global issues and structures at a local,
regional, national and international level that affect health.
NUTRITION ASSESSMENT - ANSWER>>➢ Data collected from several different
sources to assess patients' nutritional needs, because no one parameter directly
measures nutrition status, determines nutrition problems, or identifies needs.
➢ Estimating the number of calories (kcal) needed per day is not easy.
➢ Direct measurements are not available except in a research setting. Although
predictive equations are convenient and inexpensive, their inaccuracy makes
them unreliable for designing an appropriate nutrition plan.
➢ Both overfeeding and underfeeding are to be avoided.
"ABCD" includes four key areas of data - ANSWER>>Anthropometrics assessment
Biochemical assessment
Clinical assessment
Dietary evaluation/assessment
Ecological assessment.
ANTHROPOMETRIC ASSESSMENT - ANSWER>>Simple, noninvasive techniques
that measures height and
Weight, head circumference, and skinfold thickness.
