WFP/IFAD Qinling Mountain Area Poverty Alleviation Project in Shaanxi and Hubei provinces of China is a six-year integrated rural development project, combining food aid and long-term loans. The goal of the project is to improve food security and the living standards of the rural population in that area.. The nutrition assessment of children under 5 years old is a key part of the baseline survey, which will facilitate the measurement of changes in food security and living standards. According to field investigations carried out by the Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) Unit and a national nutrition expert in 1998 and 1999, malnutrition was prevalent among pre-school children1 due to limited dietary variety, limited nutrition and childcare related knowledge, and insufficient access to health facilities and technicians. However, a more precise assessment of the situation was considered imperative for the project monitoring and evaluation process. The indicators generated from this survey ...

AIMS: To assess the prevalence of nutritional risk in hospitalized subjects and the agreement in nutritional diagnosis between five nutritional screening protocols. METHODS: A cross-sectional study included patients of both genders, aged 18, admitted to hospital from January to March 2013 Within the first 48 hours of admission, the following nutritional screening protocols were applied: Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA); Mini Nutrition Assessment Short Form (MNA-S); Subjective Global Assessment (ASG); Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002); and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST). The protocols consist of questions related to weight loss, body mass index, functional capacity, food appetite and gastrointestinal disturbances. Subjects were classified into two levels: well-nourished and malnourished. RESULTS: A sample of 100 patients were evaluated, which showed 49 (49%) individuals at nutritional risk by the MNA protocol; 53 (53%) by MNA-SF; 23 (23%) by MUST; 7 (7%) by NRS; and 4 (4%) by ...

Dear anonymous, Thankyou for that contribution. I do concurr with you as regards the methodology. I happened to have participated in an nutritional anthropometric assess of informal settlements (urban slums) in Kampala, Uganda. Our success largely depended on obtaining as much information as possible regarding areas of study and corroborating this information as much as possible using secondary national data!! Two classic examples; i) We could not ascertain the actual populations within the areas selected but with the help of the Local area concillors, we were able to get some estimates to use cluster formation and sampling! ii) Even with our rough estimates, we noted that clusters were very large hence the need for secondary clustering!! iii) The structure of household arrangement was quite complicated but never the less, we were able to use a random selection method. In my view, the exisiting guidelines in ENA are just sufficient to conduct just about any kind of assessment. We for example ...

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the association between oral health and nutritional status in the context of daily care for older people. BACKGROUND: Oral problems often increase with age and affect a persons ability to chew and swallow. They might also influence the ability to maintain a satisfactory nutritional status. Oral health awareness is therefore of great importance in nursing care for older people. METHODS: Data from the Swedish quality register, Senior Alert, were used, including structured assessments of both oral and nutritional status using the Revised Oral Assessment Guide - Jönköping (ROAG-J) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA ...
INTRODUCTION:Diet is an important modifiable risk factor for many chronic diseases. Measurement of dietary intake usually relies on self-report, subject to multiple biases. There is a need to understand gender differences in the self-report of dietary intake and the implications of any differences in targeting nutrition interventions. Literature in this area is limited and it is currently unknown whether self-report dietary assessment methods are equally accurate for women and men. The aim of this systematic review is to determine whether there are differences by gender in reporting energy intake compared with a reference measure of total energy expenditure. METHODS AND ANALYSIS:A comprehensive search of published original research studies will be performed in MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane library. Original research studies will be included if they were conducted in free-living/unhospitalised adults and included a measure for both women and men of (a) self-reported energy
Parents are typically relied upon to report young children’s dietary intake. However, there has been limited research assessing the accuracy of such reports captured using novel dietary assessment tools. The purpose of the current study was to assess the validity of the web-based Automated Self-Administered 24-h Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24-Canada) for capturing dietary intake among children aged two-five years (n = 40), using parental proxy reporting. The study was conducted in a daycare setting, allowing for standardization of foods and drinks offered and direct observation of intake. Parental-reported intake was compared to true intake for lunch and dinner, as well as an afternoon snack, on a single day. Each eating occasion, including plate waste, was unobtrusively documented. Parents were not present for lunch or the afternoon snack, but joined their children at the daycare centre for the dinner meal. The following day, parents reported their children’s intake from the previous 24-h

The body mass index (BMI) is a tool used to assess overweight and obesity status. It is an estimate of body fat and can help assess your risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. BMI is calculated using a formula based on your height and weight. While BMI can be useful in nutrition assessment, it does have some limitations. BMI may overestimate body fat in athletes and others with increased muscle mass. In addition, BMI may underestimate body fat in older people who have lost muscle mass. You can calculate your own BMI using an online calculator such as the one found at:. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm. Compare your results to the BMI table below to determine your status.. ...

Recently I held a Biomedical Troubleshooting session at the Imagine! Colorado offices, sponsored by Autism Society of Boulder County. Both veteran and newbie parents showed up - parents who had done everything from heavy metals chelation and special diets, to nothing but behavioral interventions - but across the board, the same questions were asked: Which diet does my kid need for an autism diagnosis? What lab tests? Special food, weird meal routines, hours in the kitchen making bone broths and nut milks - is it worth it?. Well, there is no diet for autism. Every child with autism in my practice is unique. There are several nutrition and GI problems that come up often with an autism diagnosis, and these are treatable. I map those for families, using clinical standards for nutrition assessment as well as functional nutrition lab tests that look deeper for problems. Find the trouble, make a plan to fix it, and children feel, function, learn, grow and behave better. Nutrition perfectly supports ...
By Audrey Gurkin. Boone, NC - Carleigh Brough, nutrition and foods major with a concentration in dietetics, graduated this May on a Friday and moved to Florida to start her new job on the following Monday.

Spirometry is the single most important test for the evaluation of respiratory function. The results are interpreted by comparing measured data with predicted values previously obtained from a reference population. Reference equations for spirometry have been discussed previously. The aim of this study was to compare reference values based on National Health and Nutrition Assessment Survey (NHANES III), European Community of Steel and Coal (ECSC), and Global Lung Initiative (GLI) equations in an elderly sample population. Subjects from the Geriatric Study on Health Effects of Air Quality in elder care centres who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Spirometry was performed according to international guidelines. The forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and FEV1/FVC ratio were reported as percentages of the predicted value, and the lower limit of normality was calculated. Out of 260 elderly patients, 69.6% were women; the mean age was 83.0 ± 6.46 years with an age range of 65-95
From our first encounter, Mona already exuded competence and passion. We started with a nutrition assessment and had 2 personal training sessions per week. Mona pinpointed that despite my wife eating salads and greens, she did not consume enough macros which is why she would have bad food cravings plus selective hunger for ice cream during her monthlies. Long story short, thanks to Mona my wife and I are more knowledgable about our nutrition. My wife now would have a protein smoothie with collagen everyday and her food cravings have significantly decreased. During our personal training sessions, Mona was kind and gentle in her approach but also firm enough when we needed it. She reminded us to listen and to be kind to our bodies. She has an excellent ability to listen and meet you where you are but best of all, she is a remarkable teacher. I have never done a burpee before and Im not good with timing and coordination.

Summary In todays advanced technological world, we can track the exact movement of individuals, analyse their genetic makeup and predict predisposition to certain diseases. However, we are unable to accurately assess an individuals dietary intake. This is without a doubt one of the main stumbling blocks in assessing the link between diet and disease/health. The present proposal (A-DIET) will address this issue with the overarching objective to develop novel strategies for assessment of dietary intake. Using approaches to (1) identify biomarkers of specific foods (2) classify people into dietary patterns (nutritypes) and (3) develop a tool for integration of dietary and biomarker data, A-DIET has the potential to dramatically enhance our ability to accurately assess dietary intake. The ultimate output from A-DIET will be a dietary assessment tool which can be used to obtain an accurate assessment of dietary intake by combining dietary and biomarker data which in turn will allow investigations ...

Since the collapse of the Somali Central Government in 1991, the country has faced a series of disasters, both natural (floods and droughts) and man-made (poor governance, armed conflict, and collapse of institution/infrastructure). These have led to disruption of livelihood systems, poor provision of basic services and erosion/loss of social care network.. The Food and Agriculture Organisations (FAO) Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU) has been conducting nutrition assessments in Somalia for the last eight years. Together with past surveys conducted across South and Central Somalia since the1980s, these have consistently recorded high levels of acute malnutrition and under five mortality rates, even in years with improved food production. Median rates of global acute malnutrition in 2007, based on 36 surveys, were 15.2% global acute malnutrition (GAM) and 2.7% severe acute malnutrition (SAM), illustrating the severity of the crisis. Potential contributing factors1 include lack of safe water ...
30 December 2011: The Central Emergency Response Fund has allocated US$427,131 to the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) for the management of severe acute malnutrition in 25 vulnerable counties in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK).. CERF funds will be used to cover the supply needs for 3 months (January to March) for the management of acute malnutrition for severely acute malnourished children and other essential medicines. The rapid response grant will complement the funding already secured for DPRK through the CERF underfunded window in 2012 and ensure that UNICEF will be able to cover cases of acute malnutrition at the onset of 2012.. A food and nutrition assessment carried out by United Nations agencies in 2011 showed that 6,100,000 vulnerable people, including pregnant and lactating women, children under five years and children living in institutions, were particularly vulnerable to the foreseen interruption of food supply by the Public Distribution System, thus ...

Backgrounds: Malnutrition is associated with increased mortality risk in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure(ADHF). Nutritional status is assessed by several indices, such as Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. However, there is no information available on the comparison of prognostic significance of these indices in ADHF pts, relating to reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF).. Methods and Results: We studied 303 consecutive pts admitted for ADHF and discharged alive (HFrEF(LVEF,50%);n=163, HFpEF(LVEF≥50%);n=140). Nutritional status was evaluated at the discharge by GNRI calculated as follows: 14.89 • serum albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 • BMI/22, PNI calculated as follows: 10 • serum albumin (g/dl) + 0.005 • total lymphocyte count (/ml) and CONUT score calculated by serum albumin, total cholesterol levels and lymphocyte count.

Invariably, it is imperative that children, during their early years of life, get proper nutrition. During childhood, which is responsible for growth and development in life, the nutritional balance - the appropriate amount of substrate plays a major role in developing cognition and the immune response system, which in turn, instills long-term well-being. Additionally, these days, nutritional therapy is proved to play an important role in the treatment of children with many diseases including chronic illnesses, which require long-term nutrition support. Another important aspect covered in the online paediatric nutrition course is malnutrition and how it affects children faster than adults, and therefore, nutritional assessment should be an integral part of the care for every pediatric patient.. The study material in the online paediatric nutrition course is equivalent to that of fellowship in paediatric nutrition and also puts light in the routine screening measures for abnormalities of growth ...
Background: Diet is a modifiable behavior that influences an individuals health. Because of this, diet assessment is an important component of public health surveillance, evaluating response to community health interventions, and monitoring individual compliance to medical interventions. Diet assessments are usually performed using one of three basic methods: diet recall, diet diaries, or food frequency questionnaires. Although these three assessment instruments have displayed a strong agreement between themselves, when reported intake is compared with intake measured using quantitative nutrient biomarkers, investigators have identified systematic misreporting errors for all three of these self-reported dietary instruments.Aims: This work aims to summarize the state of knowledge regarding misreporting and why it impedes diet-health research and to introduce advances in the collection and the treatment of dietary data.Methods: This work reviews and summarizes published data on misreporting and the
