Adolescent Nutrition Ch 14 Flashcards
menses, Tanner stages
Sexual Maturation Rating (SMR) = Tanner Stages: scale of 2ndary sexual characterisitcs used to assess the dgree of pubertal maturation
-SMR 1: prepuburtal groth&dev
-SMR 2-5: occurrences of puberty
SMR 5: sexual maturation has conclusded
How biological age differs from chronological age?
Biological changes of puberty: -sexual maturation -↑ in ht & wt -accumulation of skeletal mass -changes in body composition Chronological age: how old
Describe biological changes during puberty
- sexual maturation
- inc in ht & wt
- accumulation of skeletal mass
- changes in body composition
Menarche
MENARCHE: onset of 1st menstrual period
Discuss factors affecting eating behavior during adolescence
Peer influence parental modeling food availability, preferences, cost, convenience personal & cultural beliefs mass media body image
conceptual model for factors affecting eating behavior during adolescence
MACROSYSTEMS
environmental & personals
1. microenvironmental & immediate social environment
2. cognitive-affective & behavioral & biologic
-Lifestyles -> indie food behavior

What factors influence energy & nutrient requirements of adolescents?
↑ in lean body mass, skeletal mass, & body fat
- energy & nutrient are ↑
- DRIs provide the best est. of nutrient req for adolescents
- profesh judgment needs to be uses
- nutrient requiem based on chronological rather than bio dev
What factors influence energy requirements of adolescents?
- Activity level
- BMR (basal meta rate)
- pubertal growth & dev
- males have > ↑ in ht, wt, & LBM-> they have a ↑ caloric need than females
- level of PA ↓ during adore = ↓ energy req

What are the % range recommendations for macronutrients intake (AMDR)?
Carbs: 45-65% cals
Fat: 25-35%;
What is the protein recommendation (g/d) for adolescents?
Protein req influences by protein needed: -to maintain existing LBM -for growth of new LBM *recomm in 0.85g/kg body wt low protein intakes linked to: -↓ in linear growth -delays in sexual maturation -↓ LBM
Describe the importance of calcium during this phase and differences in calcium absorption/retention.
Adequate intake of Ca is essential to ensure peak bone mass
Ca absorption is ↑est around:
-menarche in F
-early adore in M
-~4x > Ca retained during adore compared to early adulthood
-
Adole who do NOT inc dairy should consume Ca-fortified foods
Sodas displace nutrient-dense drinks (milk & fortified juices)
-DRI (ages 9-18) is 1300 mg/d
Avg intake:
-948 mg F
-1260 mg M
Wt-bearing activities may lead in ↑ bone mineral density
Describe the importance of vitamin D during this phase and differences in calcium absorption/retention.
- Essential role in facilitation intestinal absorption of Ca & P
- Essenial for bone formation
- Synthesized by the body via sun exposure of UV B rays of sunlight
- Nothern latitudes may req supp
- RDA: 600IU/day
How iron deficiency differs from iron deficiency anemia?
IRON DEF: -determined by low serum iron, plasma ferritin, & tranferrin saturation -iron def more frequent -often undiagnosed bc of expense IRON-DEF ANEMIA: -determines by simple and inexpensicve hemoglobin/hematocrit levels -indicates > advances stage of iron def -
