Q

menses, Tanner stages

A

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?

A
Biological changes of puberty:
-sexual maturation
-↑ in ht & wt
-accumulation of skeletal mass
-changes in body composition

Q

What factors influence energy & nutrient requirements of adolescents?

A

↑ 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

Q

What factors influence energy requirements of adolescents?

A
  1. Activity level
  2. BMR (basal meta rate)
  3. pubertal growth & dev
    - males have > ↑ in ht, wt, & LBM-> they have a ↑ caloric need than females
    - level of PA ↓ during adore = ↓ energy req

Q

What is the protein recommendation (g/d) for adolescents?

A
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

Q

Describe the importance of calcium during this phase and differences in calcium absorption/retention.

A

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

Q

Describe the importance of vitamin D during this phase and differences in calcium absorption/retention.

A
  • 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

Q

How iron deficiency differs from iron deficiency anemia?

A
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

Q

What factors are related to iron needs?

A

↑ iron needs related to:

  • rapid rate of linear growth
  • ↑ in blood vol
  • menarche in F

Iron needs greatest:

  • after menarche in F
  • during growth spurt in M

A
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 inexpensive hemoglobin/hematocrit levels
-indicates > advances stage of iron def

Q

What are the consequences of folate deficiency and severe folate deficiency?

A

Folate req for DNA, RNA, & protein synthesis
DRI 400mcg
Severe folate def -> megaloblastic anemia
-severe def is rare but inadequate folate status appears to be > common

  • ↑ incidence of birth defects (spina bifida)
  • if skip breakfast, no fortified foods = ↑ wish of folate def
20
Q

Discuss different approaches of dietary intake assessment

A
  1. AMA recomm all adoles receive annual health screening & guidance
    - wt, ht, & BMI
    - disordered eating tendencies
    - blood lipid levels
    - BO
    - iron status (demo&hema)
    - food security/insecurity-dietary intake/adequacy
  2. Nutriton screening should inc brief dietary assessment:
    - food frequency ?airres
    - 24hr recalls
    - food diaries / food records
21
Q

Describe strategies to improve nutrition counseling

A
  1. initital componensnt of session should involve:
    - getting to know adores, inc personal health or nutrition-relates concerns
    - providing overview of events & content of concealing session
  2. involve adole in decision-making process
  3. encourage to suggest ways to change
  4. work toward only 1-2 goals per session
22
Q

and messages to adolescents

A

Use tech to facilitate edu & counseling
-txt msgs
-podcasts
-YT, FB, Twitter
technology can serve to convey nutrition info in an engaging way
