CHAPTER IV-V KULANG Flashcards
INFLUENCING FACTORS
- Biological – age, gender, size, disease
- Lifestyle – physical activity, schedule, eating out, fast food intake, work, stress levels,
attitudes, beliefs, knowledge - Environmental – economic (home finances), food availability/access, social (peers,
parents, culture) - System – healthcare, education system, food supply (industry, agriculture,
institutions)
It is the first process of the Nutrition Care Process: Domains or Categories:
- Food/Nutrition Related History
- Anthropometric Measurements
- Biochemical data, Medical Tests or Procedures
- Nutrition Focused Physical Findings
- Client History
Food/Dietary history and intake data -
refers to the daily eating patterns of
an individual, including specific foods and calories consumed and relative
quantities.
24hour recall –
– the patient or individual is interviewed by the
dietician/nutritionist/nurse or completes a questionnaire recalling everything
eaten within the last 24 hours or the previous day.
FFQ – Food frequency questionnaire
is a questionnaire used to obtain
frequency and, in some cases, portion size information about food and beverage
consumption over a specified period of time, typically the past month or year.
Food Diary
- a detailed daily record of the food and drink one consumes over
a certain period of time, typically kept as a means of tracking calorie consumption
or identifying habitual eating patterns.
Nutrient Intake Analysis (NIA) or Observation of Food Intake
It is collected through direct observation or an
inventory of foods eaten based on observation of what remains on the individual’s
tray or plate after a mea
Anthropometric Measurements -
- are a series of quantitative measurements of the
muscle, bone, and adipose tissue used to assess the composition of the body.
The
core elements of anthropometry are
height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body
composition, body circumferences (waist, hip, and limbs (eg. Mid-arm circumference
or MAC), and skinfold thickness.
. Body Composition
- is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water
and muscle in human bodies
Body Circumference
- is the average of the sum of the eight circumferences
(neck, waist, hip, arm, forearm, wrist, thigh, and ankle)
Mid-arm Circumference (MAC) for adults female normal value __cm,
____for male
28.5
29.3
Fat-fold or Skin-fold Thickness
is assessing the skinfold thickness, using a
skinfold caliper so that a prediction of the total amount of body fat can be made.
There are recent ways of assessing body fat these are:
Bod Pod
3-D scanners
Hydrostatic weighing
- It predicts body fat with air rather than water|
-The method uses information about your body shape to
predict your body fat percentage.
- involves holding breath while
being completely submerged in water.
Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)
is a five-step screening tool to identify
adults, who are malnourished, at risk of malnutrition (undernutrition), or obese.
