How we use our energy?
Digesting Food=
Physical Activity=
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)=
Digesting Food= 5-10%
Physical Activity=25-35%
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)= 55-65%
a condition due to lack of food, or excess food, or wrong type of food, or inability to use nutrients properly to maintain health
Malnutrition “bad nourishment”
the cellular imbalance between supply of nutrients & energy and the body’s demand for them to ensure growth, maintenance and specific functions.
WHO defines malnutrition
The WHO cites malnutrition as the greatest single threat to the world’s public health with:??
↑ risk of disease & early death.
lack of one or more nutrients
undernutrition
(excess of one or more nutrients)
overnutrition
Classification of malnutrition
كم عددهم ومين هم
1-Type of deficient nutrients
2-Degree
3-Cause
4-Rapidity of onset and duration
5-Timing of onset / age group affected
**Classification of malnutrition
Type of deficient nutrients
–Macronutrient (‘Protein-Energy’) vs Micronutrient
**Classification of malnutrition
Degree
–Mild/Moderate/Severe
How far anthropometric measures deviate from normal
**Classification of malnutrition
Cause
–Primary (no underlying disease /inadequate food intake)
–Secondary (due to underlying disease)
**Classification of malnutrition
Rapidity of onset and duration
سرعة البدء والمدة
– Acute (wasting +/– oedema)
– Chronic (stunting)
**Classification of malnutrition
Timing of onset / age group affected
– In-utero
– Childhood
– Adult (life-long)
**Recognizing Malnutrition in Mothers and Babies
Mothers: ??
• Low BMI < 18.5 kg/m2
•Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) < 20 cm
• Short height < 145 cm
• Chronic undernutrition
**Recognizing Malnutrition in Mothers and Babies
Babies ??
LBW < 2.5 kg
Preterm + SGA
IUGR + others
is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed
Preterm
…………….may be proportionately small (equally small all over) or they may be of normal length and size but have lower weight and body mass.a
SGA babies
…….stands for intrauterine growth retardation. This means that your baby is growing slowly and doesn’t weigh as much as your doctor expected for this stage of pregnancy.
IUGR
is a severe form of acute malnutrition. It is characterized by clinical signs including oedema (swelling due to water retention) beginning in the lower legs and feet and which can spread to other parts of the body. Other signs include cracked and peeling skin, changes in hair colour (lightening) and texture, lethargy and misery.
Kwashiorkor
is a severe form of acute malnutrition. individuals have the clinical signs of extreme thinness, often with flaccid skin, hanging in loose folds to give an ‘old man’s appearance’. individuals may be alert but irritable.
