Q

to prevent LEA, ensure adequate energy intake in relation to exercise needs….. how

A
  • regular meals, snacks and recovery options that are appropriate in energy and nutrients

53
Q

energy needs in adolescence is ……. in the lifecycle with the exception of

A

greatest in the lifecycle, with the exception of pregnancy and lactation

54
Q

what is important to know about optimal energy and nutrient intakes for adolescence

A

most are extrapolated from adult data = so it is important to take into account individual needs

55
Q

nutrient needs rise through childhood, then …

A

peak in adolescence and then level off or even diminish with adulthood

56
Q

it is difficult to determine optimal energy intake, it is influenced by

A

by BMR (basal metabolic rate) and PAL (physical activity level)

Q

prediction equations can be used to

A

estimate energy needs

58
Q

what is the recommendation for carbohydrates for adolescence

wholegrain breads and cereals
vegetables, legumes, whole fruit

59
Q

what is the recommendation for fat for adolescence

A

fat is 20-35% of total energy

<10% total energy from saturated fat and trans fat

focus on mono and polyunsaturated fats
vegetable oils, nuts, avocado

60
Q

what is the recommendation for protein for adolescence

protein is 15-25% of total energy

lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, milk products, legumes, tofu etc

61
Q

iron needs are greatest during

A

periods of rapid growth

62
Q

what are the periods where iron needs are highest

  • onset of menarche
63
Q

iron deficiency risk is higher in

  • young people with restricted diets
  • young women with high blood losses
  • pregnant teens
64
Q

recommendations for iron in adolescence is based on

A

dietary iron needed to maintain iron storage levels + support the growth and development needs of adolescence

sunlight

77
Q

there are what dietary sources of vitamin D and what does this mean

A

there are few dietary sources of vitamin D so adequate status is unlikely to be achieved through diet alone

78

fortification of foods with vitamin D is what in NZ

A

voluntary

79

A

26%

84
Q

an individual will draw on their what for their entire life

A

peak bone mass

85
Q

bone loss later in life occurs due to

A

menopause

86
Q

what happens to immobilised or non weight bearing individuals

A

rapidly lose bone mass
- importance of skeletal loading for bone health

87

A

adolescent who doesnt get their period

96
Q

what could functional hypothalamic amenorrhea be a result of
