Nutrition Flashcards
Before 12 months nutrition (3)
- In first 6 months of life, bottle should begin to be weaned
- Needs to be a set time every day in which the child gets fed
- Introduce a food 10 times before deciding that the child doesn’t like it
12-18 Months Nutrition (3)
INDEPENDENCE
- Stop bottle
- Practice eating from a spoon
- 1 year olds don’t eat much and mother’s will be concerned about this; during second year of life you gain less weight so you eat less as well; will be OK if they eat 2 meals a day and don’t make portions too large (guidance for parents)
18-2 Years Nutrition (3)
- Growth slows
- Not as interested in eating.
- Encourage self-feeding with utensils.
2-3 Year Old Nutrition (8)
- At 2, autonomy comes in and child will say exactly what they want and when they want it
- Intake varies
- Will be independent and want to exert control
- Extensive guidelines on hyperlipidemia
- After 2 years old is to switch to non-fat or 1% milk
- Limit snacking if the child is sedentary
- Limit screen time of TV to 1-2 hours for children over 2 and no screen time under 2 years old
- Look at self-regulation; if child says they aren’t hungry then they aren’t hungry

Obesity is a disease when…(5)
- The patient has an abnormal increase in body fat as assessed by a reliable measure
- Increased body fat is caused by genetic or developmental errors, infections, hypothalamic injury adverse reactions to medications, nutritional imbalance, and/or unfavorable environmental factors
- Multiple pathogenic adipocyte and/or adipose tissue endocrine and immune dysfunctions contribute to metabolic disease (adiposopathy or “sick fat” disease)
- Multiple pathogenic physical forces from excessive body fat cause damage to other body tissues (fat mass disease)
- The adverse health consequences of increased body fat are not simply “co-morbidities” or “associated risk factors”
Differential Dx for obesity with Linear Growth in Pre-Pubertal or Pubertal Children is consistent or Accelerated Growth (2)
- Considered exogenous obesity- Nutritional origin
- Considered precocious puberty if -Secondary sexual development at <8 years old in girls (breast development) and <9 year old in boys (enlarged testicles)
* Consider bone age
Differential dx for obesity if there is decreased linear growth (3)
- Consider endocrinopathy
- Test for TSH, free T4, dexamethasone suppression,
- 24-hour urinary free cortisol if indicated
Differential dx for obesity if there are developmental delays
Suspect Syndromal Obesity
- Can be associated with decreased linear growth
- Evaluation dependent on presentation and family history
- Refer to genetics
Common physical findings with obesity (4)
- Acanthosis Nigricans; a skin condition characterized by dark, velvety patches in body folds and creases.
- Gynecomastia
- Abdominal striae
- Hirsutism
Common physical and radiological findings with obesity (3)
- Tonsillar hypertrophy
- Steatosis and Increased Abdominal Visceral Fat
* Steatosis: fatty liver disease - Blount’s Disease; Abnormal growth of plate of the tibia; tibia grows outward and causes bowwed leg
