NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT Flashcards
is the degree to which the individual’s physiological need for nutrients is being met by the food the person eats. It is the state of balance in the individual between the nutrient intake and the nutrient need or expenditure. (Caudal, 2019).
Nutritional Status or Nutriture
Nutritional Status is also known as
Nutriture
A process of determining an individual NUTRITIONAL STATUS and the nutritional deficiencies affecting health and wellness.
NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT
Nutritional Status evaluation includes the examination of the
person’s physical condition,
behavior,
growth and development and
the quality and quantity of the person’s diet.
METHODS OF NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT
A - ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
B - BIOCHEMICAL TEST
C - CLINICAL EXAMINATION
D- DIETARY ASSESSMENT
Determination of height, weight and body composition measurements
ATHROPOMETRIC DATA
Anthropometric Measurements
Height
Weight
Head circumference (children)
Upper arm measurement
Skinfold
HOW TO MEASURE WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
smallest area below the ribcage and above the umbilicus
waits circumference measurement for men that has a risk factor for disease
> 40 for men
waits circumference measurement for women that has a risk factor for disease
> 35
measures SUBCUTANEOUS FAT storages and is an index of TOTAL BODY FATS.
SKIN FOLD THICKNESS
what tool is sed for measuring skin fold thickness
CALIPERS
normal measurement of skin fold thickness for men
11.3mm
normal measurement of skin fold thickness for women
14.9mm
measures MUSCLE MASS and subcutaneous fat
MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MUAC)
measure INDEX OF MUSCLE MASS and indicates SOMATIC PROTEIN STORES
MID ARM AND MUSCLE CIRCUMFERENCE (MAMC)
what measurement both measures caloric status or energy reserves
MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MUAC) and MID ARM AND MUSCLE CIRCUMFERENCE (MAMC)
ideal body weight
DESIRABLE BODY WEIGHT
health weight
DESIRABLE BODY WEIGHT (DBW)
indicates a person’s body composition has a GOOD BALANCE of lean body mass and fat tissue
DBW
used in ASSESSING NUTRITIONAL STTAUS especially in detecting protein-energy malnutrition
DBW
how to compute for DBW
- convert height into centimeters
- minus 100
- minus 10% for Filipino
is the measure of BODY FAT BASED ON HEIGHT AND WEIGHT that applies to both adult men and women
BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
TRUE OR FALSE:
BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass
TRUE
FORMULA FOR BMI
actual body weight (kg) / height (m2)
*note: bawal iround off ang answer
*if hindi meters ang given, edi converts to meters.
ft x 12 = ans + in = ans x 2.54 = ans ÷ 100 = ans (round off)
BMI: UNDERWEIGHT
BELOW 18.5
BMI: NORMAL RANGE
18.5 - 22.9
BMI: AT RISK/OVERWEIGHT
23 - 24.9
BMI: OBESE I
25 - 29.9
BMI: OBESE II
ABOVE 30
comes from oxidation of food
ENERGY
for muscular and metabolic activities of the body which requires energy
TOTAL ENERGY REQUIREMENT
TER is measured in
KILOCALORIES / KILOJOULES
TER is rounded off to the
nearest 50
FORMULA FOR TER
DBW x PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
*note: rounded off to the nearest 50
PA: BED REST
27.5
PA: SEDENTARY (bank tellers, basta mga naka upo at wla masyado gnagawa)
30
PA: LIGHT (students)
35
PA: MODERATE
40
PA: VERY ACTIVE (construction workers)
45
DIET PRESCRIPTION FORMULA
TER x % = ans kcal ÷ kcal ng kung ano hinahanap = ans
DIET PRESCRIPTION FORMULA
TER x % = ans kcal ÷ kcal ng kung ano hinahanap = ans
*note: rounded off to the nearest 5 eg. 50, 55, 60)
*note: kapag 3 at 8 tumataas
PTOEIN DEFICIENCY due to liver and renal diseases, burn, malnutrition etc.

VITS A
what is used in INFANT MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHT
PAN TYPE PEDIATRIC BEAM or PEDIATRIC SCALE
a LINEAR MEASUREMENT, REFLECTS SKELETAL GROWTH
HEIGHT
indicators of GENERAL BODY SIE and BONE LENGHT
HEIGHT
what is used in measuring the height for infants
INFANTOMETER
what is used in measuring the height for infants
INFANTOMETER
what is used in measuring the height for children & adults
STADIOMETER
measurement of various BODY COMPARTMENTS which can be useful to ESTIMATE HEIGHT of persons WITH SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
SEGMENT LENGTH
used as an INDEX OF CHRONIC PROTEIN-ENERGY NUTRITION STATUS during the FIRST TWO YEARS OF LIFE
HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
chronic malnutrition during the first few months of life may decrease the number of brain cells and result in ______
ABNORMALLY LOW HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
simplest and most common indicator for both acute and chronic malnutrition
WEIGHT FOR AGE
more sensitive index of current nutritional status and can differentiate between stunting and wasting
WEIGHT FOR HEIGHT
index of STUNTING of a child’s full growth potential
HEIGHT FOR AGE
are used in clinical setting to identify HOSPITAL PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC MALNUTRITION and to monitor long-term changes in body composition during nutritional support
INDICES OF BODY COMPOSITION
provides an estimate of the size of subcutaneous fat depot, providing an estimate of total body fat
SKIN FOLD THICKNESS MEASUREMENT
what is used in skinfold thickness measurement
precision caliper
- it evaluate FAT STORES
- it measures the arm, muscle mass, subcutaneous fat and bone
- it estimates wasting of an individual
MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE MUAC
indicator of fat distribution and abdominal fat
- associates with a high risk of central obesity-related health problems
WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
- abdominal ratio
- to measure body fat distribution and ADIPOSITY
