Pediatric Nutrition & Breast feeding Flashcards
the period where growth stunting-impaired linear growth is a major risk
between 4 mos to 2 years
amount of the nutrient that results in some predetermined physiologic end-point
EAR (Estimated Average Requirement)
the intake deemed necessary to meet the requirement for that nutrient by most healthy members of a population
RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance)
Adequacy, Inadequacy and excess of an individual subject’s intake of a specific nutrient can be determined using RDA. T/F
False
the observed or approximated daily intake of that nutrient by a group of healthy individuals
Adequate Intake
is the highest daily intake of a specific nutrient that is likely to pose no risk
Tolerable Upper intake Level (UL)
is the dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy individual of a defined age, sex, weight height and physical activity
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)
the average time required for children >2yrs old of moderately intense daily activity to maintain a healthy weight and prevent chronic diseases
~60 Minutes
how many calories does Fat provide
9 kcal/gram
what is the AI/RDA set for saturated and monounsaturated fat
NONE
Fat intake should be absent of?
trans fat
immune function and cellular membrane integrity are impaired and may lead to impaired linear growth
PEM (Protein Energy Malabsorption)
are amino acids which are essential only at certain life stages
Conditional Essential/ Indispensable Amino Acids
serve as energy source for all cells
Carbohydrates
promotes satiety and decreases transit time which can have importance in prevention of cancer
Non digestible fiber
What are the micronutrients from DOH food fortification program
Fe, Zn, Ca, Na, K, Vit. D
age of infant where Fe and Zn are required from complementary food/fortified food
After 4-6 mos of age
Inadequate Water intake leads to?
Dehydration
Impaired thermoregulation
Decreased activity tolerance
Dec intravascular fluid
RENI of Macronutrients
CHO: 55-70%
Fats: 20-30% (others); 30-40% (infants)
CHON: 10-15%
refers to the state of nutrient intake that is sufficient to maintain health and provide reasonable levels of reserves in the body
Nutrient Adequacy
chart used for growth measurements
a) for normal children
b) for sick children
a) WHO-CGS
b) CDC
