Question 3

ABCD nutrition assignment

Answer 3

Anthropometry
Biochemical
Clinical
Dietary

Question 4

Anthropometry

Answer 4

Measurement of the physical damages and gross composition of the body
measures vary with age and degree of nutritional status
particularly useful in circumstances where clinic in balances in protein and energy exist
often a time delay between poor intake losses and changes in anthropometric measures
ISAK accreditation- recommended of performing routine body composition analysis

Answer 6

Weight - weight underwater

Question 7

Density

Answer 7

Weight / volume

Question 8

Biochemical

Answer 8

Assess several stages of deficiency + used as an assessment tool for doping

• as a result of depletion in tissue stores, measurable reductions may occur in levels of nutrients or metabolites and activity of certain enzymes
• these depletion’s Can be measured by biichemical test or by test that measures physiological or behavioural functions dependant on specific nutrients eg: dark adaptation, taste acuity
• not suitable for field surveys because they are too invasive and require specialised equipment
• most reliable blood tests for nutrient status - iron and vit D

Question 9

Clinical

Answer 9

Includes medical history and physical examination to detect signs observations made by a qualified examiner and symptoms manifestations reported by the patient associated with nutrition

Signs and symptoms are often non- specify and often only present in the advanced stages of malnutrition

Not common

Question 10

Dietary

Answer 10

• assess primary stage of deficiency
• dietary intake of one or more nutrients may be inadequate due to
  Primary deficiency- low level in diet. Or
  Secondary deficiency- conditioning factors such as drug- nutritient interactions, anti-nutrients, disease states etc, that interfere with ingestion, digestion, absorption or utilisation
