Nutritional assessment using anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary methods with a larger understanding of anthropometric methods used in Ethiopia
Most of the foods we eat, provide several nutrients. So to make a wiser diet plan, it is prudent to select a combination of foods that deliver a full contingent of nutrients for good health. Our major focus should be on selecting foods that will deliver all the essential nutrients without excessive energy intake. Food choices made over years influence the body’s health, and consistently poor choices increase the risks of developing chronic diseases.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Energy
Traditional Unit = Kilocalorie (Kcal / Cal)
“amount of heat necessary to raise the
temperature of 1 kg of water by 100 C
from 14.50 C to 15.50 C ”.
1 Calorie = 4.184 Joules
A thermochemical kilocalorie ( kilocalorie or Calorie) = 103 calories
3. Nutrition
• The process by which the
organism utilizes food.
• It signifies the dynamic process in
which the food that is consumed is
utilized for nourishing the body.
• Food – Supplies energy for physical
activity and metabolic needs
• Nutrients – for maintaining growth
and repair or worn out / ageing
tissues
5. Energy Requirements
• Adult sedentary male = 2400 Cal termed
1 unit. = requirement of adolescent boy
• Adolescent girl = 2100 Cal
• Pregnant women
– Additional 150 Cal in 1st trimester
– 350 Cal in 2nd and 3rd trimester
• Lactating mothers
– Additional 500 Cal
6. Caloric requirement in children
1 – 10 kg : 100 kcal / kg / day
11 – 20 kg : 1000 + 50 kcal / kg / day
20 kg : 1500 + 20 kcal / kg / day
Simple formula –
Till one year 1000 kcal,
Add 100 kcal for every year from then.
--------------------------------------------------------
• Carbohydrates 55% - 60% of calories
Protein 10% - 15% ”
• Fat 30% - 35% ”
7. WHAT ARE DIETARY REFERENCE
INTAKES?
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), include the
• Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA),
• Adequate Intake (AI),
• Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), and
• Estimated Average Requirement (EAR).
9. Carbohydrates
• Starches, sugars, milk, cereals,
roots, tubers, etc.
– Monosaccharides – glucose
– Disaccharides – sucrose
– Polysaccharides – glycogen
Maltodextrins : mol. wt. = 5 times
that of glucose and hence reduce
osmolality by 5 times
10. Carbohydrates
• Provide energy, taste, preserve
foods
• Glucose
–Fuel for brain and muscle
–Converted to glycogen,
stored in liver and muscles
• 55 – 60% of total calories
12. Cereals
• Rice, wheat, maize, etc.
• Lack in lysine (limiting aminoacid)
• Parboiling : for retention of vitamins,
increases shelf life and ability to resist
insects.
• Flavour due to parboiling can be
reduced by sodium chromate.
• Do not contain Vitamin A and C (except
yellow maize- which contains beta carotene)
13. Cereals
• Contain 7-11g % of protein and
2 - 5 % fat
• Wheat, ragi, oats and barley
contain gluten
• Gliadin in gluten can cause
coeliac sprue
14. Fiber
• The Complex carbohydrates that are
not digested by the human enzymes are
collectively referred to as dietary fiber.
• These include cellulose, hemicullulose,
pectin, lignin, gums and mucilage.
• Some of the fibers are digestible by the
enzymes of intestinal bacteria.
Eg: Pectins, gums.
15. Fiber
• Increase bulk of food and prevent
constipation and colon cancers
• Swell and hold lot of water and increase GI
transit time
• Bind bile salts and decrease absorption of
cholesterol
• Pectin and gums reduce blood sugar
– Fenugreek (methi / ulava) contains 40% of
gum
• Very high fiber content may bind trace
elements
Suggested intake = 20 – 40 g / d or 200 mg / kg / day
18. Types of fat
Visible
Fats that are
used as such at
the table or in
cooking
Eg: Veg. oils,
vanaspathi,
ghee, butter
etc.
Fats
Invisible
Fats that are
present as and
integral
components of
different foods
Eg. : Cereals,
animal foods
19. Triglycerides
• Most abundant
• Constitute 95% of food lipids and
99% of stored lipids in body
• Esters of 3 molecules of FA’s
attached to glycerol
• Fatty acids
– differ in length of c-chain and
– degree of un-saturation.
20. Fatty Acids - Types
• Saturated: Lauric acid (C12), Myristic acid (C14),
Palmitic acid (C16) and Stearic acid (C18)
– Animal fats
– Short and medium chained saturated FAs are easily
absorbed
– Excess of MCTs can be atherogenic
• Monounsaturated fats:
– Oils from palm, seseme, groundnut, cotton seed,
olive.
• Poly unsaturated (PUFA)s

1. Remain solid at room
temp.
1. Liquid at room temp.
2. Primarily derived from
animal sources.
2. Obtained from vegetable,
nut or seed sources
3. Can be synthesized in the
body from acetate residues
following catabolism of
carbohydrates and protein.
3. Converted to solid fats by
saturation

• Linoleic acid (C18:2/n-6/PUFA) and
a Linolenic acid (C18:3/n-3/PUFA) –
• Omega 6 to Omega 3 (n6 : n3) ratio of 5:1
is desirable
23. Long Chain Fatty Acids
EFAs are converted to LCFAs by a series of
chemical reactions called elongation and
desaturation.
• LCPs from n-6 series derived from linoleic acid
are
– arachidonic acid (ARA) and
– adrenic acid (ADA).
• LCPs from n-3 series derived from alpha linoleic
acid are

– deicosa hexanoic acid (DHA).
24. Dietary sources of omega acids
Linoleic acid Vegetable oil
Linolenic acid Leafy vegetables &
vegetable oils
Arachadonic acid Meat
EPA & DHA Fish & sea food
26. Essential Fatty Acids - Ratio
• High Omega 6 and low omega 3 ratio as
in ground nut, sunflower, safflower oils
(56:1) can predispose to
– free radical injury,
– angiotoxicity,
– impaired immune function,
– reduced glucose tolerance,
– increased platelet aggregation and
– albuminuria
27. Lecithin
• Most abundant phospholipid
• Major constituent of cell membrane
• Phospholipid acts as emulsifier
• Can be synthesized from diet by
liver
28. Cholesterol
• Essential for good health
• Forms nearly 0.2 % of body weight
• It has no calorific value
• Important constituent of cell membrane
• Transformed into related compounds like bile,
hormones and vitamin D
• Sources:
– Endogenous : Synthesized in liver from 2 C
fragments like acetate, acetic acid, acetyl CoA, etc.
– Exogenous : Derived from food
29. Cholesterol
• Hypercholesterolemia – esp. LDL
predisposes to coronary heart disease
• Heredity, smoking, sedentary habit,
emotional stress, hormonal imbalance,
diet, diabetes etc. predispose to
hypercholesterolemia Can be
synthesized from diet by liver from
CHOs, fats and proteins
• Excess cholesterol is stored and may
lead to atherosclerosis
30. Fat intake
• 30% of daily energy intake
• Saturated fats should not exceed 10% of
total fat intake
• Minimum of 3% energy should be derived
from linoleic and 0.3% from linolenic
acid.
• Cholesterol intake should be limited to
300 mg per day
31. Fat intake - Excess
• Obesity
• NIDDM
• Cancers
• Hypertension
• Atherosclerosis
Avoid
• Excess total fats,

• Cholesterol – in that priority
33. Proteins
• Protein = ‘of prime importance’
• Second most abundant substance in the body
next to water.
• Made up of aminoacids - Essential & non
essential
• Important components of body building and
tissue repair
• Form enzymes, hormones, antibodies
• Specific dynamic action (SDA) or Thermic
effect of food (TEF) for protein is 29% -
much higher than for CHOs and fats 5%
34. Proteins

35. Essential aminoacids
1. Valine
2. Leucine
3. Isoleucine
4. Lysine
5. Tryptophan
6. Methionine
7. Threonine and
8. Phenylalanine
– Histidine is essential for infants
– Arginine, taurine and cysteine – for LBWs
AV HILL MPTT
36. Aminoacids
1. Glycine is the simplest amino acid
2. Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine are branched
chain amino acids
3. Glutamine is present in large amount in
plasma – called ‘anti-stress nutrient’ as it is
precursor of neuroregulator GABA.
4. Tryptophan gets converted to serotonin
called as ‘nature’s sleeping pill’ and is it is
a precursor of Niacine (B3) it is called
‘Provitamin B3’
(60 mg of tryptophan = 1 mg of niacin.
39. Protein - Quality
• Complete protein – is one whose
amino acid composition is close
to that of tissue protein
–Breast milk and egg protein
Egg : ‘Reference protein”
40. Protein Requirements
0-1 mo 2.40 g/kg/d
1-2 mo 1.91 g/kg/d
2-3 mo 1.71 g/kg/d

1-4 yrs 1.2 g/kg/d
5-15 yrs 0.9 g/kg/d
1971 FAO Committee
41.
42. Chemical Score of a food item
• Percentage of the limiting amino aid in
the food compared to the level of same
amino acid in reference protein
– Eg. Lysine is the limiting amino acid in
cereals where methionine is the limiting
amino acid in legumes (pulses)
In growing children at least 10 – 15 % of calories
should come from proteins
43. Digestibility coefficient (DC)
• Amount of absorbed nitrogen
compared to the total nitrogen
present in the food item.
Cooking improves digestibility.
DC =
Food nitrogen
Absorbed nitrogen
x 100
44. Biological Value
The Biological Value (BV) of a
Protein is a value that measures
how well the body can absorb
and utilize a protein.
Biological value is determined based
on this formula
BV = ( N retained / N absorbed) * 100
46. Net Protein Utilization
Amount of retained nitrogen com-
pared to the nitrogen present in the
food item.
NPU =
Food nitrogen
Retained nitrogen
x 100
47. Net Protein Utilization
The net protein utilization affected by the
salvage of essential amino acids within the
body & by the level of limiting amino acids
within a foodstuff.
Certain foodstuffs,
such as eggs or milk rate as 1 on a NPU chart.
As a value, NPU can range from 1 to 0
• a value of 1 : 100% utilization of dietary nitrogen as protein
and
• a value of 0 : none of the nitrogen supplied was converted to
protein.
48. Protein Efficiency Ratio
Protein efficiency ratio (PER) is gain in weight
gain of a test subject per unit weight of
particular food protein consumed.
From 1919 until very recently, the PER had
been a widely used method for evaluating the
quality of protein in food.
The PER is probably not the best rating system because it
overestimates methionine needs due to the greater need for
methionine in rats for hair production, but whatever.
49. Protein digestibility-corrected amino
acid score (PDCAAS)
A method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on
both the amino acid requirements of humans and their
ability to digest
The PDCAAS rating was adopted by the US FDA and the
FAO/WHO in 1993 as "the preferred 'best'" method to
determine protein quality.
PDCAAS =
mg of same amino acid in 1 g of reference protein
mg of limiting amino acid in 1 g of test protein
x fecal true digestibility
percentage
PDCAAS is based on human amino acid requirements, which makes it
more appropriate for humans than a method based on the amino acid
needs of animals.
50. Protein digestibility-corrected amino
acid score (PDCAAS)
A PDCAAS value of 1 is the highest, and 0 the lowest. The table shows the
ratings of selected foods.
1 Cow’s milk
1 Eggs
1 Milk protein - Casein
1 Soy protein
1 Milk protein - Whey
0.99 Beef
0.73 Vegetables
0.70 Peas and legumes
0.64 Fresh fruits
0.59 Cereals
0.52 Peanut
By combining different foods it is
possible to maximize the score,
because the different components
favor each othe
1 Rice and peas
1 Grains and legumes

51. Pulses (Legumes)
• Rich in protein (22 g%)
• Lack vitamins A and C
• Germinated legumes contain Vitamin C
• Oligosaccharides in pulses cause
flatulence
• Methionine is the limiting amino acid in
pulses
• Cereal pulse combination causes
