This chapter discusses nutrition for adults and older adults. It covers how good nutrition and physical activity can promote health and longevity. Key factors for healthy aging include getting adequate sleep, eating a balanced diet including breakfast, engaging in regular physical activity, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. The chapter also examines common health issues in older adults like arthritis and vision problems and how nutrition can help address these conditions. It provides information on meeting nutrient needs and discusses programs to address hunger and food insecurity.
This chapter discusses the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. It provides information on their roles in the body, deficiency symptoms, toxicity, recommendations and major food sources. Vitamin A supports vision, cell growth and reproduction. Vitamin D aids in bone growth and calcium absorption. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and vitamin K is essential for blood clotting. Deficiencies can cause night blindness, rickets, hemorrhaging or other symptoms. Toxicity from high supplement doses may also occur.
The document discusses carbohydrates, including their chemical structure and classification. It covers the simple carbohydrates of monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, and galactose, and disaccharides like maltose, sucrose, and lactose. Complex carbohydrates of glycogen, starches, and dietary fibers are also examined. The digestion and absorption of carbohydrates is summarized along with glucose regulation in the body and related conditions like diabetes. Health effects and recommendations for intakes of sugars, starches, and fibers are presented.
Trace minerals are needed in small amounts and perform many essential functions, but toxic levels can easily be reached with supplements. Humans can meet their trace mineral needs through a variety of whole, unprocessed foods. Two important trace minerals are iron and zinc. Iron deficiency is very common and affects people of all ages, especially women and children. While zinc deficiency is less widespread, it can occur in vulnerable groups. Both minerals are involved in many metabolic processes and maintaining proper levels is important for health.
This document discusses weight management and provides information on overweight, obesity, and underweight. It covers topics such as the definition of overweight and obesity according to BMI, causes of obesity including genetics and environment, health risks of obesity like heart disease and diabetes, and strategies for weight loss and maintenance through nutrition and physical activity. Fad diets are also discussed as ineffective options for long-term weight management.
The document discusses nutrition needs and considerations during pregnancy and lactation. It covers nutrition prior to pregnancy to establish a healthy baseline. During pregnancy, critical periods of fetal development depend on adequate nutrition. Nutrient needs increase in pregnancy for both mother and fetus. Common concerns like nausea and heartburn are addressed. High-risk pregnancies threaten both mother and baby and require special nutrition and medical care. Food assistance programs help support nutrition in pregnancy.

Lecture 11 nutrients involved in bone healthwajihahwafa
This document summarizes key nutrients involved in bone health and osteoporosis. It describes how calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, phosphorus, magnesium and fluoride support bone development and maintenance. It explains bone remodeling and how nutrients like calcium and vitamin D regulate this process. The document also discusses osteoporosis risk factors like age, gender and nutrition, and ways to reduce osteoporosis risk through diet and exercise.
This document discusses malnutrition, including definitions, classifications, indicators, and causes. It focuses on protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. For protein-energy malnutrition, it describes kwashiorkor (caused by insufficient protein intake despite adequate calories) and marasmus (caused by overall lack of calories). It outlines various micronutrient deficiencies and their oral manifestations. The document also examines malnutrition in India and programs established to address it, such as midday meal schemes in schools, the Integrated Child Development Services program, and the Applied Nutrition Programme.
This document provides an overview of calcium, including:
- Where calcium is stored in the body (mainly in bones)
- How calcium is absorbed from the diet and regulated in the body by hormones like PTH and vitamin D metabolites
- How calcium is reabsorbed and excreted by the kidneys, with most reabsorption occurring in the proximal tubule under control of PTH and vitamin D
- The primary forms of calcium supplements and factors affecting their absorption
This document discusses nutrient needs for both sedentary and very active people. For sedentary individuals, nutrient requirements are only slightly adjusted. However, very active people have higher energy needs due to increased muscle mass and physical activity levels. While protein, water, and electrolyte needs may increase for very active individuals, most vitamin and mineral requirements do not change. The document provides advice on meeting nutrient needs through food and beverages rather than dietary supplements, and emphasizes consulting reliable sources for nutrition guidance tailored to activity levels.
Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are essential for human growth, health and development. Certain vitamins like A, D, C, B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc must be obtained through diet as humans cannot synthesize them in sufficient amounts. Deficiencies of these micronutrients can lead to various health conditions. For example, vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia and increases risk of infections; iron deficiency leads to anemia; and zinc deficiency is associated with skin lesions and impaired immunity. Diagnosis of deficiencies is based on clinical signs and symptoms as well as laboratory investigations. Treatment involves dietary modifications and supplementation to correct the deficiencies.

- Mild/moderate malnutrition, specifically stunting, affects hundreds of millions of children worldwide.
This document discusses issues in nutrition for frail elderly individuals. It provides an overview of physiological changes associated with aging that affect nutritional status. Key points include increased risk of malnutrition and undernutrition due to changes in body composition, digestion, and sensory perception. The document reviews tools for screening and assessing nutritional status. It also discusses nutritional interventions for common geriatric problems like weight loss, sarcopenia, and pressure ulcers. Optimal nutrition is important for successful aging and quality of life.
This document discusses the importance of diet during pregnancy and for the elderly. For pregnancy, a healthy diet provides nutrients for proper fetal growth and development, and prevents issues like excess weight gain, nausea, and anemia in the mother. Key recommendations include consuming grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, oils, meat, and beans. Poor nutrition can increase risks like neural tube defects, iodine deficiency, fetal alcohol syndrome, and gestational diabetes. For the elderly, the document outlines a food pyramid and recommends foods to meet needs for proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Maintaining good nutrition reduces risks of malnutrition, deficiencies in vitamins D and B12, and obesity.
Major nutritional problems in India include protein-energy malnutrition, nutritional anemia, iodine deficiency disorder, and vitamin A deficiency. Child malnutrition is a serious issue, with 44% of Indian children under 5 being underweight, 72% of infants and 52% of married women anemic. Research shows malnutrition during pregnancy increases health risks for children and can cause physical and cognitive delays. Addressing malnutrition requires a balanced diet, ensuring full meals for all, and stopping food adulteration.
Adults generally need fewer calories as they age, with recommended daily calorie intake ranges being 1600-2400 calories for those aged 23-50, 1400-2200 calories for ages 51-75, and 1200-2000 calories for ages 75 and above. Nutrient needs also change with age due to factors like declining organ function and changes in metabolism. Common health conditions that affect adults include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and prostate cancer, with risk influenced by diet and lifestyle habits. Meeting nutrition needs becomes more challenging for older adults due to physical and social factors.
The document discusses nutritional needs, challenges, screening, and solutions for the elderly population. It describes how the elderly have different nutritional needs than other adults due to changes in physiology, metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Common nutritional challenges include reduced appetite and intake, vitamin deficiencies, and health issues like sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Nutritional screening and interventions are important to address nutritional deficiencies and support healthy aging. Solutions discussed include increased protein, vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium intake as well as diets low in sodium and high in fiber, fluids, and essential fatty acids.
Nutritional requirements of elderly & dietary managementsowmiya Gunasekaran
The nutritional needs of the elderly change as they age. Their energy requirements decrease due to lower metabolism and activity levels. They require less carbohydrates, proteins and fats but enough vitamins, minerals, fiber and fluids. Their diets should focus on antioxidant rich foods to support immunity and bone health while avoiding high salt, spice or gas-forming foods which are hard to digest. Ensuring proper nutrition through balanced meals helps promote healthy aging.
This document discusses various nutritional problems including undernutrition and overnutrition. It describes different types of undernutrition such as protein-energy malnutrition, low birth weight, vitamin A and iodine deficiencies. Protein-energy malnutrition can manifest as kwashiorkor or marasmus. Overnutrition issues like obesity, skeletal and dental fluorosis are also covered. The prevention and treatment of these various nutritional deficiencies and disorders are outlined.
Nutrition in older age. Adequate nutrition, especially in older age, aids in the maintenance of health and in decreasing the onset of chronic diseases, contributes to vitality in everyday activity, to energy and mood and helps in maintaining functional independence.
Undernutrition among children under 5 years old remains a major global public health problem. In India, approximately one third of children are underweight. The Integrated Child Development Services program aims to address undernutrition through nutrition supplementation, health services, and preschool education, though it has had limited effectiveness. Improving implementation by increasing focus on the first 1000 days of life, strengthening nutrition education, improving coordination between frontline workers, and enhancing community participation could help reduce undernutrition. Addressing its multidimensional causes requires commitment across health, nutrition, education, agriculture, and social welfare programs.

Guidelines for dietary counseling of denture patients focus on soft foods initially and maintaining a balanced diet. The conclusion stresses the importance of nutrition for health and tissues, and how nutrition can impact denture success.
Ageing is a gradual process that takes place over many decades. Most theories of ageing relate to impaired DNA replication and loss of cell viability and hence the viability of the body’s organs. Ageing is often accompanied by socioeconomic changes that can have a great impact on the nutritional needs and status of elderly individuals. The incidence of disability increases with ageing, with over a third of the elderly population limited by chronic conditions and unable to carry on normal daily living activity
This document discusses nutrition and its importance for the elderly. It notes that malnutrition is a significant risk for elderly individuals, especially those in long-term care facilities, where 50-70% leave 1/4 or more of their food uneaten. Inadequate nutrition can lead to weight loss, pressure ulcers, infections, functional and cognitive decline, and increased mortality. Proper nutrition is important for overall health, but the elderly have specific nutritional needs due to changes in metabolism and increased risk of conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. Factors like swallowing difficulties and dementia can also impact nutrition for elderly individuals.
Lecture 14 (Elderly in the Nutrition) .pptxLawrence301995
This document discusses nutrition for the elderly and reducing inflammation through diet. It provides 3 key points:
1) Nutrition plays a major role in protecting health and slowing disease progression for the elderly. Meeting their nutritional needs is challenging due to reduced intake, lack of variety, medications, and institutional food choices.
2) Chronic, low-grade inflammation increases with age and is related to increased mortality risk. Diet is a major cause of inflammation - sugars, processed foods, and red meat should be limited. Anti-inflammatory nutrients like omega-3s and vitamins C, D, and E help reduce inflammation.
3) Common age-related diseases like osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer

295_Healthy Ageing - the Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle - powerpoint present...milind908672
The document discusses healthy aging and the role of nutrition and lifestyle. It notes that while life expectancy has increased, quality of life has not kept pace. As people are living longer, there are more individuals over age 60 than under 16 for the first time. Maintaining good nutrition and physical activity can help promote healthy aging by reducing risks of chronic diseases and disabilities. The document provides tips on nutrition, lifestyle factors and maintaining good health during aging.
This chapter discusses nutrition and aging. Key points include:
- As people age, their nutritional needs change due to physiological changes in the body. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can help promote health and slow the aging process.
- Lifestyle factors like diet, physical activity, not smoking, and moderate alcohol consumption influence 70-80% of life expectancy. Genetics account for 20-30%.
- Regular physical activity, consuming a nutritious diet, limiting stress, and maintaining a healthy body weight are some strategies for healthy aging. Nutrient-drug interactions also require careful management among older adults.
This document discusses nutrition during old age. It notes that ageing brings physiological, psychological and immunological changes that influence nutritional status. Some key changes that occur with ageing include reduced taste, smell and gastric function as well as changes in organ functions. The document outlines nutritional requirements for older adults including reduced needs for energy, carbohydrates and proteins but continued needs for vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. Specific nutritional concerns for older adults like osteoporosis, neurological issues, anaemia and immunity are also covered.
This document discusses nutrition in geriatrics. It begins with definitions of key terms like nutrition, health, gerontology and balanced diet. It then classifies the elderly based on age and health status. The document outlines factors that can compromise nutritional status in the elderly like oral health issues, physiological changes, and medication side effects. It describes the major nutrients of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. It provides details on specific vitamins like A, D, E, K, B1 and B2 and their oral manifestations when deficient. The goal is to promote adequate nutrition for health and well-being in the aging population.
- Old age brings changes in organ functions like reduced sensory abilities, decreased digestion and absorption of nutrients, and lowered kidney and immune function.
- Nutritional requirements in old age decrease for energy but not for protein, vitamins, and minerals. Diet should emphasize easy-to-digest foods high in protein, calcium, vitamins C and D.
- Common health problems in old age like obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease can be influenced by diet. Maintaining balanced nutrition is important for healthy aging.
This document discusses nutrition during old age. It begins by defining old age as 60 years and above. Nutrition for the elderly is called geriatric nutrition. Aging brings physiological, psychological, and immunological changes that influence nutritional status. There are reductions in energy, carbohydrate, and protein needs due to loss of muscle mass and reduced physical activity. Key nutrients like calcium, iron, zinc, vitamins D and B12 must be consumed in adequate amounts to support the needs of aging bodies and prevent deficiencies and related health problems. Maintaining good nutrition is important for health, well-being, and quality of life during the later years.
The document discusses how lifestyle factors like diet and nutritional supplements can impact drug therapy. A well-balanced diet may decrease drug needs by preventing chronic illness. Dietary factors like protein status, food intake, and vitamin levels can influence drug absorption and effectiveness. Long-term diuretic use may cause deficiencies in potassium, magnesium, and zinc due to increased excretion. Herbal preparations and nutritional supplements also have the potential for drug interactions and should be discussed with patients.
This document discusses nutrition for the elderly. It notes that aging brings physiological, psychological, and immunological changes that influence nutritional status. Key nutritional needs for the elderly include reduced daily energy needs but stable or increased needs for protein, calcium, vitamins D and B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Common nutritional problems for seniors are obesity, malnutrition, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and immune system weakness. The principles of nutrition for older adults emphasize balanced meals, adequate hydration and fiber, limited salt and sugar, and regular fish consumption.
This chapter discusses energy balance and body composition. It covers the concepts of energy intake through foods and energy expenditure through basal metabolic rate and physical activity. Key points include how body weight is regulated by the balance of energy in and out, and factors that influence basal metabolic rate like age, gender, and body composition. The chapter also addresses defining healthy body weight and composition, and health risks associated with underweight and overweight such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Eating disorders in athletes and their prevention and treatment are examined as well.
A balanced diet based on the Eatwell Guide promotes good health while an unbalanced diet can lead to poor health and nutritional deficiencies. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and physical activity helps prevent diseases like coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers. Malnutrition occurs when intake of energy or nutrients is too high or too low and can be caused by factors like medical conditions, low income, or restricted food choices.
The document discusses nutrition and food preparation. It covers important food groups like breads/cereals, fruits/vegetables, dairy, and proteins. It emphasizes choosing whole grains, fruits/veggies, and lean meats. The document also discusses the importance of nutrition for health, reading food labels, proper portion sizes, hydration, and special diets like diabetic, modified texture, and high fiber diets.
The chapter discusses nutrition needs during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. During infancy, breast milk or formula is the primary food and solids are gradually introduced between 4-6 months. Special needs of preterm infants include limited nutrient stores. During childhood, energy and nutrient needs vary due to growth and activity levels. Nutrition concerns include lead poisoning, high sugar/fat intake, and iron deficiency. Schools need to provide nutritious foods to children.
Water plays a key role in the human body by maintaining homeostasis and allowing vital functions to occur. It is essential for regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and acting as a solvent. Water balance is maintained through fluid intake and losses via urine, sweat, breath, and feces. Both inadequate water intake and excessive losses can disrupt homeostasis and cause health issues. Major and trace minerals are also important for fluid balance, bone health, and other bodily processes.
1. The document discusses chemical reactions in the body related to metabolism. Plants use photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, which humans and animals consume and break down to use as fuel.
2. Metabolic reactions take place inside cells, with catabolism breaking down nutrients to release energy and anabolism building up body compounds using that energy. Glucose, fats, and proteins are broken down through various pathways to produce energy in the form of ATP.
3. The document also discusses alcohol consumption and metabolism. Alcohol is absorbed quickly and broken down in the liver, but excessive drinking can damage liver function and lead to malnutrition by interfering with nutrient metabolism. Both short and long-term
The document discusses proteins and amino acids. It covers the basics of what proteins are made from, the unique properties of different amino acids, how proteins are digested and absorbed. It also discusses the many important roles and functions of proteins in the body, including as enzymes, hormones, structural components, transporters, and more. Recommended daily intakes of protein are discussed as well as potential health effects of deficiencies and excesses.
The document discusses lipids including triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. It describes the chemical structures of fatty acids and how their length, degree of saturation, and double bond location influence physical properties. Triglycerides are formed from a glycerol backbone with three fatty acids attached. Phospholipids contain phosphate and choline while sterols have a ring structure. The digestion and transport of lipids is also summarized.
The document summarizes the key aspects of digestion, absorption, and transport. It describes the anatomy and functions of the digestive tract, including the roles of muscles, secretions, and hormones in breaking down food. Absorption occurs in the small intestine, where nutrients pass through the intestinal walls. Transported nutrients are then circulated via the hepatic portal system and lymphatic vessels. Homeostasis and gut flora also help regulate the healthy functioning of the GI system. Common digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, and ulcers are discussed.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.
