Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and preventing various diseases. The relationship between nutrition and health is intricate, with dietary choices significantly influencing overall well-being. Here's a comprehensive description of nutrition in health and disease:
Nutrition in Health:
Essential Nutrients: A balanced diet provides essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are vital for the proper functioning of the body, supporting growth, development, and overall maintenance of health.
Energy Balance: Nutrition contributes to maintaining an appropriate energy balance. The intake of calories should match the body's energy expenditure, preventing issues like obesity or malnutrition.
Disease Prevention: A nutritious diet can help prevent various chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, for instance, play a role in protecting cells from damage.
Immune System Support: Adequate nutrition supports a robust immune system, helping the body defend itself against infections and illnesses. Nutrients like vitamins A, C, and D, as well as zinc and selenium, are essential for immune function.
Healthy Aging: Proper nutrition contributes to healthy aging by maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and cognitive function. Nutrient-rich foods are especially important as individuals age to support overall well-being.
Nutrition in Disease:
Malnutrition: Inadequate or imbalanced nutrition can lead to malnutrition, which encompasses both undernutrition and overnutrition. Undernutrition can result in stunted growth, weakened immune function, and other health complications, while overnutrition can contribute to obesity and related diseases.
Chronic Diseases: Poor dietary choices are linked to the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Diets high in saturated fats, sugars, and salt can contribute to these health issues.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Insufficient intake of specific nutrients can lead to deficiencies, causing a range of health problems. For example, vitamin deficiencies may result in conditions like scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) or rickets (vitamin D deficiency).
Inflammation: Certain dietary patterns, such as those high in processed foods and low in anti-inflammatory nutrients, may contribute to chronic inflammation, a factor implicated in various diseases, including arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Digestive Health: Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining digestive health. Poor dietary choices can lead to gastrointestinal issues, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
In summary, nutrition is a cornerstone of health and disease prevention. Making informed and balanced dietary choices is crucial for maintaining overall well-being and reducing the risk of various health
balanced diet preventions and treatments. malnutrion and associatedd conditions. importaance of maintainind ideal ffood habits etc. discussed under gwhere
Micronutrient deficiencies can cause visible and dangerous health conditions, but they can also lead to less clinically notable reductions in energy level, mental clarity and overall capacity. This can lead to reduced educational outcomes, reduced work productivity and increased risk from other diseases and health conditions.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. DEFINITION
According to Taber’s Medical Dictionary,
1. Diet: What you eat and drink.
2. Nutrition: Internal processing of foods and beverages, such as
ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, distribution, and
elimination (metabolism).
According to Dr. Nizel: Science that deals with the study of nutrients
and foods, their effects on nature and function of organism under
varied conditions of age, health and disease.
According to WHO, Nutrition is the science of food and its relationship
to health.
‘Clinical’ Nutrition refers to macro-nutrient (protein, carbohydrate, and
fats/oils) and micro-nutrient (vitamins, minerals and water)
deficiencies at a cellular and tissue (clinical) level that leads to
organ or gland dysfunctions and eventually to disease.
3
4. RDA: Recommended Dietary
Allowance
• Levels of intake of essential nutrients that on a basis of scientific
knowledge are adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of all
healthy persons – American Food and Nutrition Board
• Published in 1943 during world war II
• 1944 by the Nutrition Advisory Committee of Indian Research
Fund Association (IRFA), now ICMR (in 1960).
REQUIREMENT + SAFETY MARGIN = RECOMMENDED
DIETARY INTAKE

5. Methods of Calculation:
1. ICMR Recommendations
2. Coefficient of calorie requirement:
By National Institue of Nutrition, Hyderabad.
Assuming 2400 kcal as 1 unit of energy, RDA is
expressed as proportion of this.
Lower than ICMR recommendations.
3. Holliday and Segar formula:
Based on age of the child and not present weight.
4. Weech formula:
For bedside approximation of expected weight and height.
5
6. • ICMR Recommendations:
– Dietary fat should be 20-30% of total daily intake.
– Saturated fats not more than 105 of total energy intake.
– Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrate to be
avoided.
– Energy-rich sources such as fats and alcohols-
consumption to be restricted.
– Salt intake reduced to not more than 5 gm/day.
– Protein 15-20% of daily intake.
– Reduced consumption of colas, ketchups, and other
foods that supply empty calories.
6
9. BALANCED DIET
• Diet which contains different types of foods possessing
the nutrients- carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins,
and minerals, in a proportion to meet the requirements
of the body.
• Highly variable.
• ICMR recommendations:
– Indian balanced diet is composed of cereals, pulses,
vegetables, roots and tubers, fruits, milk and milk products,
fats and oils, sugar and groundnuts.
– Meat, fish and eggs are present in non-vegetarian diets.
– Vegetarians may need additional intake of milk and pulses.

According to the UNICEF 2006- Progress for Children World Report, 5.6 million
children who are under the age of 5 years in the developing countries, contribute to
the country’s death rate, because of a high prevalence of malnutrition. This
accounts to 10 children per minute.

55. INFANT AND TODDLER (0 to 2
years)
• 0-6 months: Most rapid growth.
• AAP recommends human milk as the sole source of nutrition for first six
months with continued intake for the first year and as long as desired
thereafter.
• Breastfeeding:
– Advantageous to the child and mother.
• Adequacy of milk intake:
– Assessed by voiding and stool patterns.
– Well hydrated infant voids 6-8 times a day.
– By 5-7 days: loose yellow stools passed atleast 4 times a day.
– Most objective indicator: Rate of weight gain
1. Total weight loss should not exceed 7% after birth.
2. Birth weight should be regained by 10 days.
55
56. Serum bilirubin:
– Increased in breastfed infants than formula-fed.
– Feeding frequency during the first three days of life are
inversely related to the level of bilirubin.
Breast-milk jaundice (1-2 weeks):
– After first week of life, serum bilirubin is elevated due
to some unknown factor in the milk that increases
intestinal absorption of bilirubin.
56
57. • Milk substitutes:
– Regular unmodified cow’s milk not suitable.
– Low fat milk should not be used.
• Cases of severe nutrient deficiencies resulting in kwashiorkor and rickets
have been reported from regular consumption of non-fortified rice, soy
based health food milk alternatives.
• Solid diet:
– No nutritional need for introducing before 6 months of age.
– Earlier use can cause allergies or increased risk of obesity.
– Egg yolk can be safely given in weaning diet with no elevation in plasma
cholesterol level or egg allergies.
• Infant must excrete more water than adults to excrete comparable waste.
Dehydration should be noted.
• Supplements:
– Vitamin D, Iron, Fluoride.
57
58. • 2nd Year Of Life To Toddler:
– Reduction in appetite: NORMAL.
– High demand for proteins and minerals.
• 40-50% energy should come from fat during first two
years of life.
• Older than 2 years:
– Approximately 30% should come from fat, with no more
than 10% from either saturated fats or polyunsaturated fats.
– Carbohydrates: 55-60% of calorie requirements with no
more than 10% from simple sugars.
– RDA of dietary fiber equals 5 plus the age of the child.
58
59. DIET GUIDELINES FOR CHILDREN
OLDER THAN 2 YEARS
• GENERAL REOMMENDATIONS:
– Consume 3 regular meals daily with healthful snacks (2-3/day) according
to appetite, activity and growth needs.
– Include a variety of foods with abundant vegetables and fruits.
• KEY NUTRIENTS:
– Carbohydrates:
• Complex >/= 55-60% of daily calories, half of all grains should b whole grain,
high-fibre foods.
• Simple sugars: <10% daily calories.
– FATS:
• <30% of total calories should come from dietary fat.
• Saturated and polyunsaturated fats: <10% total calories each.
• Monounsaturated fats: atleast <10% total calories.
• Lean cuts of meat, fish, low-fat dairy products, vegetable oils.
• Cholesterol intake: 100mg/1000kcal/day (max 300 mg/day).
• Severe fat restriction (<= 15-20% of total calories) should be avoided: can lead
to growth failure. 59
60. PRESCHOOLER (3-6 YEARS)
• Growth spurts for physical growth.
• Less calories, more protein and minerals are needed.
• Baby fat lost by increasing physical activity and not by severe
restriction of calories.
• Dental considerations:
– Wholesome, nutritious, low sugar snacks can promote
adequate intake of essential nutrients without adding
calories or promoting dental caries.
60
61. SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN (6-12
YEARS)
• Decline in food requirements per unit body weight (because of
reduction in growth rate).
• High requirement of nutrients.
• Diet counseling: Children encouraged to have breakfast and
healthy snacks.
61
62. ADOLESCENT (12-18 YEARS)
• Nutritional requirements are influenced primarily by onset
of puberty and the final growth spurt of childhood.
• Increased need for energy, protein, minerals and vitamins.
• Adolescent females:
– Consume less food than boys.
– Disordered eating behaviors.
– Social and peer pressure.
– Female athlete triad: ACMS in 1992:
• Seen among female adolescent athletes.
• Disordered eating behaviors.
• Amenorrhea.
62
68. • WEIGHT
– Defined as heaviness of the body.
– Measured using a balanced beam scale.
– Indicator of both acute and chronic nutritional
status.
– Typically described with age and height.
– Weight-for-age value compares the child’s weight
to a peer reference group.
– Toddlers and older children should be weighed
with minimal clothing on a standing scale to 0.1
kg.
– Special needs: May need a lift scale or wheel
chair scale.
– Rayner and Rudolf suggested that a low weight-
for-age is a marker of failure to thrive.
68
70. • STATURE
– Under 2 years, stature is defined as recumbent length and is
assessed using a length board with a stationary head and
adjustable foot.
– After 2 years of age, it is measured in a standing position
with stadiometer or with the heels, buttocks and head flat
against a tape measure embedded in a wall.
– Both compare the child’s height to a peer reference group.
– A value less than 5th or 10th percentile of a peer reference
group has been used to screen for PEM.
– CDC guidelines: height-for-age value less than 5th
percentile- short stature.
70
72. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
AGE HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
At birth 35 cm
3 months 40 cm
6 months 43 cm
9 months 45 cm
1 year 47 cm
2 years 49 cm
3 years 50 cm
Approximate increase in 2 cm/month in the first three months, 1
cm/month in the next three months and 0.5 cm/month in the next
6 months.
72
73. CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE
• Measured at the nipple midway between
inspiration and expiration.
• At birth, head circumference is greater than
chest circumference but equalizes by 1 year of
age.
• Thereafter, chest circumference is more than
head circumference.
73
74. WEIGHT-FOR-HEIGHT
RATIO/BMI
1. Anthropometric measurement measuring weight relative to the height.
2. BMI= mass (kg) / (height (m))2
3. BMI percentile for <20 years of age.
BMI comparison with typical values for other children of same age and
gender.
4. CDC guidelines:
4. Increased prevalence of obesity in developed and developing nations.
BMI Percentile Health (Nutritional ) Status
<5 Underweight
5-85 Normal
85-95 Overweight
>95 Obese
74
75. NUTRITIONAL SCREENING
• Begins with an accurate measurement of height and weight and
calculation of BMI.
• These data should be plotted on age and gender appropriate growth
charts to determine the appropriateness of weight for height and the
presence of potential growth disorders.
75
77. WHO SPECIFIC GROWTH
CHARTS
• Road to health chart.
• By David Morley, later modified by WHO.
• Infants, birth to 36 months:
1. Length-for-age and weight-for-age.
2. Head circumference-for-age and weight-for-length
• Children and adolescents, 2 to 20 years
3. Stature-for-age and weight-for-age
4. BMI-for-age
• Preschoolers, 2 to 5 years
5. Weight-for-stature
77
WHO Chart Theory: Optimal nutrition + optimal
environment + optimal care = optimal growth
India adopted new WHO child growth standards
(2006) in Feb 2009
83. NUTRITION ASSESSMENT
• Key indicators of nutrition risk of adolescents can be based on:
– Food choices
– Food resources
– Physical activity
– Eating behaviors
– Weight and body image
– Growth
– Medical conditions
– Lifestyle
83
93. • FAILURE TO THRIVE:
– Refers to condition when the physical growth of a child is less
than expected, usually below the third or fifth centile, or when a
child has significant loss of weight in a short time.
– Classification:
• Organic: (30%) with a known medical condition.
• Non-organic or psychosocial: (70%) without any known medical
condition; due to psychosocial neglect. Also called as environmental
FTT because of poverty and accidental errors.
• Mixed type.
– FTT and PEM are closely related. FTT is for investigation,
whereas PEM is the diagnosis.
– Causes for organic type:
• GIT
• Renal
• Neurologic
• CVS
• Respiratory
• Endocrine
• Infections
• Miscellaneous
93
95. OBESITY
• CDC guidelines prefers terms at risk for overweight and
overweight.
• Weight-for-age values >90th to 95th percentile may be used to
screen for overweight. However, weight-for-height
relationship provides a much more valuable assessment of
body fat.
• Age specific BMI from 85th to less than 95th percentile is
indicative of at risk for overweight.
• BMI greater than 95th percentile is indicative of overweight.
95
96. DISORDERED EATING
• Psychosocial dwarfism:
– Deceleration of linear growth and characteristic behavior disturbances
including bizarre eating patterns and sleeping habits.
– Children do not demonstrate expected growth in response to
appropriate food intake in their home environment secondary to neglect
and/or severely dysfunctional caregiver-child interactions.
– Typical presentation occurs at 18-48 months.
• Rumination:
– Voluntary regurgitation, chewing and reswallowing of stomach
contents.
– Self-stimulatory behavior.
– Typically associated with psychosocial issues and/or mental retardation.
– Age of onset is typically 3-12 months but occurs later in individuals
with mental retardation.
– Children are at risk for enamel erosion.
96
97. • Pica:
– Pathologic craving for a food item or substance not
commonly regarded as food.
– Examples: Starch, ice, dirt, paper.
– Risk of direct toxicity from the desired substance and lead
poisoning from incidental exposure.
97
98. EROSION
• Dental erosion is the main pathological factor leading to tooth wear,
along with abrasion and attrition .
• Changes in lifestyle and the increasing availability of acidic
beverages and juices.
• A wide range of acidic food substances has been implicated by
varying degrees of scientific evidence, including citrus fruit juices
and other acidic fruit juices, acidic carbonated beverages, acidic
uncarbonated beverages, acidic sport drinks, wines, cider, acidic
herbal teas, citrus fruits and other acidic fruits and berries, salad
dressing, vinegar conserves and acidic fruit-flavored candies
98
99. • The erosive potential of dietary sources of acids, namely citric
(citrus juices), phosphoric (soft drinks), malic (apple juice),
tartaric (grape juice and wine), acetic (vinegar) and other acids
found in beverages and foods has been shown in many in vitro,
in situ and in vivo studies.
• Chemical properties (pH, total acid content ,calcium,
phosphate and fluoride content, and adhesiveness).
• Biological factors (salivary flow rate, buffering capacity and
composition, pellicle formation, tooth composition, and dental
and soft-tissue anatomy).
• Behavioral (lifestyle) factors (eating and drinking habits,
especially the frequency, duration and timing of exposure). 99
101. • CARIOGENIC FOODS:
– Promote formation of caries.
– Fermentable carbohydrates (those that can be broken down
by salivary amylase).
– Result in lower mouth pH.
– Include crackers, chips, pretzels, cereals, breads, fruits,
sugars, sweets, desserts.
101
102. • CARIOSTATIC FOODS:
– Foods that do not contribute to decay.
– Do not cause a drop in salivary pH.
– Includes proteins, fat, fish, egg, meat, poultry, vegetables,
sugarless gums.
102
103. • ANTICARIOGENIC FOODS
– Prevent plaque from recognizing an acidogenic food when
it is eaten first.
– May increase salivation or have antimicrobial activity.
– Includes Xylitol (sweetener), cheese.
103
104. NUTRITIONAL
CONSIDERATIONS FOR
SPECIAL CHILDREN
• Chronic diseases can pose increased risks to the
nutritional status of infants and children.
• It is estimated that as many as 40% of SHCN children
are at risk for nutrition problems.
• Decreased appetite
• Frequency of food intake.
• Parental over-indulgence.
• Poor oral hygiene.
104
105. • Long-term use of cariogenic medications:
– Children’s Tylenol Suspension contains 2g of high
fructose per teaspoon (5ml).
– Amoxicillin contains more than 5g of sucrose in
the daily dose of 15 ml.
– Digoxin syrup contains 30% sucrose and
Chlorthiazide and Spironolactone contain
approximately 20% sucrose.
105
106. XEROSTOMIA
• Symptom of various medical conditions, a side-effect
of radiation to the head and neck or a wide variety of
medications that may or may not be associated with
decreased salivary gland function.
• Most of the drugs used in ADHD patients can cause
xerostomia.
• Associated with slower clearance of foods from the oral
cavity.
• This allows fermentable carbohydrates to stay in
contact with plaque longer and hence increases acid
production and enhances enamel demineralization.
106
107. • DENTAL DIETARY GUIDANCE OF CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGE
GROUPS.
I. Prenatal Growth.
• Poor Prenatal nutrition
• Children with hypoplastic enamel
• Mothers with active caries.
II. Birth to 1 year.
• Breast milk and infant formula.
• ≤ 6 months of age.
• At age of 6 months.
Guidance for promoting good nutrition and decreasing caries risk in infants
• Discourage the behavior of placing a child to bed with bottle.
• Prohibit dipping pacifiers in sugar, honey or syrup.
• Discourage a child from carrying and continuously drinking from bottle or sippy
cup.
• Introduce cup to begin weaning from bottle.
• Reduce use of beverages, other than breast milk, infant formula or water.
• Follow infant feeding guidelines to ensure optimal nutrition.
107
108. III. 1-2 Years.
• Between the age of 12-30 months
Guidance for promoting good nutrition and decreasing caries in
toddlers.
• Limit juices or sugar-containing drink in take to 4oz/day and only in
cup.
• Restrict cariogenic foods to meal times.
• Establish routine meal with family members eating together.
• Stimulate a child’s appetite at meal time by reducing between meal
snacking.
IV. 2-5 Years.
• Good dietary habits with regular meal pattern.
• Non-cariogenic snacks should be provided at home and lunch boxes.
• Discourage Sugar containing snacks.
• Promoting nutrition ,non-cariogenic food for meals.
• Strongly discourage the consumption of slowly eaten, sugar-containing
foods.
108
109. ORAL HEALTH
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Oral Health Management:
– AAPD recommends establishing a dental home by one year of age.
• Oral Hygiene Management:
– 2-2-2 rule for brushing of teeth as soon as the tooth erupt. A soft-nylon
bristle manual or electric toothbrush should be used for 2 minutes, 2
times a day with nothing entering the mouth for 2 hours after spitting
without rinsing.
– Caregiver should brush the child’s teeth until age 7-8 years.
– ADA guidelines: Pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste twice a
day beginning at 2-ars old with careful supervision.
– < 2 years: smear of fluoridated toothpaste may be necessary.
– Tooth wipes can be used.
• Antimicrobial products:
– Used in addition to mechanical plaque removal methods.
109
110. • Xylitol: Low calorie, naturally occuring, and diabetic safe
sugar not metabolized by cariogenic bacteria.
• Remineralizing Products:
– Fluoride varnish
– Amorphous calcium phosphate
• Management of Xerostomia:
– Saliva stimulants or sialogogues.
– Frequent sipping of sugarless fluids throughout the day.
– Rinsing 4-6 times daily with salt and baking soda solution to
buffer acidic oral environment.
– Alcohol containing mouthwashes to be avoided as it may cause
drying.
– Flavor enhancers.
