Full textAbstract:
There is a new merging of health economics and nutrition disciplines to assess the impact of diet on health and disease prevention and to characterise the health and economic aspects of specific changes in nutritional behaviour and nutrition recommendations. A rationale exists for developing the field of nutrition economics which could offer a better understanding of both nutrition, in the context of having a significant influence on health outcomes, and economics, in order to estimate the absolute and relative monetary impact of health measures. For this purpose, an expert meeting assessed questions aimed at clarifying the scope and identifying the key issues that should be taken into consideration in developing nutrition economics as a discipline that could potentially address important questions. We propose a first multidisciplinary outline for understanding the principles and particular characteristics of this emerging field. We summarise here the concepts and the observations of workshop participants and propose a basic setting for nutrition economics and health outcomes research as a novel discipline to support nutrition, health economics and health policy development in an evidence and health-benefit-based manner.

The management of general secondary education (ZZSO) seeks financial autonomy by identifying sources of additional income, including by providing catering services based on functioning food units, which necessitates improving the level of catering services that will meet competitive conditions. This need increases the relevance of compliance with the principles of marketing in the process of organizing ZSSO this type of activity to meet the needs of consumers, increase their loyalty and, consequently, increase the level of income from the organization of food. The need to determine the range of possibilities for the application of marketing approaches and the potential of the marketing mechanism, which can be done using the methods of economic and mathematical modeling, in particular cognitive and scenario modeling, is gaining relevance. Research of the potential of the marketing mechanism of children’s nutrition organization in general secondary education institutions. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were performed: formed cognitive maps and cognitive model of the system of potential development of the marketing mechanism of children’s nutrition in ZSSO, based on the implementation of scenario modeling of system behavior identified factors influencing the development of marketing mechanism. The method (methodology). Methodological and theoretical foundations of the study are economic theory, scientific developments of scientists in the organization of children’s nutrition in the system of general secondary education. The research used general scientific methods (abstract-logical, empirical, comparative analysis, averages, generalizations, etc.) and methods of cognitive and scenario modeling. The article presents the results of the analysis of the system of potential development of the marketing mechanism on the basis of cognitive and scenario modeling, which allowed to determine the levers and performance factors of the system. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that a good basis for building the potential of the marketing mechanism to improve the nutrition of school children is to focus on maximizing customer satisfaction and increasing their loyalty while creating the necessary conditions to increase production efficiency and sales in school canteens. supported by activities to promote the principles of nutrition among students ZSSO and society as a whole. To this end, it is advisable to increase the level of automation of production and service processes in canteens ZSSO, information and communication support, stimulate the welfare of key actors of the marketing mechanism by coordinating the interaction of stakeholders in ensuring proper nutrition of children in educational institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Food consumption recording is a social need because the consumption is an indicator of the nutrition status that means the health status, of the population, and an economic factor. Food consumption trends in the nineties are characterized by a steep fall of most kinds of foods, mainly from animal sources. It is not necessary to adjust this fact with respect to recent data of the time series. Four commodities show a positive increase. The trend of food consumption is bound up with more slowly increasing incomes of the population than was the increase in food prices after their liberalization. The consequences of consumption trends do not imply any deterioration of nutrition status because nutrition requirements have been met except calcium and vitamin A supply due to a decrease in milk consumption, and except vitamin C, still a deficient element although its supply has substantially increased. A systematic attention should be focused on the population nutrition through nutrition and food policies.

Summary of recommendations1.A new Nutrition Committee for the European Union1.1 A new Nutrition Committee for the European Union, should be created to give independent scientific and policy advice on nutrition, diets and physical activity to the Commission. This should be supported by a strengthened Nutritional Unit within the Commission.2.Policy development2.1 There needs to be a comprehensive and coherent nutritional policy for the EU2.2 The development of European dietary goals should continue after the completion of the Eurodiet Project.2.3 The European Commission should revise its Recommended Daily Allowances for vitamins and minerals using a systematic, evidence-based approach. Recommended Daily Allowances should be set at a level which would prevent deficiencies and lower the risk of disease.2.4 The European Commission should produce, preferably every four years, a report on the state of nutrition, diet and physical activity in the EU. This report should contain proposals for action3.Components of a nutrition policyEducation3.1 The European Commission should not be involved in the direct delivery of lifestyle advice to the public.3.2 The European Commission should continue to support networks whose members are involved in educating the public and in training professionals about nutrition, diets and physical activity.Research3.3 European Community funding of health-related research should better reflect the Community's public health priorities.3.4 The European Community should ear-mark funds for large, multi-centre studies into nutrition, diet and physical activity with a duration of up to 10 years.Consumer protectionFood labelling3.5 The European Commission should draw up proposals for the regulation of health claims.3.6 The European Community should agree rules for the use of nutrition claims along the lines agreed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.3.7 The European Commission should review the 1990 Nutrition Labelling Directive particularly with a view to making nutrition labelling more comprehensible and it should encourage the development of other ways of providing consumers with information about the nutrient content of foods though, for example, the Internet.Food composition3.8 The European Commission should review the Novel Food Regulations, particularly with a view to ensuring that the nutritional consequences of consuming novel foods are better assessed and to making approval procedures more efficient.3.9 European Community rules on food fortification and on food supplements should be harmonised but in such a way that the interests of consumers are paramount.Agriculture policy3.10 The Common Agriculture Policy should be subject to a regular and systematic health impact assessment.3.11 Given that there are subsidies under the Common Agricultural Policy designed to increase consumption of surplus food, these should be directed towards promoting the consumption of foods for which there is strong evidence of a need for increased consumption in the EU for health reasons.Special issuesFruit and vegetable consumption3.12 The promotion of increased fruit and vegetable consumption across the EU should be a key aspect of the European Union's proposed nutrition policy.Breast feeding3.13 The European Union should review its policy on breast feeding including assessing and, if necessary, improving its legislation on breast milk substitutes and maternity leave.Physical Activity3.14 The European Union should have a policy for promoting physical activity in Europe. This should be part of, or at least closely integrated with, the European Union's proposed nutritional policy.

This article analyses the effects on children's nutritional status of their mothers’ knowledge of nutrition while controlling for the effects of the socio-economic characteristics of the family. In almost every test of the effects of various aspects of nutritional knowledge on weight for age and height for age, per capita monthly income was a significant intervening factor; the exception was the knowledge of ORS preparation. In the case of weight for height, house construction type was a significant intervening factor. The authors conclude that, unless mothers’ economic status improves simultaneously with nutrition knowledge, they may not be able to practice what they know, but that it is nevertheless essential to increase their nutrition knowledge.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the present methods used to define nutritional needs, and to analyse the intrinsic limitations of the reductionist chemical, biological and medical approaches to assess requirements. To establish the necessity to incorporate the complexities emerging from a broader understanding of the biological sciences as well as to include environmental and social dimensions in addressing nutritional needs.MethodExamples of the limitations of current approaches and the implications of these in defining potential solutions and policy options to address present nutritional problems are presented and discussed.ConclusionThe chemical and biological sciences have provided a strong base for nutrition and have been essential in establishing nutrition as a science with public health relevance. However, these approaches are clearly insufficient to address the main challenges that confront nutrition science now in the twenty-first century. There is a pressing need to include the social, economic and human rights aspects in order to define future policies that will secure the right to safe and nutritious food for all.

Full textAbstract:
Improving health through better nutrition of the population may contribute to enhanced efficiency and sustainability of healthcare systems. A recent expert meeting investigated in detail a number of methodological aspects related to the discipline of nutrition economics. The role of nutrition in health maintenance and in the prevention of non-communicable diseases is now generally recognised. However, the main scope of those seeking to contain healthcare expenditures tends to focus on the management of existing chronic diseases. Identifying additional relevant dimensions to measure and the context of use will become increasingly important in selecting and developing outcome measurements for nutrition interventions. The translation of nutrition-related research data into public health guidance raises the challenging issue of carrying out more pragmatic trials in many areas where these would generate the most useful evidence for health policy decision-making. Nutrition exemplifies all the types of interventions and policy which need evaluating across the health field. There is a need to start actively engaging key stakeholders in order to collect data and to widen health technology assessment approaches for achieving a policy shift from evidence-based medicine to evidence-based decision-making in the field of nutrition.

Full textAbstract:
There is much debate on the reasons for the poor nutritional status of the population amidst high economic growth in the country. A profusion of correlations and statistical averages characterizes mainstream nutritional discourses that are based on the notion of food as a thing that could be measured and understood in terms of numerical values. Much as the quantitative approach is necessary to guide public policy and to provide the basic food security to the population, it is a partial view, not adequate to understand the issues surrounding nutrition in all its dimensions. Drawing upon field data on food in rural South India, this article calls for a broader perspective on food that gives scope for people’s concerns about its quality and ecological source. It aims at providing a sociologically informed understanding of the statistical and the existential aspects of the nutrition problem.

The article is aimed at studying and identifying the problems of human nutrition in the process of its evolution, as well as systematizing theories and scientific views on the needs and functions of nutrition in the context of food security. It is proved that food security of countries is a prerequisite and guarantee of preservation of their sovereignty and independence, ensuring sustainable socio-economic development, formation of both the high level and the high quality of life of the population, reproduction of human capital. The analysis of the state of nutrition of the population of Ukraine indicates the imbalance in the main nutrients and the inconsistency of them with the main principles of rational nutrition. It is determined that human nutritional needs have evolved under the influence of factors of socio-economic and scientific-technological progress. In each ethnic, cultural, religious community, people had their own ideas about the necessary nutrition, which were part of the world-view at a certain time. On the basis of the characterization of food evolution, the theories and conceptions of nutrition are systematized. It is proved that the fundamental changes in the lifestyle and nutrition structure of mankind in the 21st century require further study of theoretical aspects of nutrition, systematization of new approaches to the formation of modern theory of nutrition. The need for qualitatively new approaches to the preparation of diets of the population on the basis of functional food products using natural raw materials of increased nutritional value, dietary supplements, etc. is substantiated.

The research examining bioscience networks has been studied from two perspectives. One view comes from economics and the other sociology. We examine the technical (material flows) and people aspects (information sharing) of interdependency in the context of economic exchanges in a bioscience network. The empirical contributions are the techniques used to explain the network structure of a burgeoning animal health and nutrition bioscience network and the portability of network analysis concepts that provides the potential to manage diverse business networks. The results suggest the economic exchanges can be traced back to the underlying interactions that safeguard transactions and influence the flow of resources and information.

Food insecurity in the United States is a profound public health challenge that hospitals are uniquely situated to address. Through the enactment of the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, the Affordable Care Act provides a strong economic incentive for hospitals to actively confront food insecurity within the communities they serve. While there is a spectrum of nutrition interventions that hospitals can look to when engaging in these efforts, healthy food prescriptions and medically tailored meals are two particularly innovative and promising approaches that could help hospitals reduce readmissions by addressing the nutritional needs of vulnerable patients.

AbstractObjectiveTo show that nutrition science, with its application to food and nutrition policy, now needs a new conceptual framework. This will incorporate nutrition in its current definition as principally a biological science, now including nutritional aspects of genomics. It will also create new governing and guiding principles; specify a new definition; and add social and environmental dimensions and domains.MethodA narrative review of nutrition science, its successes and achievements, and its dilemmas, paradoxes, shortcomings, dissonances and challenges. Reference is made to 16 associated papers. Equal use is made of continuous text and of boxed texts that extend the review and give salient examples.ResultsRecent and current interrelated electronic and genomic discoveries and linked sequential demographic, nutritional and epidemiological shifts, in the context of associated and interlinked global social, cultural, environmental, economic, political and other developments, altogether amount to a world in revolution, requiring all disciplines including that of nutrition science to make comparably radical responses.ConclusionNutrition in principle and practice should be a biological and also an environmental and social science. This new broad integrated structure brings much recent and current progressive work into the centre of nutrition science, and in some ways is a renewal of the period when nutrition science had its greatest impact. It amounts to a map charting well-known and also new worlds. The new nutrition science is concerned with personal and population health, and also with planetary health – the welfare and future of the whole physical and living world of which humans are a part. In this way the discipline will make a greater contribution to the preservation, maintenance, development and sustenance of life on Earth, appropriate for the twenty-first century.

Full textAbstract:
Allostasis and allostatic load are new concepts explaining the changes in body stemming from chronic stress. These concepts are explained with the assessment of metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and neuroendocrine systems. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with the fluctuations in fasting plasma glucose, and also in other various biomarkers and poses a risk forother chronic diseases. The course and duration of the disease, genetic factors, and environmental factors, including nutrition, aggravate these complications. Allostatic load is a multi-system assessment. Individuals’ compliance with the medical nutrition therapy in the short and long-term, changes in anthropometric and biochemical biomarkers that are used to measure the nutritional status. In the monitoring of patients with diabetes, it’s important to assess metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and immune system biomarkers as well as fasting blood glucose. There exist studies in the literature, investigating the relationship of the allostatic load with socio-economic status, chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, gender, and ethnicity. In these studies, chronic stress, nutritional status, stress, and allostasis are briefly described. In the present literature review, it was aimed to evaluate different aspects of the relationships among diabetes, nutrition, allostatic load, and stress.

AbstractObjectivesTo determine the level of knowledge regarding iodine nutrition and its relationship with socio-economic status in the South African population.DesignA cross-sectional population survey collecting questionnaire information on knowledge of iodine nutrition and sociodemographic variables in a multistage, stratified, cluster study sample, representative of the adult South African population.SettingHome visits and personal interviews in the language of the respondent.SubjectsData were collected from one adult in each of the selected 2164 households, and the participation rate was 98%.ResultsOnly 15.4% of respondents correctly identified iodised salt as the primary dietary source of iodine, 16.2% knew the thyroid gland needs iodine for its functioning, and a mere 3.9% considered brain damage, and 0.8% considered cretinism, as the most important health consequence of iodine deficiency. Compared with respondents from high socio-economic households, respondents from low socio-economic households were considerably less informed about aspects of iodine nutrition covered in this study.ConclusionsThe knowledge level of iodine nutrition is low among South Africans, particularly among the low socio-economic groups. These data suggest that the international emphasis on brain damage resulting from iodine deficiency has not been conveyed successfully to the consumer level in this country.

Full textAbstract:
‘Wholesome Nutrition’ is a concept of sustainable nutrition that was developed at the University of Giessen in the 1980s. In this concept, health and the ecologic, economic, social and cultural dimensions of nutrition are equally important. In 1992 at the UN-Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro the definition of ‘Sustainable Development’ comprised the dimensions environment, economy and society. Additionally to these three ‘classical’ dimensions of sustainability, we included ‘health’ as the fourth dimension because nutrition has far reaching effects on human health. The fifth dimension, ‘culture’, became part of the sustainability dialogue since many years; the respective cultural background influences food habits. Presently, mankind has to cope with huge global challenges such as poverty and food insecurity in low-income countries as well as climate change. Therefore the objective is to identify prospects for actions to respond to these global challenges. The concept of ‘Sustainable Nutrition’ analyses the food supply chain at all stages from input-production and primary production to processing, distribution, preparation, consumption and waste disposal. The present analysis leads to the following seven principles: preference of plant-based foods, organic foods, regional and seasonal products, preference of minimally processed foods, Fair Trade products, resource-saving housekeeping and enjoyable eating culture. This concept is based on holistic thinking and has the potential to reduce the global challenges in the field of nutrition. Scientists, stakeholders, multipliers and consumers are asked to consider environmental, economic, social and cultural aspects in addition to the biological (health) aspects.

Full textAbstract:
The economics of human nutrition has changed greatly in recent years as researchers have moved beyond supply and demand of specific foods and total calories to functional aspects of diet quality, such as nutrient composition, sustainability, and a variety of credence attributes. New kinds of data and methods allow researchers to focus on beneficial or harmful attributes of dietary patterns and the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving health through diet. This review describes some of the recent literature in nutrition economics and its implications for food policy around the world. The new economics of nutrition is benefiting from a strong foundation in the behavioral and social sciences, building on evidence from the natural and health sciences to address fundamental aspects of human well-being and sustainable development.

The recent recognition by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) of the Mediterranean diet as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity reinforces, together with the scientific evidence, the Mediterranean diet as a cultural and health model. The Mediterranean diet has numerous beneficial effects on among others the immune system, against allergies, on the psyche, or even on quality of life, topics that are currently fields of research. The Mediterranean diet has an international projection; it is regarded as the healthiest and the most sustainable eating pattern on the planet and is a key player in the public health nutrition field globally, but especially in the Mediterranean area. Moreover, this ancient cultural heritage should be preserved and promoted from different areas: public health, agriculture, culture, politics, and economic development.

Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of literature that empirically verifies the causality between stunting, poverty, and economic growth in 34 provinces in Indonesia using Klassen’s typology analysis and Panel VECM. This study indicates that the prevalence of stunting has a direct causality towards poverty and economic growth in the long-term by 0.02%. Handling high the prevalence of stunting needs to be focused on in all provinces in Indonesia. Poverty directly affects the stunting prevalence and economic growth in the long-term by 0.06%. The percentage of the population, poverty outside Java, including Nusa Tenggara, Moluccas, and Papua, is also higher than in Java. Therefore, efforts to tackle poverty should be more focused on these areas. Economic growth has a direct causality to the prevalence of stunting and poverty by 0.57%. It proves that the country’s economic growth is accompanied by socioeconomic development and improving the poor’s livelihoods and welfare. Can also recommend specific nutrition and sensitive nutrition interventions to impact the massive reduction of stunting in Indonesia.Keywords: Stunting, Poverty, Economic Growth, IndonesiaJEL: I10; I18; I32; O10; O15; P36

The paper deals with the phenomenon of traditional nutrition of Romanians from the Prut-Dniester region as an important mechanism of ethno-ecological adaptation serving as regulation of energy exchange between the human body and the environment. It will also reflect the interdependent relations between nutrition and food products obtained in the households and determined by the natural conditions of living. It should be mentioned that the principal occupations of the population: agriculture, cattle breeding, fishery, beekeeping etc., develop in line with the natural conditions. Therefore, we will elucidate some representative elements for the system of values, ethnic history and culture of our people: specific characteristics of the traditional dietary regime, daily and seasonal food, ritual dishes, technical processes of preparation and consumption, etiquette. The overall evaluation of daily nutritional ration, with the exceptions caused by climatic (drought etc.), economic and social factors, proves that it provides a complete range of essential vitamins and minerals, and the traditional nutritional system is the result of biological, historical and cultural processes fusion. The impact of the ecosystem on food resources and on the formation of metabolism in the local population is also analysed. It identifies some specific features of nutrition of Romanians from the studied area related to the aspect of rational use and processing of food resources, as well as maintaining the balance with the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Most of the African countries are undergoing a complex nutrition and epidemiologic transition associated with a rapid increase in the prevalence of diverse non-communicable diseases. Despite this alarming situation, the still limited and fragmented resources available in Africa impede the implementation of effective action plans to tackle the current and projected diet–disease burden. In order to address these common needs and challenges, the African Union is increasingly supporting continental approaches and strategies as reflected in the launching of the Agenda 2063 and the African regional nutrition strategy 2015–2025, among others. To assure the successful implementation of pan-African nutritional and health initiatives, cost-effective approaches considering similarities/disparities in economy, regional integration, development and nutritional aspects between countries are needed. In the absence of pre-existing models, we reviewed regional economic integration and nutritional indicators (n 13) available in international organisations databases or governmental agencies websites, for fifty-two African countries. These indicators were used to map the countries according to common languages (e.g. Arabic, English, French, Portuguese), development status (e.g. human development index), malnutrition status (e.g. obesity) and diet (e.g. staples predominantly based on either cereals or tubers). The review of the indicators showed that there exist similarities between African countries that can be exploited to benefit the continent with cross-national experiences in order to avoid duplication of efforts in the implementation of future pan-African health studies. In addition, including present and future nutrition surveillance programmes in Africa into national statistical systems might be cost-effective and sustainable in the longer term.

Full textAbstract:
A conceptual discussion on the discourses of the social actors in the field of Food and Nutrition is proposed, presenting the existing conflicts, discursive strategies and struggles for academic legitimacy. The line of argumentation follows the biopower concept developed by Michel Foucault, who presents medicine as a knowledge-power focused at the same time on the body and the population, the human body and the biological processes, producing disciplinary results and widespread regulatory effects on society. Based on this concept it is argued that the discourses produced in the field put hegemonic and counter-hegemonic interests in confrontation, political disputes disguised by "abstract" epistemological discussions, strategies to lure consumers, life standardization and medicalization. Such discourses translate instances of power in dispute, economic interests, structural conflicts, political impasses. New elements are presented for the production of knowledge for professionals of Nutrition and for the perception of the feeding act beyond the nutritional, biological, biomedical and epistemological parameters, which in essence are clearly political once they convey tensions between the conceptual structures that also operate in the interior of the field. It is assumed that there is no such health or nutrition as abstract, neutral fields, detached from reality; such dimensions are part of the material, concrete life and carry symbolic, cultural and subjective values. Considering only the nutritional aspects of nutrition is to impoverish and weaken it, and the discussion that seems to be "merely conceptual" brings to light important issues that the professionals in the field of Food and Nutrition should address.

The pregnant women and lactating women are considered as the nutritionally exposed group specifically in the emerging countries. The present paper is mainly focusing on nutritional intake status/behaviours with respect to the culture, beliefs, habits, socioeconomic status and the knowledge and awareness of the target group i.e. pregnant and lactating women.
Method: we were review various literature and studies with the keywords such as nutrition, dietary intake, food intake behaviour, culture and practices. In this paper literature were divided it into three sections. These were (a) Nutrient and Dietary Intake; (b) Cultural Beliefs and Practices; (c) Socio-Economic Characteristics.
Results: Nutrient and dietary intake were not matched with recommended RDA. Cultures beliefs and practices were very changed in the different community and economic groups such as tribal community were not taking important food during pregnancy and lactation period and Urban women had the higher knowledge of nutrition diet compared to rural women. Socio-economic condition influences the dietary behavior or food’s choice of pregnant and lactating women.
Conclusions: Various studies and papers were reviews in this paper, we found gaps between recommended RDA, nutritional behavior, and practices in the target groups of developing countries such as India. This paper concludes the further research and intervention are required on pregnant and lactating women on nutritional behaviour as well as dietary practices.

Balita stunting dipahami sebagai balita yang mengalami permasalahan kondisi gizi kronis, kondisi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor yang meliputi keadaan sosial dan perekonomian orang tua, asupan nutrisi atau gizi saat masa kehamilan, riwayat penyakit yang dialami bayi, dan kurangnya nutrisi atau gizi pada bayi serta pola asuh yang tidak sesuai dengan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak, terlebih pada masa 1.000 HPK. Dalam jangka pendek akan berdampak pada terpengaruhinya beberapa aspek seperti aspek kognitif, aspek motorik, dan aspek verbal yang mengalami hambatan. Dalam jangka yang panjang stunting menyebabkan kondisi perawakan pada balita kurang proporsional pada usia remaja menuju dewasa. Stunting juga meningkatkan resiko obesitas di masa yang akan mendatang. Stunting juga berdampak pada kesehatan reproduksi yang menurun. Anak stunting juga memiliki penurunan kapasitas belajar, sehingga performa dan produktivitasnya di sekolah akan berkurang dan tidak optimal. Pelaksanaan intervensi sensitive dilakukan lebih berfokus pada penanganan faktor-faktor yang secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi kondisi asupan gizi yang menyumbang terjadinya stunting. Intervensi gizi sensitif memiliki sumbangsih yang signifikan yaitu sebesar 70 % dalam upaya pencegahan terjadinya stunting meskipun secara tidak langsung. Pemberdayaan kesejahteraan keluarga (PKK) berperan sebagai agen perubahan untuk melaksanakan pemberdayaan masyarakat agar tujuan pembangunan kesehatan dapat tercapai. Tujuan tersebut ialah untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang issue stunting dan menangani kasus stunting dengan pelaksanaan pemberdayaan masyarakat oleh kelompok pemberdayaan kesejahteraan keluarga (PKK). Stunting toddlers are understood as toddlers who experience problems with chronic nutritional conditions, these conditions are influenced by many factors including the social and economic conditions of parents, nutritional intake or nutrition during pregnancy, history of illness experienced by infants, and lack of nutrition or nutrition in infants and patterns of nutrition. parenting that is not in accordance with the growth and development of children, especially during the 1,000 HPK period. In the short term, it will affect several aspects such as cognitive aspects, motor aspects, and verbal aspects that experience obstacles. In the long term, stunting causes stature conditions in toddlers to be less proportional from adolescence to adulthood. Stunting also increases the risk of obesity in the future. Stunting also has an impact on declining reproductive health. Stunting children also have a decreased learning capacity, so their performance and productivity in school will be reduced and not optimal. The implementation of sensitive interventions is carried out more focused on handling factors that indirectly affect the condition of nutritional intake that contributes to stunting. The sensitive nutrition intervention has a significant contribution of 70% in preventing stunting even though it is indirectly. Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) acts as an agent of change to implement community empowerment so that health development goals can be achieved. The aim is to increase public awareness about the stunting issue and handle stunting cases by implementing community empowerment by the Family Welfare Empowerment Group (PKK).

The article describes the evolution of approaches to the concept of food security and its components in the world. Highlighted that the development is non-linear and the emphasis in the attention of the world community and political decision-makers to aspects of food security depends largely on the economic situation. In the 20th century, food security issues moved from the national to the global level, with subsequent involvement at the household, individual and nutritional levels. Noticed that the world tendency to synthesize and combine the problems of food security and nutrition security still does not find proper reflection in Russian scientific papers, legal documents and methods of food security assessment, indicating the possible direction of their improvement.

With with rapid change of climate, sustainable diets considering environmental, economic and social aspects of food system emerged as an important concept worldwide. In this study, the college students’ perceptions on sustainable diets were examined to diagnose their level of understanding and to be used for their future education. The basic data were collected from 115 college students taking an on-line class on food and diets in 2020 and 2021 located in Seoul. The word files of each report were analyzed by using Taguette program, an open-source software for qualitative research and Microsoft Excel. The results were as following. Firstly, the words occurred in the respondents’ mind by sustainable diets were health, environment, being eco-friendly, nutrition/nutrients in order. Abstract concepts occurred by sustainable diets were Health and nutrition, environment and being eco-friendly, and definite concepts related with food were vegetables, organic/no pesticide vegetables, local food, fruits, cooked rice for positive aspect and fast food/instant food, food waste for negative aspect. Secondly, the phrases describing the characteristics of sustainable vs non-sustainable diets were suggested as eco-friendly vs environmental contamination/destroy, health vs non-health, nutritionally balanced diet vs non-balanced diet/diet, eating proper amount vs overeating/eating at night, natural food vs processed food, vegetarian diet/vegetables vs meat diet/meat. Based on the results, the respondents seemed to perceive that sustainable diets are eco-friendly, healthy and nutritionally balanced diets by consuming proper amount of natural or vegetable food rather than process food. Thirdly, the definition of sustainable diets described as a sentence could be categorized into 9 groups by the key words of environment, health, and future. And the most frequent one was a diet that protects environment as well as human health. Above results showed that the respondents do not perceive social and economic aspects of sustainable diets other than envrionment and health when compared with the defition of FAO, the 3rd National Food Education Plan and concept of sustainability. Therefore, social and economic aspects of sustainable diet along with environment and health should be stressed and further education needs to be provided for college students to practice sustainable diets in their daily life.

Background: An adequate caloric intake is a major determinant for the health status especially when degenerative conditions become a predominant risk for difficult-to-treat diseases as in aging. Methods: A structured search of literature on the major databases was performed using terms as nutrition, elderly and malnutrition. Results: According to most referenced articles, it appears to be unquestionable that both organic and social risk factors [economic hardship, loneliness, institutionalization] are important as determining causes of protein-caloric malnutrition. Some anthropometric, clinical and laboratory parameters can help to make diagnosis and quantify malnutrition. However, most of them are not cheap or are not simple to perform especially in the setting of General Practice. The application of a simple questionnaire [Mini Nutritional Assessment, MNA] allows to obtain in a fast, easy and non-invasive way a valid assessment of the nutritional status in geriatric patients. The maintenance of the nutritional status is the best measure to counteract the risk of proteincaloric malnutrition and its complications which often sneakily affects elderly population and in particular frail patients. Conclusion: This review, based on updated concepts, examines all the above mentioned points together with some aspects associated with malnutrition as an indicator of disease severity and health costs in the elderly population. Finally, the impact of nutritional intervention and nutrients supplementation on general indices of malnutrition are discussed as a promising strategy.

INTRODUCTION:Pediatric parenteral nutrition is mainly used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and requires close collaboration with the hospital pharmacy, especially for manufacturing time, application, preparation and delivery (1). In this context, a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to evaluate an automatic system compared with a manual system was carried out.METHODS:The Decision-oriented HTA (DoHTA) method (2), coordinated by Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital (BGCH) HTA Unit, was applied to carefully assess the technology. It was developed starting from the European Network for HTA (EUnetHTA) Core Model® and integrated with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Its purpose is to identify all the relevant assessment aspects of automatic system integrating the evidence from the scientific literature with experts’ judgments and the specific context analysis for BGCH: an evaluation scheme inherent safety, clinical effectiveness, technical and organizational aspects (represented by a decision tree at three levels: dimensions of evaluation, I and II level indicators) was subsequently created. A weight was finally associated to each identified element and the alternatives’ ranking was defined.RESULTS:The study results show a “performance value” associated with the automatic system greater than about thirty-two percentage points compared to the manual system.CONCLUSIONS:At the current state of the scientific evidence and the results of analysis carried out by the working group, it is believed that the choice should be made to introduce the automatic system is available in BGCH.More specifically, from the point of view of safety, automatic system is safer for both patient and operators; about clinical effectiveness, the system improves the nutritional intake, allows a reduction of post-infusional adverse events and the use of antibiotic therapy; concerning economic aspects, the analysis of available data shows a substantial equivalence between the alternatives considered; the technical-functional aspects show an improvement according to almost all indicators; organizational aspects show a slight improvement in the working and in process management and finally the legal aspects indicate a slight advantage for the automatic system.

Economically, migration affects Maghribi foreign currency earnings, balance of payments, employment rates, entrepreneurship and national economic development generally. Politically, it affects both Maghribi internal politics and relations with Europe. The sociocultural effects of migration are perhaps the most profound, touching aspects of North African life such as dress, music, architecture and nutrition, as well as deeper levels of beliefs and values, such as family structures, child-rearing practices and gender roles—aspects of culture that have generally been thought to be resistant to change.

Home economics operates in the academic, curriculum and social realms, as well as in everyday life. Due to its multidisciplinarity, it includes and interconnects the contents of different disciplines (e.g., healthy lifestyle, nutrition, dietetics, textiles, home, family, consumption, personal and family economics, design and technology), which are considered in terms of meeting the needs of the individual, family, and society. Home economics education and literacy play an important role in acquiring knowledge and skills that help raise the quality of life of the individual, family, and society. With the development of society, the needs of both the individual and the family are changing; therefore, changes are also needed in home economics education, which is reflected in the updating of the subject curricula. The goals and contents in the curriculum must reflect and meet the needs of the current society and take into account the cultural dependence and social determinism of the home economics field. To a certain extent, the current curriculum of the subject home economics in Slovene elementary schools already includes some content areas that have been recognised as important for meeting the needs of society. These relate to healthy lifestyle, nutrition, health, textiles, consumption, economics, family, environment and sustainable development. Given the perceived needs of society, the use of household appliances, home contents, and first aid should be additionally included in home economics education in Slovenia, and students should be encouraged to develop social and communication skills. It is also necessary to consider the appropriate placement of the subject in the curriculum, as it is necessary to implement home economics education in the entire elementary school education. Doing so will enable the acquisition of knowledge and skills needed in society and, therefore, the appropriate level of home economics literacy of the individual.

This paper summarizes the features of the functioning of e-commerce in Ukraine. It has been proven that the activity of e-shops as important subjects of the e-commerce market is under-regulated. This leads to consumer dissatisfaction with service quality in the online environment. The necessity of criteria creation was shown, which give them opportunities to e-shops management improve their service and enhance the level of satisfaction of target consumers, primarily based on the effective use of the newest method of promoting goods and services in e-commerce - inbound marketing on the example of infant nutrition. Rating evaluation of functional characteristics of infant nutrition e-shops was done using methods of multicriteria analysis, namely the COPRAS method. It is determined that the functionality and convenience of the e-shop are the main criteria that shape their competitive advantage. The focus of the paper is concentrated on the building rationale for promotion e-shops with the latest inbound marketing techniques. Peculiarities of using different inbound marketing tools on each stage were defined, which implicate a change of Internet-user status from visitor to promoter. An example of evaluating existing alternatives for promoting e-shop (inbound marketing, outbound marketing, or no promotion, in general, was provided). In particular, the decision-making process for choosing promotional tools for infant nutrition e-shop was schematized with the basis of alternatives evaluation by using one of the most common decision-making tools – decision tree. The economic effectiveness of using inbound marketing tools in comparison with outbound marketing tools was proven. The proposed methodological approach can be used by e-shop management for substantiation of management decisions on optimization of goods and services promotion and will increase the loyalty of target audience and popularize brands in e-commerce. Keywords: COPRAS method, decision-tree, e-commerce, e-shop, inbound marketing, infant nutrition, lead, outbound marketing, promotion.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractsThe present paper presents a certain number of cultural elements which interact in the determination of the frequency of food intake. Approaches from various perspectives (historical, ethnological, anthropological, sociological) draw attention to two major aspects relating to the periodicity of food intake: the extreme cultural diversity and the continual modifications which have occurred over time and space. The various cultural models change and are subject to multiple influences, for example, cross-cultural, economic and historical. In addition, there are interactions between the models. The definitions of food intake and frequency play a major role in building up consumers' perceptions. These various perceptions are multiple (perception of self, of food and its virtues, the rules and moral values of consumption) and finally influence behaviours. Finally, and taking into account the systems of beliefs, the very nature of feeding behaviours may carry feelings of guilt for the subject. The study of real behaviours and their relationship with health is still incomplete for reasons of methodology and also of conceptual definition. In future, data collection has to take into account real behaviour as well as subjective perceptions and value judgements. A specific effort has to be made in the future to develop methodology. This should allow the collection of reliable data and particularly comparisons between studies, without oversimplifying and distorting cultural specificities.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change can have economic consequences, affecting the nutritional intake of populations and increasing food insecurity, as it negatively affects diet quality parameters. One way to mitigate these consequences is to change the way we produce and consume our food. A healthy and sustainable diet aims to promote and achieve the physical, mental, and social well-being of the populations at all life stages, while protecting and safeguarding the resources of the planet and preserving biodiversity. Over the past few years, several indexes have been developed to evaluate dietary sustainability, most of them based on the EAT-Lancet reference diet. The present review explains the problems that arise in human nutrition as a result of climate change and presents currently available diet sustainability indexes and their applications and limitations, in an effort to aid researchers and policy actors in identifying aspects that need improvement in the development of relevant indexes. Overall, great heterogeneity exists among the indicators included in the available indexes and their methodology. Furthermore, many indexes do not adequately account for the diets’ environmental impact, whereas others fall short in the economic impact domain, or the ethical aspects of sustainability. The present review reveals that the design of one environmentally friendly diet that is appropriate for all cultures, populations, patients, and geographic locations is a difficult task. For this, the development of sustainable and healthy diet recommendations that are region-specific and culturally specific, and simultaneously encompass all aspects of sustainability, is required.

Full textAbstract:
Food systems undergo rapid changes in response to economic and market forces, and environmental and dietary changes. This study aimed to disentangle adaptation strategies in farm households balancing interests in the commercial aspects of farming and the consumption of nutritious foods. The area of interest was Central Myanmar, Pakokku region. A literature-based framework was used to identify entry points for adaptation strategies at the farm household level. A purposive sampling strategy was used to select smallholders (<5 acres), engaged in market-oriented agriculture (≥10 years). In 14 households, in-depth interviews were conducted, using a life course perspective depicting the household history in relation to agricultural developments and household food and nutrition security. The narratives of smallholders confirmed that household food and nutrition security was grounded in mixed livelihood strategies, including migration. Diet quality depended largely on income. Supportive strategies were a frugal lifestyle, responsible use of resources, participation in community activities, and different forms of social innovation. The study shows how the understanding of local diets provides insights in entry points for nutrition-sensitive agriculture, and suggests a need for alternative adaptation strategies, replacing those promoting specialization and intensification, for more holistic solutions that reinforce the flexibility and resilience of farmers.

The protein fraction has been studied most, but research on other nutrients from insects and a deeper understanding of beneficial aspects of the use of insects is gaining traction. Since September 2021 it is legally allowed to include insect proteins in feed for poultry and pigs and the number of publications on applications of insect products in these livestock animals is increasing. Publishing open access ensures the engagement of all stakeholders in the insect chain and parties involved in using the end products in animal feed. For this reason, the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed has composed an open access special issue focussing on applications of insect products in monogastric animal nutrition. The special issue touches on aspects related to nutrition, health, welfare, safety, socio-economic and consumer issues.

Full textAbstract:
Aims and Objectives. This study aimed to investigate barriers for nutrition therapy in the transition between hospital and home and hereby to identify areas for potential improvements.Background. Though the focus on nutritional risk is improving in hospital, there seems to be less effort to maintain or even improve nutritional status after discharge and during the rehabilitation period.Design. Qualitative focus group interviews.Methods. Semistructured focus group interviews with experienced multiprofessional staff from hospital, home care, nursing homes, and general practise. The study was done in the county of Aalborg with about 280.000 inhabitants regarding homecare and general practise as well as Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark.Results. Interviews were generated with 41 professionals from hospital, general practise, and home care. Barriers identified between settings included the following aspects: economic, organisation, and education. The impression of professionals was that few patients are discharged with nutrition therapy, compared to who could benefit from nutrition therapy after discharge. Most often, reasons were a short in-hospital stay and lack of knowledge and interest. Moreover, lack of clinical guidelines throughout all settings, time consumption, lack of transparency regarding economy and workflows, and lack of assistance from experts regarding complicated nutritional problems were identified.Conclusions. Many barriers were found in hospital as well as in the community and general practise. These were most often practical as well as organizational. Improvements of clinical guidelines and instructions and improvement of knowledge and communication at all levels are needed.Relevance to Clinical Practise. This study emphasizes that responsibility needs to be taken for patients whom are still at nutritional risk at discharge, and even before hospitalization. Nurses and doctors in and outside hospital are in need of improved knowledge, standard care plans, and instructions.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of the research was to investigate the effect of dietary natural or biotic additives such as garlic, black pepper, and chili pepper powder in poultry nutrition on sustainable and economic efficiency of this type of production. A total of eight dietary treatments with 1200 broiler chickens of hybrid line Hubbard were formed, with four replicates. During the experimental period, chickens were fed with three period mixtures diets of different average costs: Starter compound mixture two weeks (0.38 €/kg in all treatments), grower compound mixture next three weeks (0.36, 0.38, 0.40, 0.41, 0.46, 0.39, 0.42, and 0.39 €/kg, respectively), and finisher compound mixture for the final week (0.34, 0.36, 0.38, 0.39, 0.44, 0.37, 0.40, and 0.37 €/kg, respectively). The experiment lasted a total of 42 days. Upon finishing the experiment, results have shown statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences regarding the European broiler index (EBI) as one of the indicators of economic efficacy. The EBI was lowest in the control treatment (220.4) and significantly higher in experimental treatments (298.6), respectively. In cost, a calculation included the cost of feed and used natural or biotic supplements in chicken nutrition. The findings of the study of economic efficiency revealed that the cost per treatment rises depends on the natural additive used. Economic efficiency analysis showed that the most economical natural additive with the lowest cost is garlic (0.68 €/kg), while the most uneconomical is treatment with black pepper with the highest cost of body weight gain (0.82 €/kg). This higher cost of the gained meat is minimal as a consequence of a much healthier and more nutritious food meant for human use, which often promotes sustainable aspects, compared to conventional and industrialized poultry production.
