Abstract:

Introduction: Nutrition literacy is the ability to search, obtain, understand, and apply nutrition information. Low nutrition literacy may cause a negative impact in eating patterns and nutritional status. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutrition literacy with eating pattern and nutritional status among medical students in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. Methods: This study was a descriptive analytic cross-sectional study among 97 medical students of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. Nutrition literacy was measured with The Newest Vital Sign questionnaire. Food consumption data was collected with the 24-hours recall questionnaire. Nutritional status was measured based on body mass index (BMI). Research data were analyzed using the Rank Spearman test. Results: Based on the data analysis, there were 66% of students with adequate nutrition literacy, 66,3% of students with improper diet, and 44,3% of students with normal nutritional status. The bivariate result showed that there was no association between nutrition literacy with nutritional status (P = 0,057), nutrition literacy and eating pattern for carbohydrates (P = 0,562), protein (P = 0,876), and fat (P = 0,569).Conclusions: There was no association between nutrition literacy with eating pattern and nutritional status among medical students in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia.

Abstract:

The integration of genomics into nutritional sciences has illuminated the complexity of genome responses to nutritional exposures while offering opportunities to increase the effectiveness of nutritional interventions, both clinical and population based. Nutrients elicit multiple physiological responses that affect genome stability, imprinting, expression, and viability. These effects confer both health benefits and risks, some of which may not become apparent until later in life. Nutritional genomics challenges us to understand the reciprocal and complex interactions among the human genome and dietary components in normal physiology and pathophysiology. Understanding these interactions will refine current definitions of benefit and risk and lead to the establishment of dietary recommendations that have a high predictive value, minimize the risk of unintended consequences, and account for the modifying effects of human genetic variation. Furthermore, nutritional genomics will enable the design of effective dietary regimens for the prevention and management of complex chronic disease. This review focuses on new perspectives that have been presented to the nutritional sciences by the advent of genomics, and new challenges that demand attention because of their potential impact on, and immediate translation into, current public health nutrition recommendations and interventions.

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.

Abstract:

Nutrition impinges on virtually all aspects of an animal's life, including social interactions. Recent advances in nutritional ecology show how social animals often trade-off individual nutrition and group cohesion when foraging in simplified experimental environments. Here, we explore how the spatial structure of the nutritional landscape influences these complex collective foraging dynamics in ecologically realistic environments. We introduce an individual-based model integrating key concepts of nutritional geometry, collective animal behaviour and spatial ecology to study the nutritional behaviour of animal groups in large heterogeneous environments containing foods with different abundance, patchiness and nutritional composition. Simulations show that the spatial distribution of foods constrains the ability of individuals to balance their nutrient intake, the lowest performance being attained in environments with small isolated patches of nutritionally complementary foods. Social interactions improve individual regulatory performances when food is scarce and clumpy, but not when it is abundant and scattered, suggesting that collective foraging is favoured in some environments only. These social effects are further amplified if foragers adopt flexible search strategies based on their individual nutritional state. Our model provides a conceptual and predictive framework for developing new empirically testable hypotheses in the emerging field of social nutrition. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Physiological determinants of social behaviour in animals’.

Abstract:

Nutritional sciences have been recognized as being of paramount importance for the prevention of non-communicable diseases. Among others, mental health disorders have been hypothesized to be influenced by dietary risk through a variety of molecular mechanisms. The improvements in the technology and implementation of-omics sciences in terms of nutrition have created the possibility of studying the relation between diet, gut microbiota and mental health. The gut–brain–axis represents the core rationale setting the stage for a relatively new discipline of study defined as “nutritional psychiatry”. Research on this matter will help to better understand the relation between food and mood, sleep quality, cognition, and mental health in general.

Abstract:

Introduction. Adequate nutrition combined with physical activity is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Recreational sportspersons should know how to adjust their nutrition to physical activity in order to benefit their health. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional knowledge of recreationally active people and to assess the influence of BMI and gender on the level of nutritional knowledge. Material and methods. The study was conducted with the use of 200 participants aged 15-55 years living in the city of Katowice. The respondents were physically active at least 3 times a week for at least 1 hour. Nutritional knowledge was assessed through a self-administered questionnaire. Nutritional status was assessed by means of the BMI index, and for its assessment, the ranges recommended by the World Health Organization were adopted. Results. Most of the respondents - 33.5% (n=77) declared that they practiced weight training, 15.5% (n=31) attended group fitness classes, 14.5% (n=29) practiced running, fewer people practiced team sports and cycling. The nutrition knowledge of the majority of the respondents was at a sufficient level (n=136), 44 respondents had good nutrition knowledge and 22 respondents had insufficient nutrition knowledge. None of the respondents had very good nutrition knowledge. More than 70% of respondents had normal BMI (n=142), more than 25% (n=51) were overweight, and 7 subjects had BMI values below normal. Conclusions. There was no relationship between gender, BMI, and level of nutritional knowledge. The study shows that there is a need for nutritional education for recreational sportsmen.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The cultivation of fruit trees is influenced by abiotic factors such as nutritional management. However, fertilizers are used in large amounts in vineyards, resulting in excess nutrients that can cause stress and reduce fruit quality. Calcium (Ca) is one of the most used nutrients in vineyards due to its effects on fruit quality. However, excess of Ca interferes with the distribution of Ca compounds in fruits, being a form of abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the nutritional balance of table grape orchards on calcium nutrition and fruit quality. Nineteen table grape orchards were selected in the Submédio São Francisco Valley in 2019 and 2020 crops. The nutritional diagnosis was performed using the integrated diagnosis and recommendation system (DRIS) and the average nutritional balance index (NBIm) was calculated. The concentration of Ca-pectate, Ca-total, berry firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio and dry matter were determined in the fruits. The nutritional diagnosis identified excess Ca in the orchards. The correlation between Ca-pectate and the average NBIm was negative, indicating that the Ca-pectate concentration is higher in vines that are more nutritionally unbalanced. However, the Ca-total in the fruit was not correlated with Ca-pectate. Ca-total and Ca-pectate were not correlated with berry firmness. Calcium nutrition is complex and highlights the importance of associating the assessment of nutritional balance with Ca in fruit quality to optimize the nutritional management of the grapevine.

Abstract:

Due to current and upcoming needs in the discipline and accreditation, the Nutritional Sciences faculty at a major university reformed their curriculum using backward design. As part of this process, they developed new learning outcomes that aligned to the institutional learning outcomes and mapped these new outcomes across the major’s required courses. Also, they reorganized the existing major’s single focus on biomedical nutrition into an academic program with a core curriculum and three concentrations (biomedical and molecular nutrition, global health and nutrition, and public health nutrition). The faculty designed new core and concentration courses and modified existing courses to distribute the essential learning across the major curriculum. Additionally, the committee created two service courses to fill voids in nutrition education for nonmajors. Despite abundant literature on backward and curriculum design, this process produced important learning about how to conduct and implement curriculum reform in a science-based discipline.

Abstract:

Since the Moon landing, nutritional research has been charged with the task of guaranteeing human health in space. In addition, nutrition applied to Orthopedics has developed in recent years, driven by the need to improve the efficiency of the treatment path by enhancing the recovery after surgery. As a result, nutritional sciences have specialized into two distinct fields of research: Nutritional Orthopedics and Space Nutrition. The former primarily deals with the nutritional requirements of old patients in hospitals, whereas the latter focuses on the varied food challenges of space travelers heading to deep space. Although they may seem disconnected, they both investigate similar nutritional issues. This scoping review shows what these two disciplines have in common, highlighting the mutual features between (1) pre-operative vs. pre-launch nutritional programs, (2) hospital-based vs. space station nutritional issues, and (3) post-discharge vs. deep space nutritional resilience. PubMed and Google Scholar were used to collect documents published from 1950 to 2020, from which 44 references were selected on Nutritional Orthopedics and 44 on Space Nutrition. Both the orthopedic patient and the astronaut were found to suffer from food insecurity, malnutrition, musculoskeletal involution, flavor/pleasure issues, fluid shifts, metabolic stresses, and isolation/confinement. Both fields of research aid the planning of demand-driven food systems and advanced nutritional approaches, like tailored diets with nutrients of interest (e.g., vitamin D and calcium). The nutritional features of orthopedic patients on Earth and of astronauts in space are undeniably related. Consequently, it is important to initiate close collaborations between orthopedic nutritionists and space experts, with the musculoskeletal-related dedications playing as common fuel.

Abstract:

Background and Study Aim. The aim of this study is to examine the nutritional knowledge levels and habits of the students who will work in the field of sport sciences in Turkey and who are studying in the Faculties of Sport Sciences. Material and Methods. The sample of the study consisted of 186 volunteer university students studying in the coaching departments of the Faculties of Sport Sciences, selected by simple random sampling method. General scanning model was used in the research. The data in the study were collected using the 32-item “Nutrition Knowledge Scale for Adults”. Results. Within the scope of the scores in both sub-dimensions of the scale, it was determined that the perception scores of the participants in terms of independent variables were statistically close to each other and they had knowledge about nutrition in general. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the nutritional knowledge levels according to the age variable, and the effect level was close to the middle. It was determined that there was no significant difference between other variables and nutrition. Conclusions. In addition to a healthy life, healthy nutrition is important for coaches in the continuity of their professional life. It would be beneficial to have more information about nutrition in school curriculum. This will contribute to the fight against obesity, which is today's disease.

Abstract:

Aims: It has long been considered that specific age/gender groups, such as women and children, are predisposed to nutritional vulnerability. Thus, nutritional vulnerability among agricultural households is neglected and understudied. This study aims at an empirical assessment of nutritional vulnerability dynamics among rural households in Nigeria. Study Design: Secondary data used for this study was waves 2 and 3 of the general household survey panel data. The sampling design consisted of two stages of sampling: the selection of enumeration areas based on probability proportionate to the size of the enumeration areas and the systematic random selection of ten households from each enumeration area. There were 3370 households selected in rural areas and 1630 households selected in urban areas. 2090 rural households with the required information for this study were included in the analysis. Methodology: Descriptive statistics, nutritional vulnerability score, logit regression model, Markov model, and multinomial logit regression models were used to analyse nutritional vulnerability transitions among rural households in Nigeria. Results: Nutritionally vulnerable households in rural Nigeria include those with aged heads, little or no formal education, limited assets, and no access to land or credit. Nutritional vulnerability in rural Nigeria is primarily transient, with around two-fifths of households experiencing transient nutritional vulnerability and nearly one-third experiencing chronic nutritional vulnerability. While the age of the household head, tertiary education, and access to credit all had a substantial impact on transient nutritional vulnerability, gender, tertiary education, asset value, and access to credit all had an impact on chronic nutritional vulnerability. Conclusion: Support mechanisms such as initiatives to promote access to healthy food, credit, land, and education are critical. To successfully address the issues affecting the nutrition and health of persons facing vulnerabilities, social welfare programs with interventions based on the characteristics of each vulnerable group and the predisposing factors should be adopted.

Abstract:

We present a graphical approach, which we believe can help to integrate nutrition into the broader biological sciences, and introduce generality into the applied nutritional sciences. This ‘Geometric Framework’ takes account of the fact that animals need multiple nutrients in changing amounts and balance, and that nutrients come packaged in foods that are often hard to find, dangerous to subdue and costly to process. We then show how the Geometric Framework has been used to understand the links between nutrition and relevant aspects of the biology of individual animals. These aspects include the physiological mechanisms that direct the nutritional interactions of the animal with its environment, and the fitness consequences of these interactions. Having considered the implications of diet for individuals, we show that these effects can translate into the collective behaviour of groups and societies, and in turn ramify throughout food webs to influence the structure of ecosystems.

Abstract:

Anemia is a significant health issue in society, and it is prevalent, including in Indonesia. This condition can substantially impact the economy, health, and social well-being. This research aims to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, compliance with iron supplement tablet consumption, and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls at Al-Ishlah Vocational School in the year 2023. This study aims to contribute to developing knowledge related to public health, especially in nutrition and anemia. The research adopts a quantitative approach with an analytical method and a cross-sectional design, using purposive sampling to select 47 female adolescents from a population of 143 students. Data analysis involves univariate and bivariate analyses conducted using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings reveal no significant relationship between nutritional knowledge and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls (p=0.654). Similarly, there is no significant correlation between nutritional status and the occurrence of anemia in these adolescents (p=0.442). Additionally, there is no significant relationship between compliance with iron supplement tablet consumption and the incidence of anemia in the same group of adolescent girls (p=1.000). Recommendations include collaborative efforts between schools and healthcare services to enhance adolescent nutrition, regular monitoring for anemia prevention, health departments implementing policies to enhance nutrition education in schools, school nutrition campaigns, educational activities, and institutions contributing to developing more effective strategies.

Abstract:

Objective: Nutritional problem in school age children is common throughout the India. Occurrence of nutritional problems like anaemia, scurvy, ricket and protein energy malnutrition (PEM) may develop due to lack of knowledge and awareness. Poor knowledge on nutrition among children can lead to unhealthy community. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of school-based nutrition awareness package on the development of nutritional knowledge of school children at rural areas of West Medinipur district. Material & Methods: Total 827 secondary school children were selected randomly from class VII to IX of three different schools of West Medinipur comprising 433 boys and 394 girls. To access the awareness level, a peer-reviewed, scoring system questionnaire was applied. The nutrition education was imparted through lectures, audiovisual aids and demonstrations for three months in school settings. Before and after imparting nutrition education, the changes in knowledge, attitude and practices regarding good nutrition was evaluated by questionnaire method. Results: After delivery of nutrition education, a significant improvement in their nutritional knowledge was observed. Nutritional knowledge was improved significantly on anaemia (p≤0.001), scurvy (p≤0.001), ricket (p≤0.001) and PEM (p≤0.001) at post-awareness stage. The analysis of data also inferred that the students scoring more marks in management part of deficiency diseases which is important during their future life. The study was successful in identifying certain gaps in their knowledge, attitude and practices before imparting nutrition education.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the prescription of protein-calorie nutrition and its adequacy to the requirements of preterm newborns. Methods Prospective study with 30 preterm infants from a neonate intensive unit care. Anthropometric and nutritional therapy data were collected daily. Nutritional demands were defined according to the national guidelines. Protein-calorie nutritional support was considered adequate when it reached 70% of the calculated demand. The evolution of nutritional status was evaluated according to the growth curves of preterm infants. Statistical analyses were performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 20.0, at a 5% significance level. Results The means of demand, prescription and infusion significantly differed from each other. The values of calories and proteins prescribed and infused were inadequate according to the calculated ones. There was no significant difference between the volume of prescribed and administered nutrition (p>0.05). At birth, 30% of the children were small, 66.7% were adequate, and 3.3% were large for gestational age. At discharge, the percentages were 33.3%; 63.3%; 3.3%, respectively. The values at birth significantly differed from those at discharge (p<0.01). Conclusion In the Unit of Neonatal Care studied, inadequate nutrient prescription and support is a factor that can compromise the nutritional status of the newborns at hospital discharge.

Abstract:

The article provides a brief overview of the issues of nutritional therapy in the rehabilitation of cancer patients. Excess sugar in food and drink, fatty and high-calorie foods, processed meat, trans fatty acids, preservatives and dyes are risk factors for the formation of malignant tumors. Patients should be informed about adherence to a healthy lifestyle and exclusion from the diet of foods containing carcinogens to reduce the recurrence of the disease. Chemotherapy courses and radiation sessions are accompanied by a number of side effects that lead to a decrease in the body's defense systems. For the recovery of cancer patients, protein, vitamins and minerals must be present in the diet. All nutrients are better obtained from the natural foods. To maintain a healthy diet, the World Cancer Research Foundation (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recommends you toinclude vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes in your daily diet. The article focuses on mare's milk, its multicomponent composition, which has immunomodulatory, antiviral, antibacterial properties. To increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures in patients after antitumor treatment, it is advisable to include mare's milk in medical nutrition, which has therapeutic and health-improving properties, and it is also possible to use it in patients undergoing antitumor cytostatic therapy. Further comprehensive study of the therapeutic and rehabilitation potential of mare's milk would make it possible to use this product more widely as an important component of nutritional support for cancer patients during specific therapy courses, which will have a positive effect on their survival rates and quality of life. In the treatment of malignant tumors, the main emphasis is on the development of strategies, new treatment options, and medical nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are an integral part of their complex rehabilitation.

Abstract:

The prevalence of diseases affecting human health related to the environment and inadequate nutrition is high. Strategies that seek to mitigate them have focused on lifestyle changes and healthy nutrition focusing on general guidelines that do not benefit all individuals. Therefore, new omics approaches have been proposed. The word "omics" is used as a suffix in molecular biology and consists of the study, quantification, identification and characterization of the whole or a set of molecules involved in the structure, function and dynamics of a cell, tissue or organism. Mainly genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. In this regard, human nutriomics combines food sciences with omics focused on the genome of each individual, in order to take advantage of interindividuality to promote nutritional strategies that prevent, manage and treat diseases and optimize health. However, these novel tools present challenges when implementing them and interpreting their results, so it is recommended to continue conducting research in the area and training in the management of techniques and interpretation of results for the full exploitation of nutrition in the future. This article aims to provide health professionals with general information on the different omics approaches involved in nutritional sciences in order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms focused on personalized nutrition.

Abstract:

Innovative learning strategies are constantly developed to increase student engagement and application of course content to improve learning outcomes. Gameful Learning pedagogy is one such strategy that builds students’ intrinsic motivation, confidence, and engagement to course material by allowing them to choose from a menu of optional assignments to earn points toward a grade. Little is known about student perceptions and outcomes from applying this pedagogy to dietetics and nutritional sciences graduate-level curricula. This article describes the implementation of Gameful Learning to an Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics–accredited nutritional sciences graduate degree course and evaluates student perceptions and outcomes. Two student cohorts from 2016 (pre–Gameful Learning) and 2017 (implementation of Gameful Learning) who were enrolled in a nutritional sciences graduate-level course were compared. Student teaching evaluations were compared across cohorts. Specific items measuring student perceptions of fairness, knowledge gained, and workload were analyzed. Mann–Whitney nonparametric tests compared groups and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient measured associations. There was a positive correlation between total points and optional points (Pearson’s r = 0.513, p = .0001). There was an overall increased perception toward the excellence of the course (3.82 to 4.13; 5-point Likert-type scale), improved sense of fairness (3.79 to 4.17; p = .036), and increased perception of workload (2.35 to 2.20; where 1 student indicated more work and 5 indicated less work). Although challenges in workload exist, Gameful Learning strategies aid in improving student outcomes and perceptions of course material by facilitating student autonomy and engagement with course content.

Abstract:

Background: Nutrient inadequacy during childbearing age and pregnancy is a major cause of intrauterine growth retardation of the foetus leading to other long-term health problems such as non-communicable diseases in later years. More so, child malnutrition and mortality can be majorly attributed to improper infant and young child feeding practices. Objective: This study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of nutrition education intervention on maternal nutritional knowledge among women of childbearing age in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State. Materials and Method: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed for this study and 115 women of childbearing age were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire developed from the “Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices” nutrition education handbook by United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which was administered pre and post the nutrition education. Data were vetted, coded and subjected to analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Tests were statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Below average (42.6%) of the respondents had good nutritional knowledge on breastfeeding, 42.6% had average on complementary feeding, while majority (61.8%) had good knowledge on health practices in the pre-test. The post-intervention test revealed significant improvement in their knowledge where 74.8%, 74.0% and 77.4% had good nutritional knowledge on breastfeeding, complementary feeding and health practices respectively. Testing the effectiveness of the nutrition education intervention, there was a significant difference between the pre and post nutritional knowledge test scores (p-0.00). Conclusion: The study population had an average knowledge on breastfeeding and complementary feeding before the nutrition education intervention. The post-education tests result showed improvements on their knowledge from average to good on all the practices. This shows that the nutrition education was effective in improving their maternal nutritional knowledge.

Abstract:

Objective To examine the utility of the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and serum factors for the preoperative evaluation of gastric cancer patients. Methods We examined 181 gastric cancer patients treated at the First Afliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2015 to January 2018. Nutritional assessments were administered within 48 h of admission. The body mass index (BMI) and serum factors were measured, and information on preoperative nutritional support and postoperative complications was recorded. Results Both the NRS 2002 and PG-SGA had positive correlations with age (P < 0.05), and negative correlations with albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, hemoglobin, BMI, and bodyweight (P < 0.05). The NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scores were positively correlated with each other (r = 0.683, P < 0.01), but had poor consistency (κ = 0.357, P < 0.01). During the preoperative period, 33.2% of patients received nutritional support, mainly enteral nutrition. The nutritional risk group (NRS 2002 ≥ 3) received more support than the group without nutritional risk (NRS 2002 < 3; P < 0.05). Patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition who received preoperative nutritional support had fewer postoperative complications than unsupported patients. The overall rate of complications was 12.2%, and the rate of severe complications (grade Ⅲ or above) was 5.5%. The malnutrition and nutritional risk groups had higher rates of severe complications. Conclusions The combined application of the NRS 2002, PG-SGA, BMI, and serum nutritional indices was useful for the nutritional screening and assessment of preoperative gastric cancer patients. The NRS 2002 and PG-SGA provided guidance on the need for nutritional support during the preoperative period.

Abstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common urinary tract diseases in children of all ages. Risk factors for UTI include age, sex, poor nutrition/nutritional status, uncircumcised boys, personal hygiene, urinary emptying dysfunction, and genitourinary tract abnormalities. It is already known that infection can worsen the nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and UTI in children, the incidence of UTI in children with under nutrition, poor nutrition, and over nutrition, and to compare the incidence of UTI in children with normal nutrition, undernutrition, poor nutrition, and over nutrition. This was a literature review study. The results showed that nutritional status and UTI had a significant relationship. Malnutrition or over nutrition could increase the incidence of UTI. Differences in the incidence of UTI in 12 articles were caused by a variety of factors, such as numbers of boys and girls in the studies, age, environment, and the ways to collect urine samples. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of UTI. Poor nutritional status especially malnutrition and over nutrition could increase the incidence of UTI.Keywords: urinary tract infection (UTI); nutritional status; malnutrition; obesity Abstrak: Infeksi saluran kemih (ISK) merupakan salah satu penyakit saluran kemih yang sering terjadi pada anak dalam semua usia.
