NTR Care Process - 4 interrelated steps

1. Assessment
2. Diagnosis
3. Intervention
4. Monitoring/Evaluation

Evolution of RDAs to DRI

Replaced by DRIs due to limitations - no recs for older adults, no recs for macronutrients, no guidance for nutrient supplements

Purpose of DRIs

guidance for average need of a nutrient over a period of time
to maintain health in already healthy people

EAR

Estimated Average Reqiurement
Meet needs of half of healthy individuals in a group
RDA set requires EAR
2 STD

RDA

2 STD above EAR
Estimation of avg physiological requirement for an absorbed nutrient + safety factor
Meet known nutrient need of practically all healthy individuals (98%)

AI

Adequate Intake
Used if no EAR, RDA
Based on intake of healthy population

UL

Tolerable Upper Intake Level
highest intake level that is likely to pose no risk
>UL--> Risk

AMDRs

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges
Fat: 20-35%
CHO: 45-65%
Pr-:10-35%

Antrhopometrics

Measurement of body size, weight, proportions
Ht, wt, head circumference, body fat, body water, lean body mass
Used to evaluate, monitor, and assess

Skinfold Measurements

Measures thickness of a double fold of skin + subcutaneous fat
Advantages: non-invasive, closely correlated with underwater weighing

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)

Electric current through extremities
measures impedence of electrical current
Cell mass, FF mass, Fat mass, total body H2O -> fat & bone are poor conductors of electricity

Hydrodensitometry

UWW
validation for body density
% body fat calculated from body density
fat less dense than water
Weaknesses:
Ref equations based on caucasions
All components of FFM are not constant
Must correct for lung volume --> difficult

Near Infrared Interactance (NIR)

Light absorption + reflection to measure body fat
water, pr-, fat comp
for livestock

Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry

Measure absorption of photons at 2 energy levels
Water, fat, bone, absorb photons at different rates
Most accurate assessment of body comp.

Air displacement

Chamber with known volume
Subject body volume = reduction in chamber V

EER equation

EER= REE x AF x IF

What is AF?

Thermic Effect of Activity
Energy expended during activity
second largest contributor of energy needs

What is IF?

Thermic Effect of Disease or Injury
Additional energy expended due to disease or injury

IBW

Females: 100 lbs first 5 feet + 5 pounds every inch after
Males: 106 lbs first 5 feet + 6 pounds every inch after

% IBW

current weight / IBW x 100

% Usual weight

current weight / UBW x 100
*best indicator of NTR status

% weight change

usual - current / usual x 100

Waist to hip ratio

index of regional body fat distribution
>0.9 males
>0.8 females

Gynoid obesity

pear (females)

Android obesity

Apple (males)
higher risks

Two-compartment model

Fat mass
all solvent-extractable lipids in adipose tissue and other tissues
FF mass
denser than adipose
include:
skinfold, UWW, bioelectrical impedence

Four-compartment model

Water, protein, mineral, fat
isotope dilution techniques, air displacement plethysmography

Uses of Biochem Measures

Detect abnormal NTR status BEFORE clinical signs/symptoms or change in anthropometrics
Objective data

Limitations of Biochem Measures

Method limitations
Sampling errors
Subject-related
Biological factors
Health related

Direct tests (Static)

Nutrient or it metabolite


-in blood, urine, tissue, saliva, breast milk, amniotic fluid, hair, nails, mucus, RBC, WBC
Limitations:
homeostatic regulation

Indirect tests (Functional)

End-product of a process that requires the nutrient for optimal performance
-greater biologic signifigance
-enzyme fxn or its metabolite
blood, urine, tissues, cells
-changes in blood components, abnormal metabollic products, reduction in enzyme activity

Stages of Iron Depletion

1. Depleted iron stores
-no symptoms
-low serum fettitin
-children&menstruating women
2. Iron Deficiency w/o anemia
-early/mild
-mild symptoms
-Decreased fettitin, transferrin saturation
-Increased erythrocyte protoporphyin, TIBC
3. Iron deficiency anemia
-Decreased: Hgb, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, serum iron, Hct, MCV, MCH
-Increased TIBC, erythrocyte protoporphyin

Biochem markers for dehydration

BUN, Na, K, Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP)

Somatic Protein, ways of assessing

Skeletal muscle protein
AMA, BIA, CT, MRI, DEXA
Biochem assessment:
Urinary Creatinine excretion
3 methyl histidine

Visceral Protein, ways of assessing

Organs, viscera of body (liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, etc), RBC, WBC, serum proteins
Serum proteins are synthesized in the liver

Which serum proteins are most accurate
Factors affecting serum protein levels other than inadequate intake

Albumin - most abundant, good indicator
Prealbumin - sensitive indicator of recent repletion + early stages of malnutrition
IGF-1 responds to repletion/depletion of protein, not calories alone
Factors: liver function

Positive nitrogen balance occurs when... and is seen in...

intake > loss
anabolism

Negative nitrogen balance occurs when... and is seen in...

losses>intake
low protein intake
catabolism
excessive protein loss (burns, GI, renal)

Acute phase reponse

^REE
^muscle catabolism
Inhibit Pr- synthesis & muscle repair
Expansion of extracellular fluid compartment
^ production of positive acute-phase reactants
Anorexia

What is anemia?

Blood has lower than normal # RBC's or RBC's don't contain enough Hb

What is the most common for of anemia?

Iron deficiency anemia

What are the symptoms of anemia?

fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating

What are the three main causes of anemia?

Blood loss, decreased of faulty RBC production, high rates of RBC destruction

Basic Metabolic Panel vs Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

BMP --> Ca, Na, K, CO2, Cl, BUN, Creatinine, Glucose
CMP--> Ca, Na, K, CO2, Cl, BUN, creatinine, glucose, ALT, ASP, AST, Bilirubin, Alb, Total Protein

What does the comprehensive metabolic panel check for?

Check of
1. electrolyte fluid balance
Na, K, Cl, Ca
2. kidney function
BUN, Creatinine
3. liver function
AST, ALT, Alk Phos, Bilirubin, Albumin
4. protein status
Total protein, albumin
5. Acid-base balance
CO2
6. Blood glucose

Mechanisms of Deficiency

1. Impaired dietary intake
2. Malabsorption
-pernicious anemia, surgery, parasites, drugs
3. Maldigestion
4. Impaired Metabolism
-inborn errors, drugs
5. Nutrient excretion
-wounds, blood loss, diarrhea, alcohol abuse, dialysis
6. Increased requirements
-fever, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy/lactation, trauma/illness, smoking

Effects of Drugs on Nutrients

-Alter absorption of nutrient


-^ metabolism of nutrient
-^ excretion/loss of nutrient
-metabolic effects - ^ blood lipids or glucose levels
