|
Cardio vacular disease
Obesity Diabetes Hypertension Cancer |
|

|
Low fat, low sugar, high fiber, LITTLE variety, carbs as staples. --> inadequate in energy and or nutrients --> undernutrition and increased risk of infection
|
|

|
|
Malnutrition begins during pregnancy, the fetus is deficient in________
|
vitamin B12 and Iron
|
|
Low Birth Weight Infants have____ and ______. This results in __________
|
high infant mortality rate and a depressed immunity. This results in small weak children who are shorter than usual and undernourised as adults
|
|
What are the two main causes of undernutrition?
|
1. Food Shortages
2. Poor quality diets |
|
Food shortages care caused by _____
|
1. famine due to diaster, poverty, disease
2. Poverty: food insecurity, disease, less access to education 3. Overpopulation: less developed countries have massive population growth which puts a strain on the environment 3. culatural practices 4. limited environment resources: not enough arable land |
|
Poor quality diets are deficient in _______, ________, and _______. They are ________ energy malnutritive.
|
vitamin a, iron, and iodine. They are protein energy malnutritve
|
|
Protein Energy Malnutrition and two diseases associated with it.
|
the wasting and increasing infection rates dut to insufficient kcal and protein to meet needs.
1) marasmus 2)Kwashiorkor |
|
Marasmus
|
lack of energy and skinny (look similar to someone who is anorexic)
associated with Protein Energy malnutrition |
|
Kwarhiorkor
|
sufficient calorie intake but not enough protein. Eatting too many grains. Infections and inflated bellys.
associated with Protein Energy malnutrition |
|
Causes of Iron Deficiency
|
Caused by not eatting meat, loss of blood, not eatting an iron source with vitamin C.
|
|
Effects of Iron Deficiency
|
Leads to increased risk of maternal/fetal mortality, premature births, low birth weight babies, slow mental development, decreased resistance to infection, fatigue, kids who get sick more often
|
|
what causes an Iodine Deficency
|
Not enough salt or things grown near the sea, regions with deficient soil (prevented with iodized salt)
|
|
Effects of Iodine deficiency
|
stillborn babies, impaired cognitive development, cretinism (stunted growth and cognitive abilities), in adults can cause poor decision making, goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
it is the greatest cause of preventable developmental problems. |
|
Effects of Vitamin A deficiency
|
leading cause of preventable blindness, affects more than 250 million preschool children, causes blindness, depressed immunitiy, and slows growth.
Need for Vit A increases with infections |
|
Malnutrition In Utero: common deficiencies and consequences
|
energy, iodine, and folate.
results in low birth weight, brain damage, neural tube defects |
|
Malnutrition in infants: common deficiencies and consequences
|
protein, energy, iron, iodine, vitamin A. results in growth retardation, anemia, development retardation, goiter, and infection/blindness
|
|
Malnutrition in Adolescents: common deficiencies and consequences
|
protein, energy, iron, iodine, vitamin A, calcium. Results in delayed growth, anemia, impaired intellectual development, infection/blindness, inadequate bone mineralization
|
|
Malnutrition in Pregnant Women: common deficiencies and consequences
|
Protein energy, folate, iron, iodine, vitamin A. results in intrauterine growth retardation, increased mortality of mother and baby, maternal anemia, neural tube defects, cretinism in infant, goiter in mother, infection, blindness
|
|
Malnutrition in Elderly Adults
|
energy, calcium and protein. results in lethargy, thinness, osteoporosis fractures
|
|
Malnutrition in Adults: common deficiencies and consequences
|
energy, protein, iron. results in thinness, lethargy, anemia
|
