three general categories of nutritional status | desirable, under-nutrition, over-nutrition |
nutritional assessment | evaluation of nutritional status through measurements of food and nutrient in take and evaluation of nutrition-related health indicators |
5 purposes of nutrition assessment | determine prevalence of chronic disease/malnutrition, high risk individuals, needs assessment, measurement, evaluation |

DRI | umbrella term to include current standards for nutrient recommendations |
EAR | intake level to meet nutrient requirements of 50% of healthy individuals, prevent classic deficiency diseases and maintain metabolic pathways (not an intake goal) |

AI | used if insufficient data available to calculate EAR (frequently used for infants) |

uses of DRIs (3) | assessing nutrient intakes of individuals and groups, planning nutrient intakes, address health promotion/disease prevention |
3 common approaches to assessing diet | comparing intake of certain nutrients to a standard, comparing food groups to a standard, evaluating both at once |

proposed changes to nutrition facts label (nutrition science)- 4 | added sugars, update daily values, required vs voluntary nutrients, remove calories from fat |

4 challenges of estimating intake | weaknesses of data-gathering techniques, human behavior, variability in intake and requirements, limitations of databases |
5 factors affecting choice of dietary analysis method | literacy, memory, interest, communication, culture |
5 factors to consider in dietary analysis method | time frame, sample size, number of measures per person, cost, data analysis |
strengths of 24-hour recall (3) | low burden, non-diet altering, single for groups/multiple for individual |
limitations of 24-hour recall (5) | single recall, memory, under/over reporting, omissions/phantom foods, data entry |
5 step pass | quick list, meal specifics, forgotten foods, detail, review |
strengths of food records (4) | not based on memory, more representative than 1-day, fewer phantom foods, greater detail |
limitations of food records (5) | analysis, burden, writing down may alter report, bites don't get recorded, literacy/knowledge |
#1 source of error in recalls/diaries | portion size |
amorphous foods | take on the shape of the container |
three types of FFQ | simple, semi-quantitative, quantitative (also self vs interviewer administered) |
two types of variation | systematic (weekend) vs random (birthday party) |
which vitamin takes the most days to estimate intake? | vitamin A |
validity | ability of an instrument to measure what is intended |
reproducibility | ability to produce the same estimate on two more occasions |
DILQ validation | researchers used observation of school lunch to validate Day in the Life questionnaire |
use adipose to measure | linoleic acid |
use plasma to measure | TG, carotenoids, lycopene, vitamin C, vitamin E |
use nitrogen to measure | protein intake **assuming nitrogen balance |
strengths of biomarkers (2) | easily accessible, provides a validity check of dietary intake |
limitations of biomarkers (2) | affected by factors other than diet, many nutrients do not have good biomarkers |
goals of nutritional monitoring (3) | dietary/nutritional status of a population, quality of food, changes in a population's intake |
KAB assessments | knowledge, attitude, behavior |
monitoring vs surveillance | quantitative, precise vs. local and less precise measures |
goals of monitoring/surveillance (2) | ID high risk groups/geographic areas, assess progress toward achieving healthy people objectives |
how do we use survey data? (3) | nutrition-related programs, development of regulations, research |
NHANES stands for | national health and nutrition examination survey |
NHANES comprised of | detailed interviews and comprehensive examinations |
achievements of NHANES (5) | folate, lead, smoking, growth charts, DRI |
___ Americans consume ___ on any given day, provides ___ | 1 in 8, pizza, 1/4 of daily energy |
USDA and pizza promotion | helps pizza makers (McDonald's and Dominos) "dairy checkoff program" |
teens sugar | 150% average |
biggest source of calories | sugar/soda |
reasonable limit for added sugar | 10g per day |
GRAS sugar | scientific consensus (unsafe at levels consumed) |
petitions for added sugar | "added sugars" instead of "sugars", limit over-sized beverages |
Congress to nutritionists | telling nutritionists not to incorporate agricultural production and environmental factors into dietary guidelines |
Which country implemented environmental factors into dietary guidelines? | Brazil |
Commodity prices plunge | maybe will lower grocery costs, reduced foreign competition |
Obesity and depression | 43% of depressed adults are obese, more likely to obese than people w/ out depression |
Growth chart under 2 | WHO |
