| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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) |

| 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 |
