Book Description
Las ultimas décadas son testigos de avances científicos que documentan claramente la interdependencia entre la nutrición, la salud, y el desarrollo de la sociedad. Esta interdependencia ocurre a nivel familiar, comunitario, local, y mundial. La nutrición temprana inadecuada tiene un impacto inmenso y permanente en la salud a largo plazo. Durante los primeros mil días de vida (la etapa fetal hasta los primeros dos años de vida) la nutrición del individuo define no solo el desarrollo físico y potencial cognitivo, sino que en gran medida determina la programación metabólica, inmunológica, y modula los comportamientos alimentarios del individuo - para toda su vida. Además, el efecto y el impacto de esta programación es transgeneracional. Este libro incluye como objetivo definir y describir los elementos básicos de la evaluación nutricional, así como los mecanismos y consecuencias a corto y largo plazo de la nutrición adecuada e inadecuada en las diferentes etapas de la vida temprana. Los contenidos son producto de un laudable esfuerzo de expertos mexicanos en el campo científico, clínico y académico, y constituye una herramienta de utilidad para la difusión y educación en nutrición de todos aquellos que pueden contribuir a la salud de los niños y futuros miembros de la sociedad.

Nutrition and Human Reproduction

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468407902
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
This book is the product of the Conference on Nutrition and Human Reproduction, supported and organized by the National Insti tutes of Child Health and Human Development, and held at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, in February 1977. The genesis of this Conference came from the work of the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Fertility of the Committee on International Nutrition Programs of the National Research Council. The purpose of the Conference was to assemble scientists and program planners from a broad range of fields including nutrition, epidemiology, demography, endocrinology, sociology, economics, anthropology, biostatistics and public health. Each individual brought his or her analytical skills and perspective to the meeting, with the goal of developing a more coherent picture of the many facets of nutrition and reproduction. The approach was to get a more comprehensive view by: 1. Clarifying terminology and definitions. 2. Reviewing recent and current work on the biological basis for nutrition-fertility interactions. 3. Reviewing biomedical and socioeconomic factors related to breast-feeding to assess how this practice relates to maternal and infant nutrition and fertility. 4. Assessing some current analytical models for defining nutrition-fertility interrelationships. 5. Reviewing recent field studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America which are examining the interrelationships of nutrition and reproduction.

Molecular Nutrition and Diabetes
Author: Didac Mauricio
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128017619
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Molecular Nutrition and Diabetes: A Volume in the Molecular Nutrition Series focuses on diabetes as a nutritional problem and its important metabolic consequences. Fuel metabolism and dietary supply all influence the outcome of diabetes, but understanding the pathogenesis of the diabetic process is a prelude to better nutritional control. Part One of the book provides general coverage of nutrition and diabetes in terms of dietary patterns, insulin resistance, and the glucose-insulin axis, while Part Two presents the molecular biology of diabetes and focuses on areas such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, insulin resistance, high-fat diets, nutriceuticals, and lipid accumulation. Final sections explore the genetic machinery behind diabetes and diabetic metabolism, including signaling pathways, gene expression, genome-wide association studies, and specific gene expression. While the main focus of each chapter is the basic and clinical research on diabetes as a nutritional problem, all chapters also end with a translational section on the implications for the nutritional control of diabetes. - Offers updated information and a perspective on important future developments to different professionals involved in the basic and clinical research on all major nutritional aspects of diabetes mellitus - Explores how nutritional factors are involved in the pathogenesis of both type1 and type2 diabetes and their complications - Investigates the molecular and genetic bases of diabetes and diabetic metabolism through the lens of a rapidly evolving field of molecular nutrition

A review of studies examining the link between food insecurity and malnutrition
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251309426
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
A review of 120 studies published since 2006 was undertaken to examine the relationship between food insecurity at the household or individual level and the following nutrition indicators: child stunting, child wasting, low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding of infants < 6 months of age, anaemia in women of reproductive age, child overweight and adult obesity. While there is some evidence of a direct association between food insecurity and stunting for children in lower-middle and upper-middle income countries, evidence of links between food insecurity and either child wasting or overweight is almost absent, with the exception of an association with overweight among girls in middle- and high-income countries. The obesity–food insecurity link is most predominant among women in high-income countries, while it is almost absent in men. In addition, food insecurity increases the risk for low birth weight in infants and anaemia in women. Methodological concerns that pose challenges for valid comparison of results relate to study design, data analysis techniques, use of different indicators of household/individual food security and malnutrition, and the limited availability of high-quality micro-level data from large-scale surveys. Most studies report correlation rather than causal associations between food insecurity and nutrition indicators; longitudinal micro-level data from large-scale surveys can help establish causal association and capture the dynamic nature of food insecurity. Food insecurity emerges as a predictor of undernutrition as well as overweight and obesity, highlighting the need for multisectoral strategies and policies to combat food insecurity and multiple forms of malnutrition.
