Book Description
This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Book Description
Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.

Book Description
Las comidas preparadas en establecimientos de hostelería: bares, restaurantes, hoteles, y en otro tipo de empresas de elaboración y servicio de comidas para colectividades, pueden constituir un riesgo sanitario si se contaminan con peligros de tipo biológico, químico o físico durante su preparación y servicio, sirviendo como vehículo de infección o intoxicaciones, con el consiguiente impacto en la salud pública. Dada la importancia en la actividad económica y el empleo que tiene actualmente el sector de comidas preparadas en nuestro país, por la gran cantidad de raciones que a diario se sirven en estos establecimientos, es necesario garantizar que la preparación y suministro de comidas preparadas no ponga en peligro la salud de los clientes, mediante la implantación de medidas de higiene y autocontroles de la seguridad alimentaria por parte de las empresas y del personal manipulador de alimentos. Este texto pretende contribuir a la formación de los manipuladores de alimentos del sector de comidas preparadas, como guía didáctica útil para obtener el certificado de formación necesario para el acceso a un puesto de trabajo en cocina o servicio, o para su actualización. Al mismo tiempo, puede servir como texto de consulta para otros lectores interesados en aumentar sus conocimientos en esta materia.

Es importante que los manipuladores de alimentos, quienes se encargan de asegurar la inocuidad del alimento en cada una de las etapas productivas, posean conocimientos adecuados sobre las condiciones higiénicas - sanitarias que deben cumplir en su lugar de trabajo, con el fin de minimizar el riesgo de contaminación de los alimentos. Por esta razón, los técnicos y profesionales representantes de diferentes instituciones y que hacen parte de la mesa interinstitucional de calidad e inocuidad de la Red de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional de Caldas, acordaron conjuntamente con su experiencia unificar conceptos teórico-prácticos para la elaboración de la "Guía para orientar la capacitación a manipuladores de alimentos", dirigida a todos los técnicos de saneamiento, profesionales, instituciones y particulares que se encuentren inmersos en los procesos de formación y capacitación en esta área, logrando afianzar conocimientos de una forma clara y fácil mediante las diferentes herramientas expuestas para abordar los diferentes temas.

Book Description
This book brings together the scientific evidence on the main effects of transport on human health and the environment. It sets the conceptual framework for future analyses of the health burden and health gains from transport policies. It outlines how these health concerns have been reflected in policy tools such as impact assessment, regulation and economic analysis, and identifies the areas where action is most needed. Discussions of the environment and health effects of transport need to be communicated in a way that is relevant for policy-makers and easily understood by nonscientists. That is the aim of this book, which summarizes the results of extensive reviews of the issues prepared by groups of prominent international experts. It is also planned to release the reviews themselves, to give a more detailed account of the scientific evidence. [Foreword]
