leading causes of death attributed to nutrition Answer: heart disease, cancer, stroke
energy yielding nutrients Answer: broken down to generate energy
- carbs, lipids, proteins
macronutrients Answer: needed in large amounts
- carbs, lipid, proteins, water
micronutrients Answer: needed in small amounts
- vitamins, minerals
inorganic Answer: does not contain carbon
organic Answer: contains carbon
amount of energy provided by carbs Answer: 4 kcals
amount of energy provided by lipids Answer: 9 kcal
amount of energy provided by protein Answer: 4 kcal
amount of energy provided by alcohol Answer: 7 kcal
examples of nutrient-dense foods Answer: low fat milk, fruit/nut trail mix, fresh fruit,
baked chips, oatmeal raisin cookies
epidemiological study Answer: observing relationships between diet, health, and
disease patterns in dif populations
balance study Answer: compares the total amount of a nutrient that enters the body
with the total amount that leaves the body
depletion-repletion study Answer: A study that feeds subjects a diet devoid of a nutrient
until signs of deficiency appear, and then adds the nutrient back to the diet to a level at
which symptoms disappear and health is restored
double blind study Answer: An experiment in which neither the participant nor the
researcher knows whether the participant has received the treatment or the placebo

,single blind study Answer: study in which the subjects do not know if they are in the
experimental or the control group
variety Answer: selecting nutrient dense foods from each food group and within each
balance Answer: one food lacking in a nutrient, balance with another food that doesnt
moderation Answer: all types of food are ok
- not consuming too much energy, fat, sugar, alc
- achieves healthy weight and lowers risk of chronic disease
Steps of the Scientific Method Answer: observation, hypothesis, experiment,
conclusion
theory vs hypothesis Answer: theory: explanation based on scientific study and
reasoning
hypothesis: proposed explanation
sources of reliable nutrition info Answer: Government recommendations, universities,
health professionals, nonprofit organizations based on science to provide information to
improve health
recommended dietary allowances Answer: intakes that meet needs of 97-98% of
healthy individs in each group
- determined using EAR value and taking into acct individ variability
- intakes lower than this can indicate deficiency
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) Answer: amount of a nutrient that meets the
needs of 50% of healthy people in a life stage/gender group
Adequate Intake (AI) Answer: a recommended average daily nutrient intake level
based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intake by a group
of healthy people
Upper Levels (UL) Answer: max daily intakes unlikely to pose a risk to almost all
individs in specific group
AMDR Answer: intakes ranges for energy yielding nutrients
- expressed as % of total energy intake
EER Answer: average energy intakes predicted to maintain body weight by calculating
amount of kcals
- takes into acct gender, weight, height, level of physical activity

, dietary guidlines Answer: nutrition/ lifestyle recommendations published by US
department of health and human services
- only recommendation w major emphasis on food safety
exchange lists Answer: Based on food groups to determine overall energy and
macronutrient intake
Healthy People Initiative Answer: National health promotion and disease prevention
objectives for the U.S.
what organization regulates food labels of meat and poultry Answer: USDA
what organization regulates all food labels except meat and poultry Answer: FDA
Current Good Manufacturing Practices Answer: FDA to ensure product contains right
ingredients/ dose
- requires manufacturer to test product to ensure identity, strength, purity, composition
dietary supplement verification program (DSVP) Answer: evaluates and confirms
contents, manufacturing process and standards of purity
- developed by USP
nutrient content claims Answer: claims on the label that describe the level or amount of
a nutrient in a food product
examples of nutrient content claims Answer: low, high, free, reduced, lean, high
potency, antioxidant
health claims Answer: a relationship between a nutrient, food, food component, or
dietary supplement and reduced risk of a disease or health-related condition
structure/function claims Answer: statements that characterize the relationship between
a nutrient or other substance in a food and its role in the body
example of structure/ function claim Answer: calcium builds strong bones
24 hour recall Answer: listing the types, amounts, and preparation of all foods eaten in
the past 24 hours
anthropometric measurements Answer: Measures of height, weight, skinfold thickness,
waist circumference, body fat%
lab measurements of nutritional assessment Answer: blood glucose, cholesterol,
triglycerides, iron, urine samples (protein, glucose, Na)
organization of life Answer: atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems
