Systematic method for obtaining, verifying, and interpreting data needed to identify nutrition-related
problems, their causes, and significance - ✔✔Nutritional Assessment
Nutritional assessment draws from many indices to provide a _________. - ✔✔complete picture of
nutritional health
Ultimate purpose of nutritional assessment - ✔✔Improve human health
4 Main Types of Nutritional Assessment - ✔✔
Anthropometric
Biochemical
Clinical
Dietary
-Measure physical dimensions
-Technique specific for age, setting, physiological status
-Compare to population norms - ✔✔Anthropometric
Examples of anthropometric assessment - ✔✔Height, weight, head circumference, skinfold thickness,
body density, waist circumference
-Samples may be taken from blood, feces, urine, body tissues
-Subject preparation (fasting or fed state)
-Compare to standard/normal values - ✔✔Biochemical
Examples of Biochemical Assessment - ✔✔Blood glucose, hemoglobin, lipid panel, urinalysis
, -Medical history and physical exams are used to detect signs and symptoms of malnutrition
-Nutrition focused physical exams
-Symptoms, visuals, subjective measurements - ✔✔Clinical
Examples of Clinical Assessment - ✔✔Loss of subcutaneous fat, skin turgor, loss of teeth, dry/brittle hair
and nails
-Food and nutrient intake
-Data collection both subjective and objective data
-Compare to standards or goals (MyPlate, RDA, etc.) - ✔✔Dietary
Classifications of Nutritional Status - ✔✔-Meets standards/goals (adequate nutritional status)
-Overnutrition (overweight, obesity)
-Undernutrition (nutrient deficiencies)
Examples of Dietary Assessment - ✔✔24-hour recall, food record, food frequency questionnaire, diet
history
Stages of Nutrient Deficiency - ✔✔1. Dietary Inadequacy
2. Decreased levels/stores in tissues or body fluids
3. Tissue growth/function
4. Signs and symptoms
Depletion Stage: (1) Dietary Inadequacy - ✔✔Dietary Analysis
Depletion Stage: (2) Decreased levels/stores in tissues or body fluids - ✔✔Biochemical
Depletion Stage: (3) Tissue growth/function - ✔✔Anthropometric, biochemical
