This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor diets and rising obesity rates among Americans have persisted despite increased awareness and publicity regarding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This analysis of consumer food choice developed a consumer demand model to illustrate how both longterm health objectives and immediate visceral influences ¿ long intervals between meals and away-from-home eating ¿ can affect individuals¿ food choices. The model predicts that dietary knowledge will have less influence on food choices in the face of immediate visceral factors. Longer intervals between meals and consumption of more food away from home both contribute to one¿s consuming more calories and more calories from solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students have poor dietary habits and lack proper nutrition education and skills to allow them to make healthy choices; yet, health promotion efforts on campuses are limited and have failed to address appropriate programs to improve nutrition behaviors and education. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a nutrition education intervention on dietary intake, nutrition knowledge, and stage of change in college students. Students enrolled in an exercise class received eight educational lessons focused on basic nutrition science principles, health implications and benefits, and specific behavioral skills to improve their food choices. Paired t-tests revealed no significant changes in dietary intake or nutrition knowledge. However, positive significant improvements were seen in stages of change towards healthy eating. There were several limitations of this study, but future interventions should focus on a more structured educational setting with interactive activities to improve dietary behaviors.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of overweight and obese children has increased dramatically in the United States over the past 20 years and is a symptom of multiple systemic and cultural changes that have significantly influenced alterations in energy intake, energy expenditures, and the energy balance of children across the nation. School-based obesity prevention programs addressing nutrition and healthy eating behaviors within the school environment and cultural context provide a unique opportunity to educate and engage students in healthy food consumption practices. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a three-year elementary school nutrition education program for students in grades kindergarten through fifth using a longitudinal analysis of two separate data sets, a nutrition skills behavior assessment survey of self-reported eating behaviors, and body mass index (BMI) scores derived from height and weight measurements of program participants. Nutrition survey results indicated that students reported making healthier food choices from August 2001 to November 2004, with a significant decrease in reported consumption of fats/oils/sweets and significant increases in reported consumption of milk, meat, vegetables, fruit and grains. BMI results indicated a 7.8% decline in the percentage of students in the "overweight" and "at-risk for overweight" categories between August 2001 and October 2004. The combined results of both measures indicate that the nutrition education program appeared to positively affect eating behaviors and body mass index percentages. Implications of the study and strategies for further research are proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the social environment affects food choices and intake, and documents the extent to which people are unaware of the significant impact of social factors on their eating. The authors take a unique approach to studying eating behaviors in ordinary circumstances, presenting a theory of normal eating that highlights social influences independent of physiological and taste factors. Among the topics discussed: Modeling of food intake and food choice Consumption stereotypes and impression management Research design, methodology, and ethics of studying eating behaviors What happens when we overeat? Effects of social eating Social Influences on Eating is a useful reference for psychologists and researchers studying food and nutritional psychology, challenging commonly held assumptions about the dynamics of food choice and intake in order to promote a better understanding of the power of social influence on all forms of behavior.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition education should be introduced to college students in order to encourage development of lifelong eating habits to decrease the risks of diet-related disorders. A study of the effects of two methods by which a short term nutrition education program on nutrition knowledge of the American University of Beirut students was developed and undertaken. Students of both sexes and of the three different majors, i.e., arts, sciences, and engineering who live at the AUB dormitories were the target group. These students represented the experimental groups, which included the lecture and the pamphlet groups, and the control group. The lecture group was given a twenty-minute lecture which provided nutrition instruction including information about the four food groups, the relation between good nutrition and the lowering of the incidences of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases, as well as suggestions for food choices consistent with good health. The other experimental groups received two pamphlets containing the same nutrition information. Other two groups served as control groups. Pre- and post-tests were administered to all students before and after the instruction. Concerning the nutrition knowledge, the program was found to be effective. This was confirmed because the experimental groups showed higher mean post-scores than the control groups indicating a significant improvement in nutritional knowledge. The effect of the different techniques varied in the experimental groups who were of different sexes. In other words, there was an interaction between the sexes and the different treatments. However, the lecture technique proved to be more effective than the pamphlets. The difference between the two methods was significant.

Download or read book Relationship Between Nutrition Knowledge and Food Intake of College Students written by Mercy O. Nani and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the difference and relationship between nutrition knowledge and food intake among students who had completed a nutrition course and students who had not completed a nutrition course. It was hypothesized that there would be a relationship between the knowledge scores and the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores. Also, it was expected that there would be a difference in the nutrition knowledge scores and healthy eating index scores among students who had completed a nutrition course and students who had not completed a nutrition course. The HEI-2010 was used to measure diet quality. The participants (n=121) completed an electronic questionnaire that consisted of 74 nutrition knowledge questions and a 24-hr diet recall form. There was a positive correlation between knowledge scores and HEI scores (P = 0.001). Students who had completed a nutrition course had a mean knowledge score of 49.5 and a mean HEI score of 68.3, while students who had not completed a nutrition course had a mean knowledge score of 39.2 and a mean HEI score of 55.4. This study demonstrated that nutritional knowledge contributes to better food choices and more adequate nutritional intake among college students. Future nutrition interventions to improve dietary quality in college students should focus on improving nutrition knowledge.

This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing incidence of obesity and nutrition related chronic diseases is becoming a public health concern. It is important for health professionals to understand how they can best educate the public in order to prevent this epidemic from worsening. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an interactive nutrition education program is effective in prompting dietary behavior changes in adolescent females. The subjects of this study were 9 Caucasian adolescent females from Reading, Pennsylvania. The mean age was 11.6 years old. The subjects were interviewed to obtain twenty-four hour recalls to use as baseline data and as a nutrition needs assessment. They were also asked a set of general nutrition knowledge questions. An interactive nutrition education program was designed to meet the nutrition concerns of the particular audience. The initial twenty-four hour recalls showed the average adolescent participant's diet was deficient in milk, fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. Subjects participated in a nutrition education intervention that consisted of learning about nutrition, planning snacks, and goal setting. The intervention was designed to facilitate goal setting and behavior changes that would increase the consumption of the deficient food groups. Twenty-four hour food recall data was collected after the nutrition education program and compared to the initial data to determine whether the students implemented behavior changes that would affect their nutritional intake. After the nutrition education program, the average number of grain and meat servings increased. The average number of fats, oils, sweets, and dairy products decreased. There was a slight decrease in the average number of servings from the fruit group and a slight increase the average number of vegetable servings. The nutrition intervention resulted in 8 out of the 9 subjects creating and remembering their individual nutrition intake goaL Five of the students met their individualized nutrition goals on the day the food recall data was collected. Nutrition knowledge did not change due to the intervention. The majority of subjects were able to name the food groups and state the recommended number of servings for the food groups before and after the intervention. The difference in number of servings from the food groups before and after the intervention was slight; therefore, it was difficult to relate the change in intake to the effectiveness of the education session. This intervention was effective in motivating students to think about nutrition goals. The majority of students actually implemented their individual goals. An expansion of the sample size for this study would help to improve the analysis of individualized goals. A larger sample of goals would enable the nutrition goals to be categorized and evaluated based on the food group or food choices they influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this research project were to assess nutrition knowledge and dietary behavior of adolescents, and to determine what relationship, if any, exists between nutrition knowledge and dietary behavior. A newly-developed 25-question nutrition knowledge survey was used to measure general nutrition knowledge among 287 seventh grade students in Newburgh, Indiana. Dietary behavior scores were determined by rating the food choices purchased by the students in the school cafeteria over one week, with points awarded if the items met IN-S.B. 0111 s definition of a "better choice" food. Results indicated low levels of nutrition knowledge (mean=48.5%), with girls scoring significantly higher on the nutrition knowledge survey than boys. The average dietary behavior score was 73.8% (an average of 7.8 "better choice" foods out of every 11.4 total foods purchased). No significant relationship was found between the score on the nutrition knowledge test and the dietary behavior score. Linear regression analysis indicated nutrition knowledge was a more important predictor of dietary behavior than gender or race in this seventh grade population.
