This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se reúnen en este manual los programas de prevención de trastornos de conducta alimentaria (TCA) y obesidad más eficaces en el ámbito español y latinoamericano. En él participan los expertos y los grupos de investigación más prestigiosos y reconocidos, que, con un enfoque interdisciplinar, recogen los avances logrados en los últimos años en este ámbito, con rigor científico y sin descuidar el aspecto humano. Los TCA y la obesidad son problemas de salud pública, globalizados y emergentes, difíciles de tratar y consumen una enorme cantidad de recursos humanos y materiales. Invertir en prevención es ahorrar en gastos de tratamiento y mejorar la calidad de vida y la salud física y mental de las personas individuales y de la comunidad. Desde el modelo de la salud pública y promoción de la salud esto es incuestionable, aunque hay que demostrarlo con resultados en el mundo real. Por este motivo, diferentes grupos de trabajo se han unido en esta obra para tratar de guiar en el tratamiento y la prevención de los TCA y el sobrepeso y la obesidad. La obra responde al deseo de mostrar estas buenas prácticas en la labor preventiva de expertos que hablan en castellano y poder facilitar a otros profesionales interesados la aplicación de estos programas. Son programas de promoción de la salud y prevención primaria, secundaria y terciaria, universal, selectiva e indicada, con poblaciones especiales, con diferentes edades y desde diferentes entornos.

Download or read book Mini Nutritional Assessment MNA written by Bruno J. Vellas and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Window of Opportunity written by David James Purslove Barker and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no longer any doubt that the inherited genetic constitution of the individual has a large influence on the entire life cycle, from human fetal development and pre- and postnatal growth to subsequent health status. However, growing evidence suggests that this predisposition is not rigid, but that early genetic imprinting, caused by exposure to a diverse spectrum of nutrients, macromolecules, microbial agents and other cellular or soluble components present in the external environment, is also of importance. According to this concept of the developmental origins of adult diseases, intrauterine and early life events play an important role in the etiology of human diseases: there seems to exist a critical 'window of opportunity' in the human infant before and during pregnancy, and up to 24 months of age. Altered exposure to different environmental agents during this critical period may determine the nature of responses in the perinatal period, and the expression of specific disease states in later life. The papers presented in this publication thus focus on the impact of perinatal growth, nutrition, environmental microflora, and host immune responses on the outcome of health and disease in later life.
