Download or read book Nutritional Risk Assessment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-12-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the practice of risk assessment has been applied to human public health issues, and policy makers have used the results of risk assessments in their decision-making process. Approaches for risk assessment have been developed for nonnutrients such as drugs, food additives, and pesticides, but approaches for risk assessment have received less attention in the nutrition area. Some aspects of the risk assessment approach used for nonnutrients are applicable to the assessment of risks related to nutrition. The overall approach, however, must be adapted and modified to take into account the unique aspects of nutrients, including the fact that both high and low nutrient intakes are associated with risk. Experience with the application of a risk assessment process to the setting of upper levels of intake for essential nutrients, for example, has uncovered a number of challenges. Adapting and developing risk assessment strategies for application in nutrition science could lead to improved approaches to the development of dietary and nutritional recommendations and thus is a topic of considerable interest. One nonscientific but overall challenge to nutritional risk assessment relates to increasing and improving communication among experts from key disciplines in ways that could inform the nutritional risk assessment process. Among these key disciplines are nutrition, toxicology, dietary exposure assessment, economics, risk analysis, and epidemiology. How can the perspectives and methods of these diverse fields be brought together to develop more effective approaches for quantitative nutritional risk assessment? How can they be applied to a spectrum of topics related to food and nutrition-micronutrients, macronutrients, dietary supplements, whole foods, food groups, and dietary patterns? How can they help overcome the data challenges that confront nutritional risk assessors? As a step toward improving the communication and sharing methods and information across disciplines, members of the Interagency Risk Assessment Consortium, the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, the Institute of Medicine's Food Forum, and the International Life Sciences Institute planned the Nutritional Risk Assessment Workshop. The workshop was held on February 28 and March 1, 2007, in Washington, D.C. This workshop, which was envisioned as one in a series, focused on opening a dialogue to explore the unique questions and challenges faced by nutritionists and the potential use of risk assessment methodologies to answer them. Nutritional Risk Assessment : Perspectives, Methods, and Data Challenges, Workshop Summary summarizes the happenings of this workshop.

Download or read book Sodium Intake in Populations written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite efforts over the past several decades to reduce sodium intake in the United States, adults still consume an average of 3,400 mg of sodium every day. A number of scientific bodies and professional health organizations, including the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Public Health Association, support reducing dietary sodium intake. These organizations support a common goal to reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 years of age and older and those of any age who are African-American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. A substantial body of evidence supports these efforts to reduce sodium intake. This evidence links excessive dietary sodium to high blood pressure, a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, and cardiac-related mortality. However, concerns have been raised that a low sodium intake may adversely affect certain risk factors, including blood lipids and insulin resistance, and thus potentially increase risk of heart disease and stroke. In fact, several recent reports have challenged sodium reduction in the population as a strategy to reduce this risk. Sodium Intake in Populations recognizes the limitations of the available evidence, and explains that there is no consistent evidence to support an association between sodium intake and either a beneficial or adverse effect on most direct health outcomes other than some CVD outcomes (including stroke and CVD mortality) and all-cause mortality. Some evidence suggested that decreasing sodium intake could possibly reduce the risk of gastric cancer. However, the evidence was too limited to conclude the converse-that higher sodium intake could possibly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Interpreting these findings was particularly challenging because most studies were conducted outside the United States in populations consuming much higher levels of sodium than those consumed in this country. Sodium Intake in Populations is a summary of the findings and conclusions on evidence for associations between sodium intake and risk of CVD-related events and mortality.

Book Dietary Patterns Affecting Cardiovascular Health

Download or read book Dietary Patterns Affecting Cardiovascular Health written by Iain Brownlee and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Poor dietary habits appear to be the major modifiable risk factor for morbidity and mortality from CVDs. Therefore, improving dietary habits and adopting food- and nutrient-based dietary guidelines as part of a global public health strategy is of critical importance to preventing and managing end-stage disease, thereby reducing the direct and indirect costs associated with CVDs. Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 suggest that over 80% of disability-adjusted life years and deaths resulting from poor diet are a result of cardiovascular health issues. In many instances, the underlying mechanism linking intake of food, nutrients or whole diets to cardiovascular function has not been fully elucidated.

Book Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases

Download or read book Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases written by Zhendong Liu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, which brings about a major public health burden. An increasing body of literature suggests that nutritional factors strongly affect CVD risks and progression. There is consensus among researchers that nutritional deficiency, as well as nutritional excess, both increase the risk of CVDs. In addition, it is increasingly recognized that not only nutrients but also dietary patterns play a role in CVDs. Furthermore, nutritional status and diet quality is also becoming a concern in regard to CVD development and outcomes. However, CVDs are complicated diseases with various causes, which leads to inconsistencies in determining the best nutritional practice. Further research is required to identify effective ways of improving nutritional status in order to prevent, delay or reduce adverse outcomes of CVDs. The goal of this research topic is to highlight the central role of nutrition in both primary and secondary prevention of CVDs. We will focus on the latest evidence from observational and clinical studies, regarding the influence of nutrients, dietary patterns, diet quality, nutrition status on CVDs development and outcomes. We hope to showcase research progress, identify the feasibility and impact of nutritional interventions, and shed light on future directions for research.
