Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article uses U.S. food consumption data to examine the effect of maternal nutrition knowledge on the dietary intakes of children between two and seventeen years of age. Results show that maternal knowledge influences children's diets and that such influence decreases as children grow older. Nutrition knowledge acts as a pathway through which maternal education influences children's diets. This finding supports the hypothesis that education affects health-related choices by raising the allocative efficiency of health input use. The results suggest that nutrition education may be more effective if targeted both toward mothers with young children and directly toward school-age children.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between nutritional knowledge of mothers of preschoolers and the growth status and dietary intake of preschoolers who attend the Child Development Center at Kent State University for which two hypotheses were stated. The independent variable of this study was knowledge of the mother and the dependent variables was the growth status of the child measured by plotting the child's BMI-for-age and the dietary intake of the child which was assessed by taking a 24-hour food log and by evaluating macronutrient (energy, carbohydrate, protein, total fat, saturated fat) intake of the child. The data was collected by a paper-pen survey. Mothers were asked to fill the first four sections of the survey at the CDC and were given the 24-hour-food log to be filled in at home. Total 29 mothers participated in the survey from which 13 mothers turned in the food log of the child. One-way analysis of variance was used in SPSS version 24.0 to analyze the quantitative data and themes and patterns were formed to analyze the qualitative data. The results indicated that there was no significance found (p>0.05). The overall education level of the mothers was observed to be high with the majority of them having a Masters or a Ph.D. degree, but their nutrition knowledge in general was found to be extremely low. While the current study provided beneficial insights into mother's nutrition knowledge, the results indicated an overall lack of impact of mother's nutrition knowledge on the growth status and dietary intake of the child (p>0.05). Despite previous research supporting the influence of mother's nutrition knowledge on a child's development and dietary intake, this study lacked many positive outcomes previously obtained, indicating that additional research is necessary to assess the impact of mother's nutrition knowledge on growth status and dietary intake of the child.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to conduct a secondary analysis to examine the association between the change from baseline to follow-up in Latino mothers’ self-reported nutrition knowledge, self-efficacy, intentions, food label use, and role modeling from baseline to follow-up with their reports of children’s dietary intake measured at follow-up. Data were obtained from from Sanos y Fuertes, a culturally-tailored community-based nutrition education intervention. The participants were Latino mothers and their children ages 2 to 8 years old. A dietary quality scoring system was created using food frequency data. To account for reported frequencies, five set points were created to define criteria for high dietary quality. Logistic regression tests were conducted for the five set points. The change in nutrition knowledge (p = .019) and role modeling (p = .034) of the mothers significantly predicted probability of higher child dietary quality at follow-up. Findings suggest the need for interventions that focus on increasing parental dietary knowledge while emphasizing the importance of role modeling. Further research is needed to explore cultural-related dietary differences between Latinos and non-Latinos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relationships between nutrition and oral health. Oral health is an integral part of general health across the life course, and this book examines nutritional and oral health considerations from childhood through to old age, with particular attention focused on the consequences of demographic changes. Current knowledge on the consequences of poor diet for the development and integrity of the oral cavity, tooth loss, and the progression of oral diseases is thoroughly reviewed. Likewise, the importance of maintenance of a disease-free and functional dentition for nutritional well-being at all stages of life is explained. Evidence regarding the impact of oral rehabilitation on nutritional status is evaluated, and strategies for changing dietary behaviour in order to promote oral health are described. Nutrition and Oral Health will be an ideal source of information for all who are seeking a clearly written update on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to prevent and manage low birth weight Growth and nutrition during the fetal period and the first 24 months after birth are important determinants of development in early childhood. Optimal nutrition and health care of both the mother and infant during these first 1000 days of an infant's life are closely linked to growth, learning potential and neurodevelopment, in turn affecting long-term outcomes. Children with low birth weight do not only include premature babies, but also those with intrauterine growth restrictions who consequently have a very high risk of developing metabolic syndrome in the future. Epidemiology, epigenetic programming, the correct nutrition strategy and monitoring of outcomes are thus looked at carefully in this book. More specifically, two important nutritional issues are dealt with in depth: The first being the prevention of low birth weight, starting with the health of adolescent girls, through the pre-pregnancy and pregnancy stages and ending with lactation. The second point of focus concerns the nutritional follow-up and feeding opportunities in relation to dietary requirements of children with low birth weight.

Download or read book Food Literacy written by Helen Vidgen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odisha has shown progress in many indicators but under-nutrition including hidden hunger still stands as a challenge for the State. Undernutritionis a leading contributor to infant, child and maternal mortality and morbidity. Since malnutrition is indirectly responsible for 69% of child deaths in the country, it is extremely crucial to focus on improving maternal and child nutrition for ensuring their survival and development. My heartfelt congratulations to AIIMS, Bhubaneswar for rolling out a Fellowship Course on Public Health Nutrition through RCAPHN in such a record time. Over the years significantly effective strategies and programmes have been formulated and implemented which have started to yield positive results in reducing malnutrition. Therefore, it is important that every stakeholder who is a part of the system and plays an important role in addressing the issues related to health and nutrition must essentially be aware of the key nutrition actions and interventions. All health care providers who interact with mothers and young children should acquire the basic knowledge and skills on infant and young child feeding principles, management of severe acute malnutrition, iodine deficiency disorder, management of iron deficiency and management of vit-A deficiency. I would like to congratulate all the technical members of RCAPHN involved in developing this comprehensive package on nutrition components and themes which will excel the knowledge of public health students. I encourage all to use this handbook as a commendable resource material. The technical modules on nutrition components will help in enhancing the knowledge and skills of public health functionaries and enable them to understand and implement the interventions successfully.
Download or read book Mother s Knowledge of Child Nutrition written by Faten F. Alharbi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the child nutrition knowledge of mothers with children from birth to 24 months. Mothers were selected from eight childcare centers in Menomonie and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. A total of 16 nutrition statements were provided and the mothers were asked if they agree that the statement was true, disagree, or do not know. The number of children, mother's educational level, and age were examined for their relationship to maternal nutritional knowledge. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical analysis software 20.0.0 version. Non-parametric tests were used to test for differences in average knowledge score by the age groups, the education levels, and number of children. Mothers included in the study had a good level of nutrition knowledge with an average score of 68% correct, regardless of their age or their education level. However, if the mother had more than one child then she also had more nutrition knowledge (p= 0.032). The primary sources of nutrition information for the mothers were: doctors/nurses, the Internet, references/books, and family and friends. Efforts to improve the child nutrition knowledge of mother should focus on these sources.
