Energy and Nutrient Needs During
Childhood
• Energy and Protein
– Total energy requirements gradually increases
– Kilocalories and grams protein per kg of body
weight decreases from infancy

• Vitamins and Minerals


– Variety of foods needed
– Assess iron intake

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Influences on Childhood Food Habits
and Intake
• Toddler’s food habits are usually temporary
• Idea is to promote self-regulation of energy
intake.
– Caregivers have increased role in the development
of child’s health and nutrition habits  safe,
sanitary, and supportive environment.
– Kids are responsible for when and how much to
eat.
• External factors: TV, environment

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Nutritional Concerns of Childhood
1. Malnutrition and hunger
– Food insecurity: people who take in enough
calories but have diets of reduced quality that do
not met all daily requirements.

– Solution:
• Assistance programs
• Education

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Nutrition Concerns of Childhood
2. Food and behavior
– Caffeine in soft drinks and energy drinks make
children jittery and interfere with sleep.
– Foods associated with hyperactivity
• Definition: a maladaptive and abnormal increase in
activity that is inconsistent with developmental levels.
– Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• No solid proof that ADHD is associated with sugar
• Food preservatives and colorings may enhance
hyperactive behaviors (further research needed)

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Nutrition Concerns of Childhood
3. Childhood overweight/underweight/stunting
– ~32% of American children age 2-19 years are
overweight or obese
– Programs designed to treat childhood obesity
generally provide behavior modification and
exercise counseling, instead of restricting caloric
intake or food choices.
– Indonesia: underweight and stunting is still high
– Solution?

Nutrition Concerns of Childhood
4. Nutrition and chronic disease
– Eating with adults (transfer of eating habit)
• Infants/Toddlers need fat in their diet for growth, organ
protection, and CNS development
• Children 2+ should consume diet lower in fat, saturated
fat, and cholesterol to reduce risks for chronic diseases.
– Dietary Guidelines for Americans
• AAP recommends screening children with family history
of high lipid levels

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Nutrition Concerns of Childhood
5. Lead toxicity

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Adolescence
• Physical growth and development
– Height:
• For girls: begins between 10-11yrs
– 6 inches in height, 35 lbs in weight
1. Peak one year before menarche
2. 2-4 inches during the remainder of adolescence

• For boys: begins between 12-13 yrs


– 8 inches in height, 45 lbs in weight
– Thus, an malnourished adolescent may not
achieve his/her full potential height when growth
period is over.
From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu
Adolescence
• Physical growth and development
– Changes in body composition
• Boys: increase in lean body mass
• Girls: increase in body fat
–Changes in emotional maturity
• Psychological development affects food
choices, eating habits, body images.

From Childhood through Adulthood Nutrition. www.napavalley.edu


Nutrient Needs of Adolescents
• Energy and protein
– Highest total calories and
protein grams per day than
at any other time of life
(exception of pregnancy
and lactation)
• Vitamins and minerals
– Nutrients of concern:

come from?
• Energy is the ability to perform work

• Energy comes from food and is measured in


calories

• Calories come from:


• Carbohydrate
• Protein
• Fat

Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.


The Best fuel for our muscles
is Carbohydrates!!

High carb foods are grains, fruits,


vegetables, dairy, and beans
Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.
Carbohydrates
• Stored as glycogen in the muscles
– Preferred/ Major source of energy
– Broken down rapidly
– Important in maximal exercise
• Carbohydrates also:
– Power muscle contraction
– Provide fuel for the brain
– Aids in fat metabolism
– Protein sparing effect
• Allows protein to be used for tissue maintainence/repair verses
energy
Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.
Training Diet
Eat a high carb diet of 275-350 grams/day
Food Grams of Carb
1/2 cup pasta 20
1 slice of bread 13
Large baked potato 30-50
Banana 27
1 cup low-fat milk 12
1 cup of most beans 40-45

Above Numbers are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Pre-Competition Meals
Goal: To provide adequate carbohydrate energy
and optimal hydration

Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.


Eat to Compete
 It takes 1- 4 hours for food to
leave your stomach
 High Carb foods are digested
quickly
High Protein foods can increase
water requirements
Foods high in Fat can stay in your
stomach for more than 4 hours

Best choice for pre-game meals is something high in


Carbs - easy to digest and becomes quick energy !

Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.


Pre-Competition Meals

Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.


What and When should I eat
after I Workout?
• In the first 30 minutes:
– Replace fluids and electrolytes
– Eat high-carbohydrate foods
• Examples: Banana, Yogurt, Granola Bar
• Within 2 hours:
– Drink 2-3 cups of fluid for every pound lost
– Eat a high-carbohydrate meal with some protein
• Example: Ham Sandwich, Rice and Beans

Amy Boltz. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance.


Hydration
The best way to stay
well hydrated for
exercise is to drink

Malnutrition?
What is malnutrition?
 Malnutrition = imbalance between nutritional intake

and nutritional requirements.


 Malnutrition in the UK costs in excess of 7.3 billion

Who is at risk of malnutrition?


 A malnourished patient can  their length of stay in

hospital by 50%
 75% of patients may  weight during admission

 A large proportion of patients are at risk

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Why might patients become
undernourished?
 Decreased food intake

 Increased nutritional/energy
requirements

 Decreased nutrient absorption (diseases


affecting the gastro-intestinal tract)

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


What are the consequences of
malnutrition?
→ Illness
→ Reduced food intake

→ Reduced muscle strength


→ Decreased mobility

→ Impaired immunity
→ Susceptibility to wound/chest infection

→ Apathy
→ Depression

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Identifying patients at
nutritional risk
Nutritional screening
 Identifies patients who are or at risk of
becoming undernourished
 Action plan

1. identifies appropriate strategies of care


2. identifies responsibilities for care
 Not all patients identified as being at
risk require being seen by a dietitian
Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk
Role of the dietitian
 The dietitian is an expert in nutrition
 Assess more high risk patients
 Assess nutritional status
 Estimate nutritional requirements
 Give appropriate nutritional advice
 Request prescription products if appropriate
 Discuss care plans with multi disciplinary teams
to ensure implementation

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Catering system
 Dietitians will inform nursing staff of
specific dietary requirements and
appropriate texture modified diet
 All meals are ordered by nursing staff
 Fortified foods and additional snacks can
be arranged via the dietitian

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Benefits of Nutritional Support
Patient Benefits BPJSK Benefits
 ↓ Length of stay  Cost savings

 ↓ Rehab time

 ↓ Mortality

 ↑ Quality of life

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Why weigh?
 Weight is an essential component of
assessing nutritional status

 Weight history highlights changes of


significance

 Unexplained weight loss should be


investigated
Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk
How should weights
should be obtained?
 Weekly weights (unless otherwise instructed)
 Obtain using the same scales preferably
 Ensure patient wearing similar clothing
 Weights should be recorded in the medical
records
 If weight has significantly changed
 Re-check the weight
 Inform the concerned personnel
Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk
Methods of providing
Nutritional Support
 Appropriate food choices/↑ no. of
meals/snacks
 Fortify foods to ↑ their nutritional value
 Provide supplement drinks
 Enteral nutrition
 Parenteral nutrition

Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk


Nutritional Supplements
 Some can not meet their nutritional
needs through oral diet alone

 Supplement drinks may be indicated

 Prescription products

should only be given to patients as


directed by medical or dietetic staff
Laura Haigh. The Importance of Nutrition. www.nhsggc.org.uk
Starvation and ICU
 Complex metabolic changes
 Weight loss is high if sick patients are not fed
 But nutrients are not always adequately absorbed or
metabolised

 Weight loss occurs despite feeding


 Important to feed patients but with regard to their
individual needs and complexities.

Nutrition in Sick Patients. www.scottishintensivecare.org.uk


ICU nutrition
 Used to be everything mixed up and given via NG tube
 Risk of infection
 Now specialised feeds are used in sterile packaging

Nutrition in Sick Patients. www.scottishintensivecare.org.uk


Overfeeding
 Lactic acidosis
 Hyperglycaemia
 Increased infections
 Liver impairment (Alk phos, ALT, GGT, acalculous
cholecystitis)

 Persistent pyrexia

Nutrition in Sick Patients. www.scottishintensivecare.org.uk


Complex nutrition: Monitoring
 Urea, Creat, Electrolites
 Phosphate, calcium, magnesium
 Glucose
 LFTs
 Fluid balance
 Haematology
 Weight
 Trace elements if long-term

Nutrition in Sick Patients. www.scottishintensivecare.org.uk


‘Do not let your patients starve and when
you offer them nutrition support, do so by
the safest, simplest, most effective route.’
