Thus, first, nutritional status is principally a biological construct, representing the balance between the nutritional intake (primarily energy, macro- and micro-nutrients) and the nutritional demands of the body. Second, growth standards for identifying abnormality rely upon marginal cut-offs of ...
Even so, our knowledge of patients' nutritional intake after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge is scarce. Objectives We aimed to explore nutritional planning and achieved nutritional intake in ICU patients who transfer from the ICU to general wards. Methods A retrospective quality assurance study....
In conclusion, the prevalence of B12 deficiency in kTx was estimated as 14% and was associated with reduced intake of B12 as well as higher adiposity, especially in women, and with the use of MMF. Discussion The aim of this systematic review was to summarise the evidence of nutritional ...
Recent investigation into the protein requirements of women exercising for 1.5 h/day showed that protein intake should be at least 1.6 g kg−1 day−1 during the follicular phase [77]. Because of increased progesterone levels in the luteal phase, the protein requirement may be higher due to...
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) recommendations state that malnutrition should be diagnosed by a combination of at least one phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, or reduced muscle mass) and one etiologic criterion (reduced food intake/assimilation or inflammation) [13...
And when translating that number to an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI)-“the threshold above which safe use cannot be predicted based upon the current studies,” Endres explains-the ADI works out to 70 mg per day, based on the average 70-kg human. That 70 mg per day sets the ce...
For the dietary calculation of a food plan, it is essential to determine the nutritional needs (or energy needs) of the person. Energy needs are defined as the dietary energy intake through food sources of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which is necessary to maintain energy balance in heal...
No significant alteration in VO2, VCO2, physical activity, food intake, and body surface temperature values was found in Otud3+/− mice fed either ND or HFD compared with those in Otud3−/− and Otud3+/+ mice during the light periods (Figures S3A, S3B, and S3E–S3G). ...
It includes the following four items: 1) a BMI <18.5 kg/m2, 2) unintentional weight loss of more than 3 kg in the past month, 3) food intake reduction by more than half in the past week, and 4) whether the patient is in the intensive care unit. Since all patients were in the ...
Apparent fat digestibility=((fat intake−fecal fat)/fat intake)*100 Apparent calcium digestibility=((calcium intake−fecal calcium)/calcium intake)*100 Dry matter digestibility=((dry matter intake−fecal dry matter)/dry matter intake)*100 A decreased feed conversion (weight/feed intake) ...
