Abstract

Obesity is a recognised major risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic diseases, osteo-arthritis, syndrome-X and others. The major cardio-vascular metabolic risk factors (high blood pressure, plasma lipids and insulin resistance) all aggregate independently with both Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) and improve with weight loss. Waist circumference relates closely to BMI, gives the best assessment of intra-abdominal fat as opposed to subcutaneous fat and is the dominant determinant in WHR. Waist circumference is also the indicator of changes in intra-abdominal fat during weight loss. It is suggested that waist circumference ≥ 80 cm in males and ≥ 72 cm in females are at risk from either increased body weight or central fat distribution or both. The objective of the study was to estimate the adult subjects above 41 years in urban areas of Dharwad, Karnataka state either at increased body weight or central fat distribution or both.

Abstract

Wasting and malnutrition occur commonly in patients with renal disease. The causes are multifactorial and include inadequate intake of nutrients, loss of nutrients in dialysate, recurrent illnesses, uremic toxins and endocrine abnormalities, such as insulin resistance, hyperglucagonemia and hyperparathyroidism. Malnutrition and wasting may contribute to many aspects of the uremic syndrome, including increased susceptibility to infection, impaired wound healing, decreased strength and vigor and poor rehabilitation and quality of life.

Abstract

Renal disease may be a part of systemic, inherited or drug induced disease or result of an infection, affecting glomeruli or blood vessels supplying blood to the kidney, renal tubules, interstitium, epithelial lining and urinary tract. Chronic renal disease is defined by the level of kidney function and the evidence of kidney damage. The National Kidney Foundation (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiatives) (NKF-K/DOQI), clinical practice guidelines for chronic renal disease (2002), identified five stages of renal disease defined by the glomerular filtration rate1. Progression of disease, characterized by a sharp decline in the GFR leads to appearance of clinical signs in the patients.

Abstract

Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) is ttie major cause of blindness among children in many developing countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the deficiency is a problem of public health importance in at least 75 countries. Studies in Asia suggest that at least 2,50,000 children go blind each year from severe corneal xerophthalmia and an additional five million suffer from milder forms of diseased Vitamin A deficiency has been of public importance also in India. Estimates indicate that six per cent of the children manifest obvious signs of VAD particularly in the rural area and annually 30,000 to 40,000 children may be losing their eye sight due to VAD. Hence, there is a need to know about the related nutrients in the diet and vitamin A status.

Food habits vary from one cultural group to another, because each group in its own evolution, sets up a complex pattern of standardized behaviours. Food habits and food beliefs are among the oldest and most entrenched aspects of any culture. Food prejudices and false beliefs are known to impediment in the way of adequate nutrition and thus noxious especially for the well being of the vulnerable groups. False beliefs with respect to foods also restrict the mother's diet.

The data pertaining to food intake is collected by several methods such as questionnaire, one or three day recall, weighment method and the like. The quality of diet in turn is assessed by the adequacy of nutrients which are computed based on the dietary data and the existing national recommendation of nutrients to a particular population, in the field of diet survey adequacy of individual nutrients are computed and evaluated separately.

Scales of calorie coefficients have often been used to determine calorie intake of Individuals in a family. These scales indicate how the total family food should be divided among the members of a family based on physiological needs.
