Abstract

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder, characterized by low bone mass with micro architectural deterioration of bone leading to enhanced risk of fracture. On aging the strength of the bone tends to deteriorate, hence this is a degenerative process. Osteoporosis and risk of subsequent fracture is one of the most prevalent community health problems affecting the elderly population and its prevalence is increasing. Although osteoporosis can affect both men and women of any age, women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis. All over the world as the population increases women are outnumbering the men in osteoporosis cases and it is becoming women's public health issue. During the post menopause period in women, bones become weak leading to osteoporosis. Therefore, Cummings claims osteoporosis as on increasing clinical and public health problem.

Abstract

Ageing can be described as the progressive constriction of the homeostatic reserve of every organ system. This decline to a large extent is influenced by diet, environment, and personal habits as weil as by genetic factors.' India is the second most populous country in the world with 72 miiiion elderly (above 60 years of age), constituting approximately eight per cent of the total Indian population. This number is low when compared to the developed countries, but it is expected to rise by 150 per cent i.e. 179 million by 2031.

Abstract

When everything else is equal, nutrition can make the difference in sports performance. Nutrition plays an important role for attaining high level of achievement in sports and athletics. Physical fitness and training are very much dependent on nutritional status of sports personnel. Diet significantly influences the performance of athletes. It is unfortunate to note that many student athletes may not be adequately nourished due to poor understanding of sports nutrition, lack of nutrition knowledge and practice. Nutrition education is a key element to promoting life long healthy eating and exercise behaviours and should start from the early stages of life. Nutrition education provided to sports persons has brought about desirable changes in food habits leading to good performance in sports.

Abstract

Childbirth and lactation impacts maternal nutrition in several ways. Among the under privileged, effects of child birth and maternal nutrition have been found to be adverse. There is very little information, about maternal nutrition during the period after childbirth, from the developing countries. This is presumably because adverse effects of undernutrition on lactation per se are not striking. Somatic changes and dietary intakes of Indian mothers belonging to the elite group following childbirth have received little attention. A prospective study was conducted to observe and record somatic changes, maternal dietary intakes, breast feeding and postpartum occurrences consequent to childbirth among elite group.

Abstract

As early as 1896, Atwater, the great nutritionist, presented a statement of signal value, "The food composition table is intended to replace the previous ones and to serve as a standard of reference until it shall in its turn be replaced by a larger and more complete compilation". Since Atwater's forecast there has been continuous building of data on composition of foods. Yet, as Watt and Murphy point out, there is sharpened need for reliable tables on nutrient composition of foods specially when cooked, because cooking affects the nutrient content of food, Lal and Mitra, Chakravarti and Maiti, Walberg and William and Onate et al.
