Northern Territory market basket survey 2011
No full textIn 1995 the NT Department of Health and Community Services developed the NT Food and Nutrition Policy. One of the strategies identified in this policy was to develop a tool (the ?Market Basket Survey?) to monitor food cost, availability, variety and quality in remote community stores. The Market Basket Survey also enables information to be collected on: store management, employment of Indigenous people, existence of a store nutrition policy, community development initiatives by the store such as sponsorship and donations, nutrition promotions and store worker training. The first Territory wide survey of remote stores was carried out in 1998 when 45 stores were surveyed
Perioperative Nutrition
Get PDFModern perioperative care is making steady advances in achieving optimal recovery for patients using the concept of early recovery after surgery (ERAS). Perioperative nutrition plays an important part in ERAS care and opportunities for nutritional interventions present for weeks up to hours before an operation, as well as in the postoperative period. Despite that malnutrition and suboptimal nutrition in surgical patients, particularly in those presenting with cancer, is very common

Clinical nutrition and human rights: an international position paper
Get PDFWorldwide Societies for Clinical Nutrition have launched a promotional campaign that advocates for all patients to have access to food and evidence-based artificially administered nutrition and hydration (AANH). The campaign is supported by the simultaneous publication of a major position paper in, Clinical Nutrition and Nutrition in Clinical Practice, the official journals of the European and North American professional societies. The working group of experts in human rights and clinical nutrition, includes representatives of the American Society for Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition (ASPEN), The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), Latin American Federation of Nutritional Therapy, Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (FELANPE), Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Society of Asia (PENSA) and the West African Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (WASPEN)
The nordic nutrition recommendations 2022 – principles and methodologies
Get PDFBackground: The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNRs) constitute the scientific basis for national dietary reference values (DRVs) and food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Objective: To define principles and methodologies for the sixth edition of NNR to be published in 2022 (NNR2022). Design: The principles and methodologies of the previous edition of NNR were used as a starting point. Recent nutrition recommendations commissioned by other national food and health authorities or international food and health organizations were examined and dissected. Updated principles and methodologies were agreed by the NNR2022 Committee in a consensus-driven process. Results: An organizational model with ‘checks and balances’ was developed to minimize the influence of subjective biases of the committee members and experts. Individual chapters on all included nutrients and food groups will be updated as scoping reviews. Systematic reviews (SRs), which are the main basis for evaluating causal effects of nutrients or food groups on health outcomes, will be embedded in each chapter. A NNR SR Centre will be established for performing de novo SRs on prioritized topics. To avoid duplication and optimize the use of resources, qualified SRs commissioned by other national and international organizations and health authorities will also inform DRVs and FBDGs in NNR2022. Discussion: The evidence-based methods defined in the NNR2022 project are compatible with most contemporary methods used by leading national food and health authorities. Global harmonization of methodological approaches to nutrition recommendations is strongly encouraged. Conclusion: Evidence-informed principles and methodologies underpinned by SRs will ensure that DRVs and FBDGs defined in the NNR2022 project are based on the best available evidence and as far as possible free from overt bias.</p
Profiles of Nutrition and Non – Nutrition Factors Related to Anemia Status Among Lactating Mothers in Jakarta
Get PDFBackground and Objective: Anemia is a major health problem affecting every phase of life. However less attention given to lactating mothers where anemia can give bad impacts to the mothers themselves and their babies. Less knowledge also known about nutrition and non-nutrition factors related to anemia. Therefore, this study aims to profile nutrition and non-nutrition factors related to anemia status among lactating mothers.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Grogol Petamburan and Cilincing Public Health Centre in Jakarta in February–April 2019. Seventy fours lactating mothers aged 20–35 years old who delivered within the last 3–6 months recruited using consecutive sampling method. Nutrition factors examined were energy, protein, iron, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C intakes, and body mass index (BMI). Non-nutrition factors examined were level of education and family income. Basic characteristic data was collected by interview and dietary intake was assessed using a semiquantitative-food frequency questionnaire and 24-hours food recall for two non-consecutive days. BMI and laboratory assessments (haemoglobin, ferritin serum, and c-reactive protein) were done.Results: Anemia prevalence was 8% and 11% was iron deficient. Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was 3% (37.5% from prevalence of anemia). Based on Indonesia Recommended Dietary Allowance, around 58% subjects had low iron intake, 39% with low vitamin B6 intake, 27% with low vitamin B12 intake, 40% with low vitamin C intake, and no subject with low folate intake. Around 53% of subjects had BMI < 22.9 kg/m2. Almost 70% of the subjects had middle level of education and 50% had family income lower than regional minimum wage.Conclusion: Prevalence of anemia among lactating mothers in Jakarta was 8%. Non-nutrition factors had higher proportion compared to nutrition factors related to anemia status. Further studies are needed to determine the possible causes of anemia in lactating mothers
The nordic nutrition recommendations 2022 – handbook for qualified systematic reviews
Get PDFBackground: Systematic reviews (SRs) constitute a major part of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNRs). The step-by-step procedure used to develop SRs has evolved considerably over time and is often tailored to fit the exposure and outcomes in focus. Objective: To describe a detailed procedure for developing qualified SRs commissioned by the NNR2022 project. Design: Scrutinizing procedures of recent SRs commissioned by leading national food and health authorities or international food and health organizations. Results: The following eight steps must be included when developing qualified SRs for the NNR2022 project: 1) define research question, 2) protocol development, 3) literature search, 4) screening and selection of studies, 5) data extraction, 6) assessing risk of bias, 7) synthesis and grading of total strength of evidence, and 8) reporting according to certain standards. Discussion: This guide is based on the guidelines developed for the fifth edition of NNR but includes some important new domains in order to adhere to more recent, authoritative standards. Conclusion: All qualified SRs in the NNR2022 project will follow the protocol described here.</p

Enteral nutrition with medium-chain triglyceride compared to total parenteral nutrition in patient with chylothorax: an evidence based case report
Get PDFIntroduction: Chylothorax is associated with longer length of stay, higher morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization cost. The main principle of chylothorax therapy is to reduce the chylous flow. The current nutritional management of patients with chylothorax are a low fat diet with long chain triglyceride (LCT) restriction, enteral nutrition with high medium chain triglyceride (MCT), and total parenteral nutrition. However, low fat diet with LCT restriction takes quite a long time (around 3 weeks) and requires close monitoring due to risk for malnutrition, essential fatty acid, and micronutrient deficiencies. The nutritional management determines the success of conservative therapy in chylothorax patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether a high MCT enteral diet is more superior than total parenteral nutrition regarding the resolution of chylothorax.
Method: Literature searching was conducted using advanced searching in three large databases: Pubmed, Science Direct, and ProQuest using eligibility criteria determined by the authors. Quality of evidences were assessed based on GRADE Guidelines. Level evidence was determined based on Oxford Center of Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM).
Result: Three systematic reviews and one cohort met the PICO and eligibility criteria that had been set. Two studies concluded that enteral nutrition was better than parenteral nutrition. One study concluded that parenteral nutrition could be considered first and one study could not conclude which kind of nutrition was better.
Conclusion: Administration of high MCT enteral nutrition can be the first line therapy in patients with chylothorax and still need close monitoring during the administration. One of the factors that need to be monitored is the daily production of chylothorax volume. The results shown by these studies are inconsistent and warrant further research of high-quality studies regarding the treatment of chylothorax
