Annotation: The purpose of this project was to develop and apply a model for providing comprehensive nutrition services for children in Utah who have certain developmental disabilities or disease conditions. The objectives of the project were to (1) provide comprehensive nutrition care and expand resources; (2) demonstrate the costs and benefits of providing nutrition services to those children with selected developmental disabilities using an economic model; and (3) obtain third-party reimbursement for nutrition services provided to children with selected special health needs.

Annotation: This module of a series on nutrition in health promotion directs its information at physicians. The subject is clinical applications of biochemistry to patient care. Topics covered are need to eat, glucose utilization, fat deposition, protein metabolism, low-carbohydrate diets, and non-nutritive diet constituents such as fiber, cholesterol, and caffeine. This teaching guide is written to provide a comprehensive foundation of nutrition concepts to comprehend the role of nutrition in health promotion.

Annotation: This workshop discussed three major programs (in Guatemala, Montreal, and Taiwan) for supplementing the diets of pregnant women with calories and protein. It also examined a metabolic balance study of pregnant adolescents with an emphasis on protein. Finally, studies using formula dietary supplements in New York, Omaha, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. were considered. The goals of the workshop were to focus attention on problems, gaps, and omissions in nutrition services for pregnant women; to assemble and evaluate current data on the dietary needs of pregnant women; and to prepare an interim report on the value of nutritional supplementation during pregnancy, with emphasis on calories and protein.

Annotation: This report summaries the results of studies conducted in 1970 to assess the effect of dietary supplementation on the metabolic processes in low-income children ages 7 to 9 who live in the southeastern United States (Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Virginia). It explores the nutritional interrelationships between minerals and nutrients and the impact that supplements have on dietary deficiencies. Daily menus, nutritional content, participants' age, height, and weight, and data related to blood, urine, and fecal samples taken before, during, and after the intervention are included.

Annotation: This report presents a consensus approach to therapeutic nutrition, with an emphasis on recovery from acute catabolic episodes that produce drastic metabolic derangement of normal physiological processes. The report includes the following sections: (1) functions of components of diet in metabolism, (2) non-dietary factors affecting metabolism, (3) the endocrine glands and metabolism, (4) evaluation of nutritional status, (5) consequences of nutritional deficiency, (6) the relation of protein disequilibrium to disease, (7) nutritional requirements of the sick, injured, and convalescent, (8) therapeutic nutrition for specified conditions, (9) the treatment of starvation and severe undernutrition, (10) problems of nutrition under emergency disaster situations, (11) the problem of prophylaxis against emergency nutritional deficiency: minimal allowances and rationing, (12) summary and conclusions, and (13) references.
