Term
EAR
Definition
Estimated Average Requirements
Term
RDA
Definition
Recommended dietary allowances
Term
AI
Definition
adequate intakes (vit/min)
Term
TULI
Definition
tolerable upper level intakes- should not consume beyond this amount

Definition
45-65% CHO
20-35% Fat
10-35% Protien
Term
MyPlate focuses
Definition
balance calories-portions (enjoy food, eat less)
increase FVI
1/2 grains whole
<1% milk
reduce sodium and drink water
Term
DASH
Definition
lower sodium
^ fiber from FVI (8-10 servings)
low fat/free dairy- Ca and K
4-5 times/week vegetarian protein sources (nuts/seeds)
Term
Factors of Eating Behaviors
Definition
1. demographics
2. psychosocial
Term
Demographics
Definition
1. age- ^ FVI
2. gender- ^ women
3. education- higher ed= higher income= ^FVI
4. more PA ^ FVI
Term
Strongest correlates/predictors of FVI
Definition
1. self efficacy
2. social support
3. knowledge
Term
Psychosocial predictors of FVI
Definition
3 correlates
barriers- awareness and ability to overcome
need strong intensions
stages of change focus
Term
NOT associated with FVI
Definition
1. acculturation- adopting to different culture/country
2. meat/vegetarian preference
3. neophobia- fear of new foods
4. religiosity- not enough evidence
5. susceptibility/severity of disease- no difference
Term
Knowledge FVI predictor
Definition
variety of info- exp. where, fresh, colors, season, storage, preparation
need SE or social support or behavior won't last
Term
Support calorie info
Definition
difficult for public/professionals to estimate- underestimate
menu labeling changes behavior as long as there is an alternative choice
Term
Against calorie info
Definition
can see count on menus online or ask
high cost
effect on revenue IF not given alternatives
low nutrient literacy
Term
reengineering strategies for mindless eating
Definition
1. think 20% more or less
2. "mindless margin" 100+ gain, 100- lose (don't notice)
3. see all you eat
4. be your own tablescraper- smaller dishes
5. make overeating a hassle not habit (put away extras, serving dishes on counter, inconvenient storage)
6. avoid distractions
-"friend effect" more people, more you eat
7. expectations to be a better cook- descriptive
8. comfort foods more comforting- moderation, enjoy
9. gate keeper- take control of food around you
10. portion size
Term
Factors and influence individuals/communities

2. beliefs- importance
3. attitudes- shaped by beliefs
4. behavior
Term
Benefits of Nutrition Ed.
Definition
1. informed choices
exp. organic vs non?
Term
Challenges of Nutrition Ed.
Definition
difficult to change behaviors, go BEYOND despensing knowledge, non-compliance
Term
Peer Review Literature
Definition
gold standard for scientific information published in journal
Term
Epidemiology
Definition
study of the distribution and determinants of disease frequency in human population
Term
Epi. assumptions
Definition
1. human disease does NOT occur at random
2. causal and preventative factors of disease can be identified through systematic investigation
Term
Objectives of Epidemiology
Definition
1. determine extent of disease found in community
2. evaluate new preventative measures
3. learn about natural history and course of disease
4. identify causes (including risk factors) of diseases
5. provide foundation for public policy development
Term
Pattern of reasoning Epi
Definition
1. develop hypothesis
2. test hypothesis
3. collect and analyze data
4. assess validity of association (no chance, bias, confounders)
5. association cause and effect?
Term
Chance
Definition
random error, must rule out
Term
Null Hypothesis
Definition
no difference exists in what you are researching
exp. FVI has no association with BMI
Term
Type I error
Definition
rejecting null hypothesis when it is true
Term
Type II error
Definition
accept null when false
Term
P-value
Definition
lower, stronger association
<0.05 high association (not due to chance/ random error)
>0.05 low association, results may be due to chance/re)
Term
confidence interval
Definition
true estimate range
Term
Bias
Definition
NONrandom error leading to distortion of results
Term
selection bias
Definition
non-comparable enrollment criteria
Term
misclassification bias
Definition
criteria used to classify participants leads to misclassification of disease
Term
interviewer bias
Definition
investigator knows disease status and interprets data noncomparably
-make sure they are aware to prevent
Term
recall bias
Definition
subjects report events concombarably
exp. more concerned when diagnosed with disease, not diet
Term
non-response bias
Definition
differences in groups
exp. not participating, tracking subgroups
Term
confounding variable
Definition
causally related to the disease under study AND is associated with the exposure under study
exp. smoking in gambling>lung cancer relationship
Term
controlling confounding
Definition
1. design of study- randomizing, matching others
2. analysis of study (multivariate analysis to control for associated variables)
Term
Types of epidemiological studies
Definition
descriptive and analytical
Term
Descriptive Epidemiology
Definition
study of amount and distribution of disease within a population by person, place, and time
-provides patterns of disease occurrence
Term
Types of descriptive studies
Definition
population and individuals
Term
Population descriptive epi studies
Definition
correlational (not causation), ecologic aggregate
Term
Individual descriptive epi studies
Definition
1. case report
2. case series
Term
Case report
Definition
detailed single patient
Term
Case series
Definition
describes characteristics of a number of patients with a given disease
Term
Strengths of descriptive epi studies
Definition
useful to generate hypothesis, never answer
quick and inexpensive (already data collected)
Term
Weaknesses of descriptive epi studies
Definition
not analytical
not generalizable to individuals
