| This module focuses on the biological bases of nutritional requirements in pregnancy, lactation, infancy, and childhood through adolescence. The beneficial and adverse outcomes of diverse nutrient intakes and dietary patterns are critically analysed. The assessment of nutritional status, and the integration of nutrition, other life sciences, and social conditions in understanding nutritional needs during these life stages are stressed. Topics include oral contraception and health; relationships between maternal diet and pregnancy outcomes; breast- and formula feeding; childhood and adolescent obesity; and the nutritional needs of young children and adolescents. |
