"Growth as an indicator of health is more sensitive than commonly believed and can serve as an early sign of imbalance, before other malfunctions manifest themselves. Particularly in developing countries, growth failure in infants and children is related to mortality, morbidity and impaired brain development, and increases the risk of adult-onset non-communicable diseases. This publication focuses on the challenges of the interaction between nutrition and growth in the pediatric age group. Subjects covered include the interplay between nutrition and the IGF axis; early feeding and later growth; growth charts (including an update on the implementation of the WHO growth standards); various aspects of obesity; nutrition and growth of premature infants and of children with specific diseases; and the interaction between bone health, nutrition and growth. Containing lectures from the '1st International Conference on Nutrition and Growth' (Paris 2012), this book is a valuable source of information for pediatricians, nutritionists, neonatologists, and experts in child development"--Publisher's website

Food recalls, recently of beef, spinach, peanut butter, and cookie dough, have made people nervous about eating some of their favorite foods. Every year, millions of people contract a food-borne illness. While many cases are nothing more than an upset stomach, some result in serious sickness. Nutrition and Food Safety explores the many risks to our food and water supplies, including bacterial contamination, agricultural pesticides, food additives, allergens, and industrial chemicals. Rapid changes in the food industry often outpace the ability of government oversight to protect the consumer. L

The presentation of nutrition information on a serving size basis is a strategy that has been adopted by several countries to promote healthy eating. Variation in serving size, however, can alter the nutritional values reported on food labels and compromise the food choices made by the population. This narrative review aimed to discuss (1) current nutrition labelling legislation regarding serving size and (2) the implications of declared serving size for nutrition information available on packaged foods. Most countries with mandatory food labelling require that serving size be presented on food labels, but variation in this information is generally allowed. Studies have reported a lack of standardisation among serving sizes of similar products which may compromise the usability of nutrition information. Moreover, studies indicate that food companies may be varying serving sizes as a marketing strategy to stimulate sales by reporting lower values of certain nutrients or lower energy values on nutrition information labels. There is a need to define the best format for presenting serving size on food labels in order to provide clear and easily comprehensible nutrition information to the consumer.

Medical personnel and medical librarians may tend to think of nutrition in medical terms and to forget its interdisciplinary aspects. For this reason, it is desirable for medical librarians to become familiar with a variety of sources of information on the composition of foods, nutrient values, food additives, and food protection. Many of these are government publications from such agencies as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Research Council, and the Food and Agriculture Organization. Less familiar sources include nutrition materials from state agricultural experiment stations and extension services and important data published in a wide range of scientific or agricultural journals, which may be located through Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, and the Bibliography of Agriculture. Sources of current information on nutrition research in progress include the Department of Agriculture's Current Research Information System (CRIS) and selective listings from the Smith-sonian Information Exchange.

Stunting / stunted growth / nutritional stunting is a decrease in height growth rate as measured by the value of height by age under minus 2 standard deviations of the WHO child growth standards graph. In 2016 as many as 22.9% (154.8 million) of children under 5 years of age suffered from stunting and Indonesia is on the 5th place of country that suffers most from stunting. The main cause of stunting is unbalanced nutritional factors in quantity and quantity during growth period. Other causes are human factors (infant and child feeding practices, severe infections that cause wasting, subclinical infections, low birth weight babies and premature infants and social factors (household poverty, neglect of caregiving, unresponsive eating practices, inadequate child stimulation, food insecurity, limited health services, access to clean water and sanitation) Children can be predicted to be stunting by measuring height periodically since birth and most effective intervention to prevent stunting is to increase children's diet quality. The government role as program and policy makers is to create a Kerangka Intervensi Stunting (Stunting Intervention Framework), namely Specific Nutrition Interventions and Sensitive Nutrition Interventions. In conclusion, stunting can be predicted and can be prevented. Provision of MPASI in accordance with WHO recommendations that are timely, adequate, safe and are given in right manner is a specific nutrition intervention that can prevent stuntingKeywords: stunting, nutritional, growth.

RésuméNUTRITION ET SOCIOLOGIEDestinéà des lecteurs pour la plupart médecins nutritionistes, cet article constitute une sensibilisation à la sociologie dans ses rapports avec la nutrition. II tend à la fois à faire prendre conscience des consequences sociologiques des travaux des nutritionistes et à mettre ceuxci en garde contre certains cliches, certains modèles trop simples souvent considers comme vdrites d'évidence. II doit conduire au souhait d'un dialogue interdisciplinaire qui seul peut permettre la solution des problèmes concrets qui ne relèvent jamais d'une seule discipline, de la compétence d'un spécialiste.SummaryNUTRITION AND SOCIOLOGYDestined for readers who are for the greater part physicians specializing in nutrition, this article attempts to make them sensitive for the uses of sociology in relation to nutrition. It tends at the same time to make people conscious of the sociological consequences of the work of nutritionists and to warn the latter against certain cliches, certain models which are too simple, which are often considered as truisms.It must indicate a willingness to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue that alone can allow the solution of concrete problems which never depend on one single discipline, on the competence of one specialist.ZusammenfassungERNAHRUNGSWISSENSCHAFT UND SOZIOLOGIEDieser Artikel ist für Leser bestimmt, die in erster Linie Ernah‐rungswissenschaftler sind; es wird versucht, sie auf den Nutzen der Soziologie fur die Ernährungswissenschaft aufmerksam zu machen. Zugleich wird angestrebt, das Bewußtsein für die soziologischen Konsequenzen emahrungswissenschaftlicher Forschung zu schärfen; auch sollen die Ernahrungswissenschafder selbst vor bestimmten Klischées und vor allzu einfachen Modellen, die häufig als objektive Tatsachen gelten, gewarnt werden.Der Wunsch, einen interdisziplinären Dialog herbeizuführen, mul? gefordert werden. Nur dieser Versuch kann zur Lösung konkreter Probleme beitragen, zumal die Problemlösung keineswegs aus‐schließlich von einer einzigen Wissenschaftsdisziplin, geschweigedenn von der Kompetenz eines einzigen Spezialisten abhängig ist.

When developing a new product, many obstacles have to be overcome from the idea to the shelf: know-how from different subject areas is called for to create a product that is not only technically feasible, but also complies with regulations and meets consumer needs and preferences. This book addresses and tries to identify forces that potentially drive innovation in pediatric nutrition, an endeavor which surpasses research, clinical and academic thinking. The likelihood of translating innovative research concepts into practical applications depends on a large number of factors; Clinical studies, adherence to regulatory standards and environments of various countries, policy and politics on child health and nutrition, marketing issues, economic considerations as well as the state of food technology all determine whether and how a product can be brought to the market. Expectations and response of both consumers and health care professionals are likewise of very high importance.Due to its broad scope, this publication is of interest to everyone involved in one way or another in the development and launch of new products for pediatric nutrition.
