The effect of nutrient supplements on high risk long term care residents receiving pureed diets.

This study assessed the change in nutritional intake and status of 15 nursing home residents receiving a pureed diet along with commercial supplements over a 6 month period. The nutritional supplements were well accepted with a significant increase in the energy and nutrient intake after their addition. Gastrointestinal distress was measured by stool size and number. The mean number of stools increased over the 6 month period with the stool sizes remaining relatively the same. Decubitus status was monitored and seven of the ten residents who had some form of decubiti demonstrated signs of complete or partial healing. After three and six months of supplementation hematocrit and serum albumin levels significantly increased.

A comparative study of two nutrient data bases.

Reported dietary intake records of 18 infants, 22 young children, and 20 women were analyzed using the nutrient data base systems of the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) and the Nutrient Dietary Data Analysis (NDDA) System. Significant differences between the nutrient data bases were found in the calculations of potassium and niacin for infants and of energy and nine nutrients for women and children. The energy and nutrient composition of many commonly consumed food items in the two nutrient data base systems was different, even though the systems shared common data sources. Differences in the nutrient data bases were primarily due to the timing of data base updates, as well as to the differential use of industry, private, and government food analysis sources, procedural differences in data base updating, and random data entry error. Resolution of differences among nutrient data base systems may depend upon comprehensive reviews of all data base systems or the establishment of a national nutrient data base to serve as a standard for the professional.

Dietary assessment of pregnant adolescents participating in a supplemental-food program.

We analyzed the energy-, nutrient- and food-intake patterns of pregnant adolescents before and during participation in a supplemental-food program. The dietary data on the pregnant adolescents were compared to those on older pregnant women and non-pregnant adolescents. Weight gain per trimester, hemoglobin and hematocrit values were reported. In general, the mean energy and nutrient values calculated from the diets of diet-supplemented, low-income pregnant adolescents as compared to other groups from the same area were not significantly different; however, the values calculated as a percentage of the recommended daily allowances (RDA) were significantly higher for the other groups. Mean weight gain per trimester for all the pregnant groups was within the recommended ranges. Mean hemoglobin and hematocrit values were within normal limits and comparable to values reported in other studies. The energy and nutrient values for the diets of the supplemented group were less than the RDA for several nutrients. However, when compared to the findings of most earlier studies, the mean values were greater.
