Abstract
Purpose of review: This review aims to highlight background of contributing factors for suboptimal nutrition in individuals with spina bifida and introduce strategies for amelioration.
Recent findings: Recent studies demonstrate increased risk of metabolic syndrome by neurosegmental level, which is associated with truncal obesity and reduced mobility. From the neonatal intensive care stay, which may disrupt breast feeding and the developing microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract, to early childhood various insults may lead to suboptimal feeding practices, preferences and dietary intake. Family coping skills, financial stressors may lead to food insecurity and/or residence in an area with limited availability of fresh food. As children grow, weakness and challenging transfers may lead to more sedentary lifestyle and weight gain despite limited linear growth. Body habitus changes including atrophy of the lower extremities may lead to decreased muscle mass and reduced energy expenditure, with predisposition to truncal obesity and metabolic syndrome.
期刊介绍：
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
