Background. Dietary habits are known to influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, which even in childhood are a predictor of future morbidity. Our objective was determining the impact of a school-based intervention of providing fruit daily in the classroom and its effects on risk factors for CVD, and dietary habits. Methods. The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 2 public and 2 private schools, one of each in an intervention and control group. Measurements at both the start and end of 8 weeks were aimed to identify any changes in physiological measures, and child food choices. Results. The intervention had minimal impact on physiological variables but was effective in improving the amount of fruit and vegetables consumed and preferences toward fruit intake. Parent activity and dietary choices were poor at baseline, but significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group over the 8 weeks. Conclusion. This intervention was effective in improving the amoun...

Background. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease more commonly occurring among Caucasians. An electrolyte derangement, pseudo-Bartter syndrome (PBS) is a complication leading to failure to thrive. Objectives. To describe the prevalence of PBS and related nutritional status in infants with CF detected after a newborn screening test who were treated in a Brazilian town with a very warm climate. Methods. This was a retrospective study with data collected from medical records. The diagnosis of PBS was based on hypokalemia (K+ 7.45; bicarbonate >28 mEq/L). The anthropometric data assessed were weight and length at the following: birth, diagnosis of CF, diagnosis of PBS, and discharge from hospital after correction of PBS and at 12 months of age. The nutritional indicators were weight/height, weight/age, length/age, and body mass index/age ratios. The cutoff point was z-score < p ...

Purpose: Family health is a system comprising routines or habitual practices. This study investigated the relationships between maternal self-efficacy (SE) and obesity, habitual smoking, breastfeeding, and children’s sleeping patterns. Methods: Participants (98 women) attending a weight loss clinic reported on themselves and their 172 biological children. Mothers provided demographic information for parents and children and completed the 20-item Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Scale (FNPA). Maternal SE was assessed with a 13-item Confidence Survey, which measures confidence to carry out activities related to healthy family meals and family activity. FNPA results have been reported in an earlier publication. Results: Normal-weight mothers had more favorable (higher) SE scores compared with overweight mothers. There were positive relationships between SE and the FNPA and children’s sleep patterns in younger children. There were no significant relationships between SE and children’s body mass index (B...

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasing in prevalence in children in the United States. This disease has been traditionally managed with medications, and behavioral management programs are available to help craft the home and school environments to help the child function better. Nutrition therapy can also be used to complement these management techniques. This article reviews research regarding specific food components in the management of behaviors associated with ADHD. Additionally, nutrition recommendations for registered dietitians and other health care providers who work with children with behavioral disorders such as ADHD are provided.

Background. Food allergies are a growing problem among American children. There is currently no cure for food allergy. Food allergies are managed by strictly eliminating allergens from the diet, which may lead to poor nutrient intake and poor growth. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze changes in calcium intake and growth in children with multiple food allergies after medical nutrition therapy (MNT). Materials and Methods. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 50 patients with 2 or more food allergies. At least one of their food allergies was nutritionally significant: milk, soy, wheat, or egg. Weight and length/height were recorded from the medical record from the initial allergist visit (visit 1), the initial dietitian visit (visit 2), and the follow-up dietitian visit (visit 3). Dietary intake was collected from the medical record from visits 2 and 3 and calcium intake was calculated based on these data. Results. Weight-for-age and weight-for-length or body mass index (BMI)-for...
