... Infants and children with growth faltering often need an enhanced intake of energy and nutrients. Increasing the energy density, i.e., the amount of energy per food portion or per milliliter of a liquid food, can increase the total energy intake, even when the total amount of food taken...

...Key Messages Advisable daily enteral and parenteral nutrient intake values for very low birth weight infants were derived based on a considered review of the available evidence and a formal consensus process with the authors contributing to this book. Different nutrient intake values...

... Abstract Toddlers and young children need an adequate and diverse diet to provide all of the nutrients required for optimal growth and development. Unfortunately, inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals is still identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a major public health...

... Abstract Malnutrition can significantly affect oral health, and poor oral health in turn can result in malnutrition. This co-dependent relationship, therefore, relies on good nutritional health promoting good oral health and vice versa. A diet lacking nutrients can lead to disease progression...

... Abstract Usual energy and nutrient intakes and food sources were evaluated in school-aged children in the Philippines using data from the 2013 National Nutrition Survey. A total of 6,565 children 6-12 years old from all sampled 8,592 households were interviewed for a 24-h dietary recall (first...

Nutrient intakes have been estimated with the use of the factorial method based on the assumption that catch-up growth comprises essentially a restoration of lean body mass, with restoration of fat mass optional. The basic...
