Overview of Nutrition Related Diseases Foundation

Learning objectives To understand that diet has an impact on health. To understand the concept of “disease of affluence” or “disease of poverty”. To know a variety of dietary related diseases and their associated risk factors, e.g. coronary heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, iron deficiency and anaemia.

A balanced diet A balanced diet is based on the guidelines of My Plate. An unbalanced diet can lead to dietary related diseases.

Disease of Poverty - Under nutrition Worldwide, Kwashiorkor and marasmus are two common diseases caused by a lack of protein and energy. Fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and minerals are stored in the body so it takes time for deficiency diseases to develop. Water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body so low intakes usually lead to signs of deficiency relatively quickly.

Disease of Affluence - Over nutrition Over nutrition is a problem usually associated with developed countries, such as the United Kingdom. The most common over nutrition problem is obesity with too much energy being consumed, or high levels of inactivity.

Malnutrition Having intakes of energy and/or nutrients below or in excess of needs for long periods of time can affect health. This is called malnutrition. Children suffer the effects of starvation (not enough food) more quickly than adults.

Risks of malnutrition The risk of malnutrition is increased by: • increased requirements for some nutrients; • restricted range of foods; • reduction in available income; • very low income; • medical conditions; • psychological conditions.

Risk factors for cancer Cancer is a complex disease which can take a long time to develop. A wide variety of factors are involved in the development of cancer, including: • age; • genetics; • environment; • hormones; • infections.

Common cancers Cancer is the development of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer can occur in different parts of the body. The most common cancers re: • lung, prostate and colon cancer in men; • breast, lung and colon cancer in women.

Cancer prevention The World Cancer Research Fund has released 8 prevention strategies for cancer. 1. Be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight. 2. Be physically active as part of everyday life. 3. Limit consumption of energy dense foods. 4. Eat mostly foods of plant origin. 5. Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat. 6. Limit alcoholic drinks. 7. Limit consumption of salt. 8. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone.

Coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels to the heart. This reduces the flow of blood to the heart. If one of the blood vessels becomes completely blocked, the blood supply to part of the heart stops and that part is damaged. This is called a heart attack.

Risk of CHD The chance of suffering from CHD is affected by many factors. These are called risk factors. Factors that increase the risk of CHD include - - having: a family history of CHD; high blood cholesterol level; high blood pressure; high intake of saturated fats; diabetes. - being: male; older; a cigarette smoker; overweight; inactive. stressed.

Diet and CHD High intakes of fat, especially saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Changes to the diet to reduce the risk of CHD include: • increasing oily fish intake; • reducing salt intake; • increase fruit and vegetables; • decrease alcohol consumption.

Obesity If a person regularly consumes more energy from food and drink than they need, they will start to gain weight, eventually becoming overweight. For example, energy in > energy out. Extra energy from food and drink is stored in the body as fat. There are a range of weights which are considered healthy for a given height. A person who is very overweight is obese. Obesity is becoming increasingly common in North America, Australia and Europe.

Problems associated with obesity People who are obese are more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and some types of cancers. Being active is important in maintaining a healthy weight. Being slightly overweight is not a risk to health, but it is important to not continue gaining weight.

Bone health Calcium is important for strong bones. Vitamin D is needed for calcium to be absorbed from food. Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become weak, brittle and break easily. It is caused by severe losses of calcium.

Anaemia The mineral iron is vital for making red blood cells. Iron from the diet forms haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. If the body’s store of iron is low and there is too little iron in the diet, the symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia will start to develop. Large amounts of iron can be toxic.

Blood health Iron from animal sources is more easily absorbed than iron from plant sources. Vitamin C increases absorption of iron from plant sources. It is important that the diets of infants and young children contain foods rich in iron. Iron requirements increase during adolescence because of growth and for girls at the start of menstruation. Some women have very high iron requirements because they have large menstrual losses.

Prevention Total fat intake should represent 15 to 30% of total dietary energy intake. Added sugars, such as those found in soft drinks and many processed foods, should account for less than 10% of total energy intake. At least 400g of fruits and vegetables per day should be part of the diet. In general, a lifestyle combining physical activity with food variety and social interaction is the best way to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases.
