Dealing With Disordered Eating Thoughts and Behaviors in Youth
Youth are vulnerable to societal pressures to be thin and are at higher risk of dieting to reduce body weight. Dieting can evolve into maladaptive behaviors intended to result in weight loss (disordered eating) because eating behaviors occur on a spectrum. This review is designed to assist clinicians in identifying and addressing disordered eating thoughts and behaviors in youths. Clinicians should rely on recognizing language describing disordered eating thoughts and behaviors, rather than on the youth's weight, when screening for disordered eating.

Meat Helps Make Every Bite Count: An Ideal First Food for Infants
New evidence-based dietary guidelines for feeding infants from birth to 24 months old recommend meat as an ideal first complementary food. Starting at 6 months old, infants need a variety of nutrient-dense foods, including foods that are rich in bioavailable iron and zinc. Because infants and toddlers eat small quantities of foods, it is critical to make every bite count in the early years. New parents are often unsure of optimal complementary feeding practices. The goal of this article is to review the role of red meat as a potential first complementary food for infants. (Source: Nutrition Today)

Did the Diet During Pregnancy of Mothers of Infants With Colic Differ From That of Control Infants?
Neonatal colic is a problem in many young infants. The dietary intakes of women during pregnancy may play an important role in maternal health and fetal development and also in the health of the baby's body system after birth. The aim of this study was to compare maternal food intake during pregnancy in infants with colic and in colic-free infants. We compared reports of food intake during pregnancy of 149 women whose infants had colic with 151 women whose infants did not have colic using a retrospective food frequency questionnaire. Few differences were found in maternal dietary intake of cheese, fish, and poultry during ...

A Knee Height Equation for Estimating Height of Vietnamese Adults
This study therefore determined the applicability of equations to estimate stature derived from American and Taiwanese research and then established a new equation from a group of 512 Vietnamese patients aged 18 to 64 years. In this study, 512 patients were divided into 2 groups, the established equation group (n = 400, 214 men and 186 women) and the validated equation group (n = 112, 61 men and 51 women). Based on the linear regression model, the new equation is: body height = 2.12 × knee height + 59.06 (cm) in males and body height = 2.09 × knee height + 57.37 (cm) in females. We calculated the heights of patients base...
