4 features of failure to thrive
- delayed motor skills
- language acquisition
- social skills
- refusal to eat
organic causes of failure to thrive (7)
- infection
- anemia
- congenital heart defect
- malabsorption syndromes
- heart and renal problems
- endocrine problems
7 intellectual development delay
non- organic cause if more predominate than organic (4)
- lack of food
- poor feeding
- over- dilute of formula
- breast milk is not enough if women is under stress and malnutrition
non organic causes of FTT (3)
- abnormal development and behavior of child
- distorted relationship between care- giver and child
- may be associated with deprived background or high income parents with distorted health beliefs
3 general patterns of FTT
- decreased head circumference
- normal HC, weight impaired, height normal
- normal HC, lower wt and lowered ht
tx of extreme FTT
- hospitalization
- tube feeding
- 150% calories
- individualized medical and social support
nutrient needs determined individually according to 3
- extent and intensity of the pubertal growth spurt
- gender difference in growth and body composition change
- differences among individuals in terms of the timing of the pubertal growth spurt
Tanner’s sexual maturation rating
standards used clinically to describe the stage of development
what is SMR based on
the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics
SMR1
rapid growth but no discernable sexual changes
timing of bone mass and skeletal growth
SMR2 in females
SMR3-4 in males with 40% of peak bone mass
Tanner breast stage 3
the timing of the pubertal growth spurt
peak weight accumulation for female
6-9 mons before peak height velocity (42% of adult mass)
peak weight accumulation for male
same time as peak height velocity (51% of adult mass)
LBM accumulation in female
peaks at SMR 3-4, shortly after height gain complete
LBM accumulation in male
peaks at SMR 5, after stature gain is complete
female growth characteristics (5)
- sexual maturation takes place earlier, then growth stops
- timing depends on environmental factors (menarche timing decreased by 3-4 months/ decade)
- menarche tends to occur 1 year after breast development
- later menses associated with longer period of growth
- sexual maturation stops, linear growth stops
male growth characteristics (4)
- growth can continue after sexual maturation has ended
- greater growth spurt: more prolonged, more intense, occurs at a later year –> longer total period of growth
- great increase in lungs, heart and abdominal viscera
- combined actions of several hormones
how much weight can be reached in adolescence
50% of adult weight
final stage of skeletal growth
epiphyses fuse at the end of long bone with main portion of bone and growth in stature ceases
why does male require high nutrient and calorie during growth spurt
- LBM/ muscle increase in males –> muscle has higher metabolism rate
- they have intense, prolonged, growth period
what is the critical female body mass and body fat composition for onset of menses
47.8kg (105lb)
17% of body fat
what is time of peak height velocity corresponded to
maximum fat loss and muscle mass increase in upper arm
12 external factors on influencing the eating behavior
- fast food
- food fads
- poor nutrition knowledge
- sociocultural
- neurochemical
- psychological
- food availability
- skipped meal
- role of mass media
- parenting practise
- personal experience
- smoking
