Q

Primary lipoproteins are…

A

LDL - major carrier, 60-70% of cholesterol

VLDL - major carrier of TG, 10-15% of total chol

IDL - formed from the b’down of VLDL, similar to LDL

HDL - made in SI and LIV – 20-30% of chol – TRANSPORTS lipids to the liver for recycling and removal. INVERSELY correlated with CVD

Non-HDL - TOTAL chol MINUS HD —OR— sum of LDL, VLDL, and IDL; STRONGLY associated with CVD

Q

30% of deaths related to five leading behavior and dietary risks:

A

1) high BMI

2) low intake of fruits and veggies

3) physical inactivity

4) tobacco use

5) alcohol intake

18
Q

Goals of nutritional care with cancer…

A

1) prevent/resolve nutrient deficiencies
2) achieve/maintain health weight
3) preserve LBM
4) minimize nutrition related side effects
5) max quality of life

19
Q

Physical activity protection against acquiring cancers…how?

e.g. which cancers

A

balancing caloric intake with EE

other means = changes affecting hormonal environment(s)

colon, endometrial, ovarian, breast

20
Q

Exercise in the TREATMENT of cancer is to….

A

maintain and improve CV conditioning
prevent MSK deterioration
reduce symptoms, e.g. nausea, fatigue
improve mental outlook and quality of life

21
Q

American Cancer Society nutrition guidelines

A

Limit processed meat and red meat

Consume 2.5 cups of veggies and fruits daily

Choose whole grains vs. refined

Alcohol — limit consumption to no > than 1 drink/day for women and 2 drinks/day for men

22
Q

Most common forms of arthritis

A

OA - leading cause of disability in the US

RA

23
Q

Majority of cases d/t…

A

secondary to trauma and/or obesity

24
Q

Joints most often affected by OA

A

C and L spine, hip, knee, distal joints of hand

25
Q

Classification of functional status for RA

A

I = able to do self care and ADL, vocational and avo

II = able to do self care and vocational, lmtd avo

III - able to do self care, lmtd vocational and avo

IV = limited in self care, vocational and avo

26
Q

Optimal approach to OA

A

exercise and weight loss

27
Q

Primary goals of exercise

A

1) improve CV fitness and lower CAD risk
2) increase mm endurance and strength
3) maintain or improve ROM and joint flexibility

28
Q

special considerations for exercise

A

Acute flare ups, pain –> avoid STRENUOUS exercise, gentle ROM is fine

Pain lasting longer than 2 hours post exercise, higher than pre session = reduce duration or intensity

29
Q

LBP defn

A

recurring or persistent condition with a fluctuating course over time

Acute = < 3 mos
Chronic = > 3 mos

30
Q

Typical age

A

45-64 years

80% of people will have a bout in their lifetime

31
Q

Acute LBP is usually ______________ in nature

A

mechanical – yet underlying cause is unknown so tx is uncertain

32
Q

Strategies for enhancing back health

A

a) prevent deconditioning of mm around spine

b) avoid painful ROM

c) choose low or nonimpact activities - cardiorespiratory endurance, e.g. walking, recumbent biking

33
Q

Osteoporosis defn

A

bone mineral density (BMD) that is 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean

Characterized by low bone mass and disrupted microarchitecture

34
Q

Most common fracture sites

A

proximal femur, vertebrae spinal, distal forearm

35
Q

Why are hip fractures most devastating?

A

associated with severe disability and increased mortality

36
Q

Osteopenia bone density

A

between 1.0-2.5 standard deviations below the mean

37
Q

Two most important nutrients are

A

Calcium and Vit D

38
Q

Alcohol association, and servings

3 risks

A

More than 2 drinks/day for women

3 drinks/day for men

Impaired bone health
Increased risk of falling
Potential alcoholism

39
Q

Vit D recs dosage

A

Under age 50 = 400-800 IU

50 and older = 800-1000 IU

Safe upper limit is 4,000 IU/day

40
Q

Healthy range vit d in blood

A

30-60 ng/mL

41
Q

Exercise and osteoporosis - 2 primary goals

A

1) retain and/or prevent loss of bone minerals

2) decrease the risk of falls/fractures
