Nutrition, Disease & Lifespan

Catalog description

The Recommended Dietary Allowances for nutrients change based on developmental phases and are affected by specific diseases. In this class, students categorize and prioritize nutritional needs and behaviors based on life stage issues and integrate them into appropriate dietary considerations and practices. By the end of the course, students evaluate and design nutritional plans from five categories of disease using developmental science, understanding of disease models, and behavioral interventions across individuals' lifespans.
