Life Span Nutrition

Catalog description

Physiologic and biochemical principles and results of current research are used to build a foundation for exploration of nutrition across the stages of growth and development, maturation and again. These serve as a basis for consideration of the social, economic, physiologic, and life style factors that influence nutrition status, food choices, and specific life stage concerns. Particular attention is paid to using the principles of nutrition in planning and implementing recommendations for dietary change. The course is designed for undergraduate students in dietetics and health-related programs.
