Nutritional requirements vary greatly according to age and
lifestyle. This evidence-based, comprehensive text is a complete
guide to eating habits across age and population groups. It
provides the recommendations for intakes of nutrients and foods,
and diet to achieve optimum health. Chapters systematically examine
the nutritional issues for individuals from preconception,
pregnancy and breastfeeding through to adulthood and old age. The
text features an overview of dietary patterns by age group based on
national scientific survey data together with the latest
recommendations for optimum nutrition to maintain well-being and
address specific health concerns. The final section examines
nutrition issues for specific populations including indigenous
groups, athletes and the disadvantaged. Throughout the text, key
points are illustrated by case studies and the reader's knowledge
is tested via quizzes and study questions. With chapters from
leading nutrition researchers and educators in Australia, New
Zealand and Asia, this is an excellent introduction to nutrition
through the lifespan. 'A comprehensive overview and detailed
discussion of food and nutrition topics for all ages and stages of
life.' - Robynne Snell, Curtin University
