NUTRITION AND GROWTH GEBUNDEN

Optimal nutrition is difficult to achieve. Insufficient energy and nutrient intake leads to
inadequate growth  whereas too much can result in increased risk of non-communicable diseases
(mainly obesity) and may adversely affect children with chronic diseases. Our understanding of
the pathophysiology of inappropriate growth and the pathways involved in optimal and catch-up
growth is constantly evolving. There is also new data emerging on the role of genes and the
interaction between nutrition and epigenetic changes involved in growth  as well as on the
interplay between nutrition and growth factors and hormones in health and disease states. In
this latest yearbook  noted specialists present leading studies related to various aspects of
nutrition and growth published between July 2017 and June 2018. Each study is summarized  with
comments  providing additional and helpful views of interpretation. The book will provide
useful and valuable information for health care providers  physicians  nurses  dieticians 
scientists  and anyone else interested in nutrition.
