RESEARCH IN FOCUS
Energy Expenditure, energy intake, and nutritional status among Filipino female older persons

oldwoman.gifVery few data, if at all, are available on the nutritional needs of Filipino older persons to provide an accurate basis for determining their energy requirements and formulating related nutritional guidelines. The present use of the FAO/WHO/UNU (1985) equations and the factorial method to determine energy expenditure needs to be compared with the recently International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - recommended Doubly Labeled Water (DLW) technique using stable isotopes. Under an IAEA–Coordinated Research Program (IAEA-CRP) inter-country grant to the FNRI, these new information and new application skills were made available to the Institute.  ABSTRACT >>>POSTER

Nutritional evaluation of 14 typical Filipinos one-day menus

 1.  Energy, protein, vitamin A and C content of cooked menu relative to RENI
 2.  Iron, calcium and zinc availability of cooked menus

meals.jpgMeals or diets designed to be RENI-adequate are formulated using the Philippine FCT which are based on raw foods. The energy and nutrient compositions are underestimated due to undetermined cooking losses, variations in availability due to enhancers/inhibitors, and interactions between and among the food components. Direct analysis of cooked meals/diets of one-day menus using current methods would give better estimates of the nutrient composition, RENI adequacy and availability of the FNRI-formulated one-day menus than the FCT-based calculations.

 Visualization of nutritionally adequate one-day menu

one_day.jpgThe 2002 Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intakes (RENI) are the latest recommendations on the intake levels by Filipino population groups. These levels of energy and nutrients were previously translated into four sets of seven RENI-adequate one-day menus. Subsequently, the need was realized to visualize these menus through a simple brochure to become a graphic tool that would help the nutrition and health workers in educating the community and family members on the right combintations of foods, their correct serving portions and their nutritional value.   ABSTRACT >>>POSTER
