摘要:

The major nutritional problem facing the U.S. population is obesity. Obesity has recently been described as a disease state that precipitates at least 26 other disease states. A National Institutes of Health consensus panel has concluded that obesity is a potential killer. For example, people between ages 20 to 44 who are obese are FIVE TIMES more likely to have high blood pressure and THREE TIMES more likely to have diabetes. If obesity is defined as being 20% or more above desirable weight, then about 40% of American women between the ages of 40 and 49 are obese as are about 32% of men in the same age category. The eating disorders, anorexia and bulimia, are additional problems facing an increasing number of young women. In college women the incidence of anorexia is as high as 1 in 200. In order to understand this major nutritional problem it is necessary to understand the normal mechanisms of energy balance regulation and where these mechanisms fail. This discussion focuses on energy balance regulation and the factors influencing abnormal regulation that lead to either obesity or anorexia.

摘要:

This article examines four areas of nutrition which illustrate the political turmoil of the 1980s: education, food assistance, food quality and safety and research and monitoring.America is experiencing a Nutrition Renaissance, a rebirth of vigorous intellectual activity in the science of nutrition and its application to medicine and the health sciences. This Renaissance is based upon centuries of discovery and knowledge and has the characteristics of an evolutionary maturation, not of an eruptive revolution. It promises to result in the widest utilization of the wisdom of the past to benefit mankind—to preserve health, prolong years, enhance the quality of life and cure the ill—and, parenthetically, to accelerate the advancement of knowledge through research in the basic sciences.1
