Describe six behavioral or social motives governing people's food choices.ANSWER:Preferences: As you might expect, the number one reason most people choose certain foodsis taste—they like the flavor. Two widely shared preferences are for the sweetness of sugarand the savoriness of salt. High-fat foods also appear to be a universally common preference.Habit: People sometimes select foods out of habit. They eat cereal every morning, forexample, simply because they have always eaten cereal for breakfast. Eating a familiar foodand not having to make any decisions can be comforting.Ethnic Heritage and Regional Cuisines: Among the strongest influences on food choices areethnic heritage and regional cuisines. People tend to prefer the foods they grew up eating.Every country, and in fact every region of a country, has its own typical foods and ways ofcombining them into meals. These cuisines reflect a unique combination of local ingredientsand cooking styles.Social Interactions: Most people enjoy companionship while eating. It’s fun to go out withfriends for a meal or share a snack when watching a movie together. Meals are often socialevents, and sharing food is part of hospitality. Social customs invite people to accept food ordrink offered by a host or shared by a group—regardless of hunger signals.Availability, Convenience, and Economy: People often eat foods that are accessible, quickand easy to prepare, and within their financial means. Consumers who value conveniencefrequently eat out, bring home ready-to-eat meals, or have food delivered.Positive and Negative Associations: People tend to like particular foods associated withhappy occasions—such as hot dogs at ball games or cake and ice cream at birthday parties.By the same token, people can develop aversions and dislike foods that they ate when theyfelt sick or that they were forced to eat in negative situations. Similarly, children learn to likeand dislike certain foods when their parents use foods as rewards or punishments.Emotions: Emotions guide food choices and eating behaviors. Some people cannot eat whenthey are emotionally upset. Others may eat in response to a variety of emotional stimuli—forexample, to relieve boredom or depression or to calm anxiety.Values: Food choices may reflect people’s religious beliefs, political views, or environmentalconcerns.Body Weight and Image: Sometimes people select certain foods and supplements that theybelieve will improve their physical appearance and avoid those they believe might bedetrimental. Such decisions can be beneficial when based on sound nutrition and fitnessknowledge, but decisions based on fads or carried to extremes undermine good health.Nutrition and Health Benefits: Many consumers make food choices they believe will improvetheir health.DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: UnderstandREFERENCES:1.1 Food ChoicesLEARNINGOBJECTIVES:UNUT.WHRO.16.1.1 - Describe how various factors influence personal food choices.99.

Discuss some of the consequences of eating in response to emotions.ANSWER:Emotions guide food choices and eating behaviors. Some people cannot eat when they areemotionally upset. Others may eat in response to a variety of emotional stimuli—forexample, to relieve boredom or depression or to calm anxiety. A depressed person maychoose to eat rather than to call a friend. A person who has returned home from an excitingevening out may unwind with a late-night snack. These people may find emotional comfort,in part, because foods can influence the brain’s chemistry and the mind’s response.Carbohydrates and alcohol, for example, tend to calm, whereas proteins and caffeine aremore likely to stimulate. Eating in response to emotions and stress can easily lead toovereating and obesity, but it may be helpful at times. For example, sharing food at times ofbereavement serves both the giver’s need to provide comfort and the receiver’s need to becared for and to interact with others as well as to take nourishment.DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: UnderstandREFERENCES:1.1 Food ChoicesLEARNINGOBJECTIVES:UNUT.WHRO.16.1.1 - Describe how various factors influence personal food choices.101.

Explain the importance of the placebo and the double-blind technique in carrying out research studies.ANSWER:Placebos: If people who take vitamin C for colds believe it will cure them, their chances ofrecovery may improve. Taking pills believed to be beneficial may shorten the duration andlessen the severity of illness regardless of whether the pills contain active ingredients. Thisphenomenon, the result of expectations, is known as the placebo effect. In experimentsdesigned to determine vitamin C’s effect on colds, this mind-body effect must be rigorouslycontrolled. Severity of symptoms is often a subjective measure, and people who believe theyare receiving treatment may report less severe symptoms. One way experimenters control forthe placebo effect is to give pills to all participants. Those in the experimental group, forexample, receive pills containing vitamin C, and those in the control group receive aplacebo—pills of similar appearance and taste containing an inactive ingredient. This way,the expectations of both groups will be equal. It is not necessary to convince all subjects thatthey are receiving vitamin C, but the extent of belief or unbelief must be the same in bothgroups. A study conducted under these conditions is called a blind experiment—that is, thesubjects do not know (are blind to) whether they are members of the experimental group(receiving treatment) or the control group (receiving the placebo).DoubleBlind: When both the subjects and the researchers do not know which subjects are inwhich group, the study is called a double-blind experiment. Being fallible human beings andhaving an emotional and sometimes financial investment in a successful outcome, researchersmight record and interpret results with a bias in the expected direction. To prevent such bias,the pills are coded by a third party, who does not reveal to the experimenters which subjectsare in which group until all results have been recorded.DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: Understand

Describe the steps involved in establishing nutrient values that make up the Dietary Reference Intakes.ANSWER:The DRI Committee consists of highly qualified scientists who base their estimates ofnutrient needs on careful examination and interpretation of scientific evidence. Theserecommendations apply to healthy people and may not be appropriate for people withdiseases that increase or decrease nutrient needs.Estimated Average Requirements (EAR): The committee reviews hundreds of researchstudies to determine the requirement for a nutrient—how much is needed in the diet. Thecommittee selects a different criterion for each nutrient based on its roles in supportingvarious activities in the body and in reducing disease risks.An examination of all the available data reveals that each person’s body is unique and has itsown set of requirements. Men differ from women, and needs change as people grow frominfancy through old age. For this reason, the committee clusters its recommendations forpeople into groups based on gender and age. Even so, the exact requirements for people ofthe same gender and age are likely to be different. Using this information, the committeedetermines an Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for each nutrient—the average amountthat appears sufficient for half of the population.Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA): Once a nutrient requirement is established, thecommittee must decide what intake to recommend for everybody—the RecommendedDietary Allowance (RDA). The EAR is probably closest to everyone’s need. If peopleconsumed exactly the average requirement of a given nutrient each day, however,approximately half of the population would develop deficiencies of that nutrient.Recommendations are therefore set greater than the EAR to meet the needs of most healthypeople.Adequate Intakes (AI): For some nutrients, such as vitamin K, there is insufficient scientificevidence to determine an EAR (which is needed to set an RDA). In these cases, thecommittee establishes an Adequate Intake (AI) instead of an RDA. An AI reflects theaverage amount of a nutrient that a group of healthy people consumes. Like the RDA, the AImay be used as nutrient goals for individuals.Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL): The recommended intakes for nutrients are generous,yet they may not be sufficient for every individual for every nutrient. Nevertheless, it isprobably best not to exceed these recommendations by very much or very often. Individualtolerances for high doses of nutrients vary, and somewhere beyond the recommended intakeis a point beyond which a nutrient is likely to become toxic. This point is known as theTolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: UnderstandREFERENCES:1.4 Dietary Reference IntakesLEARNINGOBJECTIVES:UNUT.WHRO.16.1.4 - Define the four categories of the DRI and explain their purposes.105.

What approach is taken in setting recommendations for energy intakes and why? How does this approach differ fromthat taken for other nutrients?ANSWER:In contrast to the RDA and AI values for nutrients, the recommendation for energy is notgenerous. Excess energy cannot be readily excreted and is eventually stored as body fat.These reserves may be beneficial when food is scarce, but they can also lead to obesity andits associated health consequences.Estimated Energy Requirement (EER): The energy recommendation—called the EstimatedEnergy Requirement (EER)—represents the average dietary energy intake (kcalories per day)that will maintain energy balance in a person who has a healthy body weight and level ofphysical activity. Balance is key to the energy recommendation. Enough food energy isneeded to sustain a healthy and active life, but too much can lead to weight gain and obesity.Because any amount in excess of energy needs will result in weight gain, no upper level forenergy has been determined.Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)People don’t eat energy directly; they derive energy from foods containing carbohydrates,fats, and proteins. Each of these three energy-yielding nutrients contributes to the total energyintake, and those contributions vary in relation to one another. The DRI committee hasdetermined that the composition of a diet that provides adequate energy and nutrients andreduces the risk of chronic diseases is:45 to 65 percent kcalories from carbohydrate

List and discuss four methods commonly used to assess nutritional status of individuals.ANSWER:To prepare a nutrition assessment, a registered dietitian (or registered dietitian nutritionist),dietetic technician, registered, or other trained health-care professional uses:Historical informationAnthropometric measurementsPhysical examinationsLaboratory testsOne step in evaluating nutrition status is to obtain information about a person’s history withrespect to health status, socioeconomic status, drug use, and diet. The health history reflects aperson’s medical record and may reveal a disease that interferes with the person’s ability toeat or the body’s use of nutrients. The person’s family history of major diseases is alsonoteworthy, especially for conditions such as heart disease that have a genetic tendency torun in families. Economic circumstances may show a financial inability to buy foods orinadequate kitchen facilities in which to prepare them. Social factors such as marital status,ethnic background, and educational level also influence food choices and nutrition status. Adrug history, including all prescribed and over-the-counter medications, may highlightpossible interactions that lead to nutrient deficiencies.A second technique that may help to reveal nutrition problems is taking anthropometricmeasures such as height and weight. The assessor compares a person’s measurements withstandards specific for gender and age or with previous measures on the same individual.A third nutrition assessment technique is a physical examination looking for clues to poornutrition status. Visual inspection of the hair, eyes, skin, posture, tongue, and fingernails canprovide such clues. In addition, information gathered from an interview can help identifysymptoms. The examination requires skill because many physical signs and symptoms reflectmore than one nutrient deficiency or toxicity—or even nonnutrition conditions. Like theother assessment techniques, a physical examination alone does not yield firm conclusions.Instead, physical examinations reveal possible imbalances that must be confirmed by otherassessment techniques, or they confirm results from other assessment measures.A fourth way to detect a developing deficiency, imbalance, or toxicity is to take samples ofblood or urine, analyze them in the laboratory, and compare the results with normal valuesfor a similar population. Laboratory tests are most useful in uncovering early signs ofmalnutrition before symptoms appear. In addition, they can confirm suspicions raised byother assessment methods.DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: RememberREFERENCES:1.5 Nutrition AssessmentLEARNINGOBJECTIVES:UNUT.WHRO.16.1.5 - Explain how the four assessment methods are used to detect energyand nutrient deficiencies and excesses.108. Discuss how the results from national nutrition surveys are used by private and government agencies and groups.ANSWER:National nutrition surveys gather information about the population’s dietary, nutritional, andrelated health status. One survey collects data on the kinds and amounts of foods people eat.Another survey examines the people themselves, using anthropometric measurements,
Page 30 of 31
Test Bank For Understanding Nutrition: Dietary Guidelines Update 14th Edition Test Bank - Page 30 preview imageChapter 01 - An Overview of NutritionPage 29physical examinations, and laboratory tests. The data provide valuable information on severalnutrition-related conditions, such as growth retardation, heart disease, and nutrientdeficiencies. National nutrition surveys often oversample high-risk groups (low-incomefamilies, pregnant women, adolescents, the elderly, African Americans, and MexicanAmericans) to glean an accurate estimate of their health and nutrition status. The resultingwealth of information from the national nutrition surveys is used for a variety of purposes.For example, Congress uses this information to establish public policy on nutrition education,food assistance programs, and the regulation of the food supply. Scientists use theinformation to establish research priorities. The food industry uses these data to guidedecisions in public relations and product development. The Dietary Reference Intakes andother major reports that examine the relationships between diet and health depend oninformation collected from these nutrition surveys. These data also provide the basis fordeveloping and monitoring national health goals.DIFFICULTY:Bloom's: RememberREFERENCES:1.5 Nutrition AssessmentLEARNINGOBJECTIVES:UNUT.WHRO.16.1.5 - Explain how the four assessment methods are used to detect energyand nutrient deficiencies and excesses.109.

Discuss the meaning and significance of the relationships between risk factors and chronic diseases.ANSWER:Factors that increase or reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases can be identified byanalyzing statistical data. A strong association between a risk factor and a disease means thatwhen the factor is present, the likelihood of developing the disease increases. It does notmean that all people with the risk factor will develop the disease. Similarly, a lack of riskfactors does not guarantee freedom from a given disease.
