영·유아의 영양평가 = Nutritional Assessment in Infant and Young Child

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nutritional assessment therefore should be an integral part of the care in infant and and young child. Components of a complete nutritional assessment include a medical history, nutritional history including dietary intake, physical examination, anthropometrics (weight, length or stature, head circumference, midarm circumference, and triceps skinfold thickness), skeletal maturity staging, and biochemical tests of nutritional status. The use of age, gender, and disease-specific growth charts is essential in assessing nutritional status and monitoring nutrition interventions. The importance of accurate measurements using trained personnel and appropriate equipment cannot be overemphasized.
