Understanding dietary requirements and investigating modifications to food preparation
As you have read, some diet-related conditions are caused by either a deficiency or excess of a particular nutrient. Other diet-related
conditions include osteoporosis, diabetes and iron deficiency anaemia.
Research one of these conditions and present your findings using a web 2.0 strategy. In your presentation include the following:
• The cause (risk factors) and symptoms of the condition
• Statistics of the prevalence of the condition
• Recommendations for suitable foods* (and quantities where applicable) to be included in the diet (include the amount of
the nutrient required in the diet and how this differs across the life span)
• At least two recipes which would be suited to people with iron deficiency anaemia, diabetes or osteoporosis. *
• Two commercially based products that would be suitable for people to consume who may be at risk of osteoporosis,
diabetes or iron deficiency anaemia. Justify why these are suitable for reducing the risk of the condition
2. The cause (risk factors) and symptoms of the condition
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become fragile and brittle. People with this condition
consequently have a higher risk of. “Osteoporosis as it occurs when bones lose minerals, such as
calcium, more quickly than the body can replace them, leading to a loss of bone thickness (bone
density or mass)”.
As bones lose minerals they become thinner, less dense and thus weaker. Minor bumps or a slight
fall can cause serious fractures in people who have osteoporosis. The fractures that are suffered as a
result of a bump or fall can cause the bone being either completely or partially broken. Due to the
break or fracture, the bones can then be prone to further breaks and fractures because they have
been weakened. All bones within the body can be affected by osteoporosis , but some seem more
prevalent than others. The hip, spine, wrist, upper arm, ribs and forearm seem to be the most
common bones that suffer from osteoporosis.
Often we see people with a seriously hunched spine. In most cases older people who have hunched
spines suffer from osteoporosis. Their spines become hunched due to several fractures or breaks in
their back bones. As these breaks and fractures mend it result in the person losing height and their
posture changes.
Osteoporosis is often called the 'silent disease’ as it does not usually present with symptoms until a
fracture occurs.
There are some other factors that make select individuals more at risk of suffering from osteoporosis.
If Osteoporosis is suffered by other family members there is a greater risk that you could suffer from
it too.
Some medical conditions and medications can also effect your bone health eg Corticosteroids that
are prescribed for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Low hormone
levels , delayed puberty and early menopause are conditions that can make women more susceptible
to osteoporosis. Bone density can reduce more rapidly in men with low testosterone levels and thus
make them more at risk of osteoporosis.
Select lifestyle factors can also make individuals more prone to osteoporosis. Little physical activity,
smoking, and excessive drinking have been found to increase a person’s chances of suffering from
osteoporosis too.
3. Statistics of the prevalence of the condition.
Osteoporosis is considered to be a very common medical problem in Australia. According to Osteoporosis
Australia this condition affects over 1 million Australians.
Statistically women are more prone to Osteoporosis than men. This is due to the fact that women experience a
rapid decline in estrogen levels during menopause. Unfortunately for women when oestrogen levels decrease a
side effect is that their bones lose calcium and other minerals at a much faster rate. Scientific findings indicate
that women lose 2% of bone per year occurs for several years after menopause. Thus making their bones
become weak very quickly.
Men are more at risk of osteoporosis as they become older. Although men also lose bone as they become
older, their testosterone levels decrease much more gradually than women’s estrogen levels. This effectively
means that their bone mass reduces much more gradually and that their bones tend to be more stable for
longer.
4. Recommendations for suitable foods (and quantities where
applicable)to be included in the diet (include the amount of
the nutrient in the diet and how this differs across the life
span).
Adults require 1,000 mg per day of calcium (preferably through diet)
and this increases to 1,300 mg per day in women over 50 and men
over 70.
A lack of sun exposure can mean you are not getting enough vitamin
D, which your body needs to absorb calcium. 400IU of vitamin D each
day is recommended.
Foods recommended to include in your diet to assist with the
prevention of Osteoporosis include: Dairy foods like milk, cheese and
yoghurt, and dark leaf and green vegetables rich in calcium, as are
tinned salmon and sardines (with edible bones).
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and adolescent boys,
need even more calcium in their diets. This is because the growing
fetus draws on the calcium within the woman’s body and a breast
feeding baby draws the calcium from their mother when feeding.
Adolescent boys grow at a rapid pace and they require additional
calcium to support their fast growing bones.
5. Two commercially based products that would be suitable for people to consume who may
be at risk of osteoporosis, diabetes or iron deficiency anemia. Justify why these are
suitable for reducing the risk of the condition.
