ABOUT THE SERIES
Dietary
recommendations need to be based on solid evidence, but where can you
find this information? The British Dietetic Association and the
publishers of the Manual of Dietetic Practice present an
essential and authoritative reference series on the evidence base
relating to advanced aspects of nutrition and diet in selected clinical
specialties. Each book provides a comprehensive and critical review of
key literature in its subject. Each covers established areas of
understanding, current controversies and areas of future development and
investigation, and is oriented around six key themes:
- Disease processes, including metabolism, physiology, and genetics
- Disease consequences, including morbidity, mortality, nutritional epidemiology and patient perspectives
- Nutritional consequences of diseases
- Nutritional assessment, drawing on anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, dietary, economic and social approaches
- Clinical investigation and management
- Nutritional and dietary management
- Trustworthy,
international in scope, and accessible, Advanced Nutrition and
Dietetics is a vital resource for a range of practitioners, researchers
and educators in nutrition and dietetics, including dietitians,
nutritionists, doctors and specialist nurses.
