Summary:

NUTRITION ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN is designed to provide comprehensive nutrition information on each specific stage of the life span in a clear and concise manner. It is written specifically for required life span courses in undergraduate nutrition and dietetics programs, and is directed to students, teachers, and healthcare professionals who require more in-depth knowledge of nutritional needs as they study or work with individuals at various stages in the human life span. Chapters have been reorganized to create a more natural flow through the life span, from conception and infancy, into adulthood and advanced age. Content is extensively updated to cover the latest developments in the field of nutrition, including new cultural content, social and behavioral aspects of nutrition, new information on genetics and nutrition, Dietary Reference Intakes, Healthy People 2010 information, and more.
