Body protein in prepubertal children with phenylketonuria

Article Abstract:

Children with phenylketonuria (PKU) need special diets to ensure that their physiological impairment is minimized as they grow older. These special PKU diets are designed to ensure that phenylamine intake is kept to a minimum as this is the best way to ensure that children with the disease develop as normally as possible. An examination of 37 prepubertal PKU patients and 27 healthy children sheds light on the role nutritional planning plays in the treatment of prepubertal PKU. Results indicate that targeted nutritional planning early in life can greatly aid the development of children with PKU.

A review of the nutritional needs of Meals on Wheels consumers and factors associated with the provision of an effective Meals on Wheels service: an Australian perspective

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of Australia's Meals on Wheels service is influenced by a range of variables. However, the nutritional effect of the service and the standard of food hygiene are key assessment criteria. There is a consensus in the literature that the nutrition education of at risk Meals on Wheels consumers is a significant aspect of the service. It appears that the nutritional status of consumers is connected with demographic and socio-economic factors, along with menus which take account of individual consumers' needs and preferences.
